For example Patients can be provided with identification wristbands carrying an RFID tag or a barcode that will be used throughout the patient†s stay in hospital.
The tag or barcode would allow caregivers to positively identify and match patients to their care †for

Additional problems appeared with the growing use of web portals rating healthcare services. Patients often subscribe to expert websites and search information
regarding their illness on the Internet. Although this practice may have advantages the major drawback concerns the trustworthiness of information.
