Consumer Health Connections: A Kiosk Solution

ABSTRACT

Hospital patients and their families need reliable health information quickly, and the ability to communicate electronically with loved ones is imperative. Our computer-savvy customers expect to be able to “Google” information and send e-mails as if they were at home. Internet kiosks allow librarians and health professionals to encourage e-mail communication and to direct information-seeking to authoritative sites on the Internet.
