The growth in the number of medical and health web sites and the varying quality of medical and health information currently available on the World-Wide Web has created the need for guidelines to help homogenise this quality. Health On the Net Foundation (HON) has initiated the Code of Conduct (HON-code) in response to concerns expressed to the Foundation, by members of the Net community. This article presents the HON-code's principles since its launch in 1996 and its status in 1997. This initiative offers information providers good practice guidelines and offers users an indication of commitment to quality by those providers.
医疗卫生网站数量的增长以及当前万维网上医疗卫生信息质量参差不齐，这就产生了制定指南以帮助统一信息质量的需求。国际医疗卫生机构认证组织（HON）基金会应网络社区成员向该基金会表达的担忧，发起了《行为准则》（HON准则）。本文介绍了HON准则自1996年发布以来的原则及其在1997年的状况。这一举措为信息提供者提供了良好实践指南，并向用户表明了这些提供者对质量的承诺。
