Value-adding information: virtual conferencing, a telecommunication pathway to the future.
The information or digital age has turned information communication upside down and inside out. This article describes use of the Internet and World Wide Web information flow and communication for a virtual professional health national event, in Australia. The stored information and subsequent dialogue were available nationally and internationally, making the telecommunication conference a global one. Defined are the background, vision, and assumptions on which the conceptual conference structure was ultimately designed, implemented, and evaluated, including the implications for value-adding nursing information.
