The Web is changing the nature of health care delivery. Health care professionals and their patients have access to an increasingly vast amount of information on web-sites around the world; through email and interactive web-sites physicians can maintain close communications with patients; and remote monitoring equipment placed in the patient's home can send data cheaply through the Internet. As a result, opportunities abound to improve the quality of care through better patient and provider education, improved monitoring of chronic conditions, better managed physician-patient relationships, and increased involvement of patients in managing their health.
