Abstract

In an emerging knowledge society, information and communication technologies (ICT) enable new and beneficial applications for Comprehensive Health Care.  For this reason, the Official Nursing Association of Barcelona has created a resource related with the new technologies and with the web 2.0: Virtual Nursing (VN).  It is an educational and health promotion portal that targets citizens with the sole purpose of helping to provide the best nursing care and to do so in the manner nurses do: by empowering and enabling patients to make their own health-related decisions.  In this sense, it is a working tool for nurses and an excellent tool to ensure continued care and support to in situ care.  It is also a global professional project that supports each nursing intervention and provides coherence to our entire professional offer.
