Mapping Health and the Internet: Strategies for Learning in an Information Age

The Internet is increasingly used to access information on clinical guidelines and updates about key aspects of health. This book covers the diversity and variable value of material on the Internet, and takes a fresh approach to coping with information overload. It illustrates how simple techniques such as making and using smart maps, concept maps and mind maps can help clinicians keep up-to-date, and how these methods can be applied to particular areas of healthcare. It provides many case studies in key areas, including mental health, child health, primary care and care of the elderly.
