It is well established that medical information sources develop continuously from printed media to digital online sources. To demonstrate effectiveness and feasibility of decentralized performed web-based information sources for health professionals, two projects are described. The information platform of the German Working Group for Information Technologies in Gynecology and Obstetrics (AIG) and the information source concerning the German Registry for in vitro fertilization (DIR) were implemented using ordinary software and standard computer equipment. Only minimal resources and training were necessary to perform safe and reliable web-based information sources with a high correlation of effectiveness in costs and time exposure.
