Q: It's so difficult to keep up-to-date with all of the changes that come up in healthcare on a daily basis. I belong to several staff development listservs, but could use some guidance when it comes to clinical and legislative information.

A: Here are some sites I use to access relevant information. You can sign up for free e-mail alerts on a huge number of healthcare topics.

• Food and Drug Administration (FDA): On the upper right corner of the website's home page there is a link to sign up for e-mails and/or podcasts (www.fda.gov)
• Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ): You can sign up for e-mail updates on a wide variety of topics by clicking on the "sign up for e-mails" link on the home page (www.ahrq.gov)
• National Institutes of Health (NIH): Sign up by following appropriate links on the home page (http://nih.gov)
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): Links for sign-up can be accessed on the home page (www.cdc.gov)

A number of these sites also have access to Facebook and Twitter options.
