Health Information On the Internet
The Internet has proven to be a resourceful information medium if used wisely. However, almost anyone can post information on the Internet. Therefore, be very careful of the information you may find on the Internet. It is advisable to use resources from reputable sources such as government agencies, accredited educational institutions, well established profit and non-profit organizations and agencies, and personal authors with identifiable credentials. The Community Health Information Services can help you find quality health information.


The Quality of Health Care website is a special collaborative project between Wayne State University College of Nursing and Vera P. Shiffman Medical Library. These resources provide useful information on understanding quality heatlh care, evaluating health care services, and making informed health decisions.
