Project „e-Europe+ 2003“ in health care - implementation of new criteria for www information

The features of medical web presentation are not regulated at present by any rules, the formulation of which could ameliorate substantially the information quality both for public and health professionals. In addition, some useful foreign activities existing for postgraduate education and public enlightenment are not used in our conditions yet. Many questions are solved in project “e-Europe+ 2003”. The basic problem (besides telematics and connection of EU databases) is application of criteria of quality for health care information: in the field of accessibility of quality information for different groups of users and also in the creation of health care web pages.
