Abstract

Women's College Hospital (WCH), Toronto, Canada, embarked on a review of 5 years of Web-based e-mail communications to address broad issues of managerial policy and procedure as related to the institution's expanding role in Web-based communication. The hospital looked at who was sending messages, why they were communicating, and how the institution should respond to the new demands placed on them by virtual communicators. The article provides a brief discussion of the results of the review and points out that attention must be given to a broad range of organizational challenges and opportunities posed by such communications. Suggestions related to how health care organizations may respond better to and serve their virtual audiences are offered.

[Citing electronic sources in scientific articles].

In 1995 a reference to an electronic source of information first appeared in this journal. Such sources are neither permanently available nor unchangeable. Both qualities are of central importance to the progress of scientific knowledge. Readers must have the opportunity to check the information referred to in scientific publications. It is scientifically useless to refer to a source that readers may not be able to find or where they find something else than the authors did when they wrote their article. However, electronic media, volatile as they may be, can be a very useful means of alerting readers to medical scientific developments. Therefore the editors of this journal have chosen to accept references to electronic information by way of a 'written communication' in parentheses in the text, until electronic scientific information is stored in an unalterable and generally accessible permanent form. The list of references at the end of scientific articles will be reserved to generally available paper and CD-ROM sources.
