(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040820/RESEARCH ) Work-related Internet use is increasing among physicians in Europe and the US. The importance of online health information is growing in importance for physicians. In Europe, physician Internet use is most common outside of working hours. However, in the US, physicians are more inclined to use the Internet during patient visits and are making greater use of the available eHealth tools. While searching for health information online is an established practice among physicians, pharmaceutical companies must ensure the information they provide is user-friendly for physicians who have limited time. A large proportion of physicians are unhappy with the high number of mistakes made during the prescribing process and believe that ePrescribing may be able to help resolve this problem. Physicians in the US are most keen with 73% of the surveyed US physicians willing to use ePrescribing tools in the future. More than half of the surveyed physicians would also like to use eDetailing tools in the future. The most desired format is interactive websites while the use of handheld devices in eDetailing is not popular. US physicians are the most keen for change with 43% stating that they would like eDetails to replace live details completely. This analysis identifies the large growth potential for online tools.Information provided Includes:
