Previous research has examined patients' attitudes toward use of exam room computers by physicians. Our objective was to determine patient attitudes toward physicians' exam room use of new tablet computers.
A random sample of 96 patients was interviewed immediately following a visit to a physician at an outpatient family medicine clinic at a large academic medical center in central Virginia. We excluded visits to first-year residents. Patients were asked about their attitudes toward technology use in the exam room using a previously validated 16-item structured questionnaire on patient attitudes toward technology use in the exam room.
The response rate was 97%. Survey results showed mostly positive patient perceptions of the tablets regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, and income. There were differences in attitudes toward privacy (by race and education), use of tablets by the physician (by education and age), depersonalization of the office visit (by race), and speed of medical files overview (by age).
The use of tablet computers by physicians in the examining room is perceived positively by most patients.
先前的研究探讨了患者对医生在检查室使用电脑的态度。我们的目的是确定患者对医生在检查室使用新型平板电脑的态度。
在弗吉尼亚州中部一家大型学术医疗中心的门诊家庭医学诊所，对96名患者进行了随机抽样，这些患者在看完医生后立即接受了访谈。我们排除了对一年级住院医师的问诊。使用一份先前验证过的关于患者对检查室技术使用态度的16项结构化问卷，询问患者对检查室技术使用的态度。
回复率为97%。调查结果显示，无论年龄、性别、种族、民族和收入如何，患者对平板电脑的看法大多是积极的。在隐私态度（按种族和教育程度）、医生使用平板电脑的情况（按教育程度和年龄）、门诊的非人性化（按种族）以及医疗文件浏览速度（按年龄）方面存在差异。
大多数患者对医生在检查室使用平板电脑持积极看法。
