About the Internet Healthcare Coalition
The Coalition is an international, non-partisan, non-profit organization
dedicated to promoting quality healthcare resources on the Internet.
Founded in 1997, the Coalition's membership represents every sector of the
Internet health space, including consumers, patient advocates, commercial
developers of health information, health professionals, medical librarians,
government officials, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The goal of the
Coalition is to educate healthcare consumers, health professionals and
others about the evolving issues relating to the quality of Internet health
resources and information. The Coalition also fulfills a valuable role in
building consensus among the many stakeholders involved in online health
information quality issues.

In October 1999, responding to calls from within the Internet Health
community, the Coalition launched its ongoing 'eHealth Ethics Initiative" to
provide a forum for the development of a universal set of ethical principles
for health-related Web sites.
