About Us

The Internet is a rapidly growing communications resource that has had an impact on health care, and it is anticipated that the Internet will soon have a major effect on nursing and other health care sectors. It is essential for nurses and other health care professionals to have a conceptual framework for understanding the many aspects of the Internet. In this twenty first century, we are now witnessing major changes in technology and the impact these changes are having upon our culture and work. Of these changes, one of the most significant is that occurring in information technology, brought about by advances in computers and networking. We are now able to communicate faster, to more places and in more ways than ever before. These potentials, however, bring with them unanticipated difficulties as the speed and dispersion of information increase. Health care professionals are now faced with an overwhelming set of new information demands and information sources. Computerized patient records, third-party payer databases, and artificial intelligence based diagnostic instruments are just a small selection of possible examples. Any individual facing such a deluge will fail in their attempt to navigate this future without a framework for incorporating and organizing these informational challenges. The Internet is one particular example of such an information challenge.

The Internet is becoming a part of everyday life for everyone, and this presence is extending into nursing as well. This site is intended to provide a common platform for accessing relevant information on the internet nurses and health care professionals.

The materials in the site will be updated frequently and new articles will be added every month.
