- Introduction: It exams health information quality based on knowledge network of the Virtual Health Library (VHL). It demonstrates its importance to generate information quality in digital spaces providing scientific information to Latin American and Caribbean health systems. The VHL management model operates on the Internet and is based on networks of producers, intermediaries and users of information for the dissemination of scientific communication and health information quality. It argues where in the life cycle of VHL can key aspects of quality be measured? And how it impacts in the ideal of health information quality? Material: Actions and recommendations adopted by the VHL model are registered in VHL’s manual. Methodology: This qualitative and quantitative research study presents literature review and applies 5S methodology to develop a framework to characterize the VHL quality properties. This approach has been proposing a definition of quality model of the Digital Library include the module Societies that represents contributions to the understanding of quality. In this sense, it contributes to develop a framework to characterize the VHL quality properties. Dimensions of quality for VHL services can be classified as to external and internal points of view. Results: Knowledge networks in the model-type VHL expand on the idea of quality of health information meaning. VHL model operates with three main strategies regarding to institutional cooperation, information sources producers and information users participative. They are: decentralization, cooperation and virtual communities of users. Indicators for assessing the quality of VHL information for national development and theme of its model are formed from the interactions of virtual communities in constant expansion. This suggests that knowledge networks impact the conception of health information quality. Conclusions: It is essential consider social networks as part of digital library evaluation to define health information quality. The integrity of the quality indicators used in this research suggests that the available literature on the subject contributed to systematize quality of information based on knowledge networks. The dynamics of constant change of management model and networks of virtual communities in health promote the need for monitoring the VHL model in order to explore the issue of quality health information.
