Patient Resources

Having noted that more and more patients seek medical advice via the internet, the leadership for Valley Regional Hospital decided to publish a guide for patients that lists recommended Web sites and other resources. Consider how this plan may impact patient safety and security safeguards. Decide whether you would support the plan, and write a post in which you respond according to your view.

If you do not support this plan, what do you find problematic about it? How would you convince hospital leadership to drop this idea?
If you do support this plan, how would you determine which sites to recommend?
