ZocDoc lets patients schedule appointments with physicians, by linking directly to their office scheduling systems.
HealthGrades enables patients to find a specialist near them, and rate the experience afterwords.

Both are available across a growing number of major metropolitan areas, going national and perhaps beyond.
Think of this as a new entry channel for CRM systems. Additionally in the future there should be a chance to really perform analytics and understand the health consumption patterns across the country, by specialty.
