Quality of health information on the internet has improved

The quality of health information on the internet has improved over the past few years despite concerns over poor quality and its possible consequences.

However, Pandolfini and Bonati (p 582) stress that monitoring health information on the internet for accuracy, completeness, and consistency is still fundamental.
