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.

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.

Download or read book Understanding Healthcare Professional Involvement in Patient Internet Use written by Neil Morton and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of the Internet can increase patients' understanding about their medical conditions and offers opportunities to strengthen the patient-physician relationship, increase patient satisfaction, and improve health outcomes. However, physicians vary widely in the extent to which they accept patient online medical information seeking and make it part of the patient-physician relationship. This paper explores factors impacting the extent to which physicians advocate (encourage, speak in favor, or are supportive of) patient Internet use. Specifically, using social cognitive theory as a theoretical base, this study develops a model of the determinants of physician advocation of patient use of the Internet for information about medical conditions and treatments. Survey data collected from a random sample of 179 physicians licensed to practice medicine in Florida is used to test the proposed model. Proxy efficacy for patient Internet use, social efficacy for enlisting patient Internet use, performance outcomes expectations, and personal outcome expectations are shown to be significant determinants of physician professional advocation of patient Internet use. In addition to its direct impact, proxy efficacy is shown to influence intention to advocate patient Internet use indirectly thru social efficacy and outcome expectations, demonstrating the key role of this construct in the proxy agency model. Self-efficacy, in contrast, is not found to be a significant factor. Overall, the results support the proposed model of technology use.

Download or read book Digital Medicine written by Darrell M. West and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information technology has dramatically changed our lives in areas ranging from commerce and entertainment to voting. Now, policy advocates and government officials hope to bring the benefits of enhanced information technology to health care. Already, consumers can access a tremendous amount of medical information online. Some physicians encourage patients to use email or web messaging to manage simple medical issues. Increasingly, health care products can be purchased electronically. Yet the promise of e-health remains largely unfulfilled. Digital Medicine investigates the factors limiting digital technology's ability to remake health care. It explores the political, social, and ethical challenges presented by online health care, as well as the impact that racial, ethnic, and other disparities are having on the e-health revolution. It examines the accessibility of health-related websites for different populations and asks how we can close access gaps and ensure the reliability and trustworthiness of the information presented online. Darrell West and Edward Miller use multiple sources, including original survey research and website analysis, to study the content, sponsorship status, and public usage of health care-related websites, as well as the relationship between e-health utilization and attitudes about health care in the United States. They also explore the use of health information technology in other countries. The result is an important contribution to our understanding of health information innovation in America and around the world.

Download or read book Analysis of Internet social Media Use and the Patient provider Relationship written by Nicole Sanden and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internet and social media platforms are becoming increasingly more utilized amongst patients to obtain health information. While this may have several benefits to patients, including easier access to information and more involvement in their own care, there is a lack of research into how this affects the patient-provider relationship. This grant proposal intends to determine exactly how the use of the internet and social media to obtain health information affects patient anxiety and patient trust in providers. Through patient surveys, the independent variable of internet and social media use to obtain health information will be analyzed against the dependent variables of patient anxiety and patient trust in providers. This study is significant to the field of nursing because nurses and advanced nurse practitioners will continue to have patients present them with health information they found online. It is important that the provider helps the patient navigate this information and determine its quality and relevance to the individual's clinical situation. Understanding of the impacts internet and social media use can have on the patient-provider relationship can help influence future practice policies within healthcare.

Download or read book Patient Provider Interaction written by Lisa Sparks and published by Polity. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a much-needed introduction to the dynamics of the communication exchange between providers and patients in the health-care environment. Starting from the principle that health-care-providers and patients try to speak the same language to reach the best decisions for patient care, but often misunderstand each other whilst navigating the process of diagnosis, treatment and care, Lisa Sparks and Melinda Villagran clearly explain how health communication theory and research can help us better understand these complex interactions, and provide strategies for improving patient and provider communication. Sparks and Villagran cover a broad range of key issues and theories related to provider-patient interaction, including patient information and affective needs, barriers to effective communication in health-care contexts, and communication skills training for providers. Drawing on the most current literature in this vibrant field, they show the transformations that new technologies such as e-mail and text messaging have brought to communication with and between patients and providers, consider the roles of caregivers, both formal and informal, and illustrate how health-care organizations impact on interpersonal interactions. Throughout the book, Sparks and Villagran deftly illustrate how communicative understandings of patient-provider interaction can have positive practical outcomes, feeding into health behaviour change, creating a communication environment which can improve health literacy and ultimately lead to better health outcomes. With groundbreaking insights, on-point explanations, and deeply moving examples, Patient and Provider Interaction illuminates and enriches what is most often one of the most important interactions of our lives.
