OBJECTIVE: This study describes the development of an educational web site about intrahospital transportation of critically ill patients. METHODS: The goal of this Web site is to provide information to health care professionals, students, and faculty members about safe transportation of this type of patient. Trochim's model for development of Web sites served as a conceptual framework for this study. RESULTS: The model consists of four general phases: conceptualization, development, implementation, and evaluation. These phases are interrelated to each other and constitute a recurring cycle. CONCLUSIONS: The newly developed web site may serve as a practical guideline to improve the quality of care when transporting critical ill patients. It can be accessed in the World Wide Web at URL: <A HREF="http://www.unifesp.br/denf/nien/transporte">www.unifesp.br/denf/nien/transporte</A>.
