We conducted a survey to determine the current and potential uses of computerized information systems in clinical rheumatology. One in 3 rheumatologists currently uses an office based computer, primarily for administrative functions, and at least one in 5 is likely to acquire a computer in the near future. Survey responses indicate that the increased use of office based computers will increase the willingness of community practitioners to participate in clinical research. This development will provide an opportunity to broaden the scope of clinical research participation and to increase the pool of patients available for cooperative clinical trials in rheumatology.
我们开展了一项调查，以确定计算机信息系统在临床风湿病学中的当前及潜在用途。三分之一的风湿病学家目前使用办公电脑，主要用于行政职能，并且五分之一以上的人在不久的将来可能会购置一台电脑。调查反馈表明，办公电脑使用的增加将提高社区医生参与临床研究的意愿。这一发展将提供一个机会，来扩大临床研究参与的范围，并增加可用于风湿病合作临床试验的患者群体。
