title: Internet resources for end-of-life care.
abstract: Numerous publications highlight the need for critically evaluating medical information on the Internet. This review identifies Internet resources specifically dedicated to end-of-life care. An annotated review of key web-based resources is presented. The Internet has the potential to catalyze the doctor-patient relationship toward true "partnership." Physicians and patients will benefit from using a focused research strategy.
