A system and a method are disclosed for gathering and visualizing votes on the comparative efficacy, tolerability, and cost of medical treatments, including surgeries, drugs, devices, radiological and other procedures and interventions, using an Internet-based, credentialed physician social network. The system includes a method for intuitive head-to-head visualization of competing treatments, based upon aggregated community physician votes, with respect to their performance on the principal clinical dimensions of efficacy, tolerability, and cost. The system additionally includes a method to reduce intentional and unintentional voting bias.
