[Access to health information sources in Spain. how to combat "infoxication"]. / Acceso a fuentes de información sobre salud en España: cómo combatir la infoxicación.

Internet has become a priceless source for finding health information for both patients and healthcare professionals. However, the universality and the abundance of information can lead to unfounded conclusions about health issues that can confuse further than clarify the health information. This aspect causes intoxication of information: infoxication. The question lies in knowing how to filter the information that is useful, accurate and relevant for our purposes. In this regard, integrative portals, such as the Biblioteca Virtual de Salud, compile information at different levels (international, national and regional), different types of resources (databases, repositories, bibliographic sources, etc.), becoming a starting point for obtaining quality information.

[The Spanish best practice guidelines implementation project 2011-2016]. / Proyecto de implantación de Guías de Buenas Prácticas en España 2011-2016.

The Spanish Best Practice Guidelines Implementation Project 2011-2016 is intended to establish a reference framework for encouraging nursing decision-making based on the best available evidence at different levels of the National Health Service. In line with the Quality Plan for the National Health System 2010 of the Government of Spain, it pretends to improve the effectiveness, safety and efficiency of health care nurse, which will benefit our patients. This Project has been developed and will be set up thanks to the collaboration between the national Nursing Research Development and Coordination Unit (Investén-isciii), the Spanish Joanna Briggs Institute Collaboration Centre (consisted of the Institute of Health Carlos III, 14 Spanish Autonomous Communities and the Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality), and the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO), Canada. The Project is structured in four basic strategies in order to answer the objectives. The first strategy is the translation of the 41 Best Practice Guidelines, which were developed by RNAO to the date. The second strategy, the dissemination of the BPG, aims to promote awareness of the existing guidelines across the whole nursing community, and to provide free on-line access. The third and fourth strategies aim to promote and facilitate the BPGs use and maintenance. To achieve these 2 last strategies, a Network of Centres Committed to Excellence in Care will be created to implement, evaluate and sustain these BPGs.
