This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emerging digital economy within the United States has produced an economic expansion far exceeding the expectations of many. Information technology is largely viewed as a component to the success of the New Economy. New technology facilitates change creating new challenges for society. In particular, the Internet has changed many elements within society such as health care. Many Web sites provide medical advice and information to anyone that has access to the Internet. This availability of information has made it conceivable for health care consumers to be better informed without having to visit a physician in person. Both the patient and the physician using the Internet may retrieve the same health care information. Current research has not adequately assessed the impact of the Internet on the patient-physician relationship. Health care professionals as well as social scientists do not clearly comprehend what role the Internet may have on the patient-physician relationship. Little is known about the way in which the role of the clinician is changing in response to the Internet and the changing roles of patients.

Download or read book Medical Specialists Accounts of the Impact of the Internet on the Doctor Patient Relationship written by Alex Broom and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In the context of health service delivery, deprofessionalization denotes a trend towards a demystification of medical expertise and increasing lay scepticism about health professionals, suggesting a decline in the power and status of the medical profession. This process has been linked to increasing consumerism, the rise of complementary medicine and the emergence of the Internet. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews with prostate cancer specialists, this article explores their experiences of the Internet user within the context of the medical consultation. Results suggest that the deprofessionalization thesis is inadequate for capturing the complex and varying ways in which specialists view, and respond to, the Internet-informed patient. It is argued that the ways in which these specialists are adapting to the Internet and the Internet user should be viewed as strategic responses, rather than reflecting a breakdown in their authority or status.

Book excerpt: This thesis explores the impact of the Internet within healthcare, and in particular, how access to information and support online impacts on patients' experiences of disease and the doctor/patient relationship. Drawing on a qualitative study involving 33 in-depth interviews with Australian men suffering from prostate cancer and 18 with prostate cancer specialists, this thesis shows how accessing information and/or support online can have a profound effect on men's experiences of prostate cancer, playing a key role in enhancing their knowledge, increasing their ability to engage with their specialist/s, and reducing uncertainty within disease and treatment processes. -- abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated public reactions and physicians' views on the effects of direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of prescription medications and health information on the Internet. To this end, separate surveys of the general public (Part 1) and physicians (Part 2) were conducted. The Survey of the Public collected data on demographics, health status, health insurance coverage, perceived quality of medical care, sources of medical information, and attitudes toward and experience with DTCAs and health information on the Internet. Respondents who had seen a DTCA or health information on the Internet in the past 12 months, perceived it as personally relevant, and discussed it with their physician were asked about the last time they had done this, e.g., whether they scheduled the doctor visit specifically because they wanted to discuss information they got from the Internet, whether, during or after the visit, the doctor diagnosed them with the disease or medical condition that a DTCA related to, and whether or not their physician ordered a test, changed their medication or treatment, or referred them to a specialist when they talked about a DCTA during the visit. Similarly, the Survey of Physicians explored the most recent occasion when physicians talked to a patient about information the patient found on the Internet or obtained from a DTCA. Physicians expressed their views on the impact of this information on health outcomes, health service utilization, and the physician-patient relationship. Additional topics covered by the Survey of Physicians included the role physicians played in their patients' health care decisions and role they would like to play in these decisions, physicians' use of the Internet for purposes related to the practice of medicine, and physicians' practice profiles, income, age, race, and Hispanic origin. The data from the Survey of Physicia ... Cf. : http://webapp.icpsr.umich.edu/cocoon/ICPSR-STUDY/03994.xml.
