Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Digital Health
  • Physician Technology Adoption

Background:

  • Mobile technology, including tablets and smartphones, is rapidly integrating into clinical practice.
  • Physician adoption impacts educational media, remote patient data access, and point-of-care applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify mobile technology usage patterns among physicians.
  • To understand how mobile technology adoption shapes current clinical care and medical education.

Main Methods:

  • A digital survey was emailed to ACGME training programs.
  • Data collected included respondent specialty, training level, and tablet usage habits.
  • Analysis focused on usage patterns and perceived benefits/barriers.

Main Results:

  • 40% of respondents used tablets, with iPads being most popular.
  • Nearly half of tablet users utilized them in clinical settings, primarily for point-of-care and electronic medical record access.
  • Higher training levels correlated with lower perceived benefits of mobile computing for physician capabilities and patient interaction.

Conclusions:

  • Physicians recognize the utility of mobile computing and desire institutional support and integration into medical education.
  • Barriers to adoption may include technology interference with patient interaction and lack of suitable applications.
  • Collaboration is needed to enhance the efficacy, reliability, and safety of mobile device integration in healthcare.
