Online resources for pediatric home care clinicians.
Pediatric home care clinicians dealing with premature infants can encounter any number of unusual conditions related to their patient's prematurity. Finding reliable information on the condition can be difficult for a clinician who does not have immediate access to a health sciences library. There are, however, many useful, reliable websites that can be consulted with a laptop that has wireless access. This article reviews a variety of useful websites with a wealth of evidence-based information. The author also provides information on Health on the Net (HON), a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization that has established a code of conduct that websites must meet in order to display their seal.
