Health Online: Finding Information You Can Trust is an educational program developed by Wisconsin Health Literacy to help students learn how to navigate and feel confident searching for health information online.  This lesson plan highlights: searching for trusted health information, how to read a webpage – quick facts and key points, how to tell if the information you found is from a good source, finding websites in other languages, and local places to use the internet.

Students begin with an introduction to the electronic health record. Confidentiality and privacy are introduced through an understanding of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Potential consequences that may occur when confidentiality is breached is explored. Videos that include cases are embedded in this prepared power point.
