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.

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.
