    Physicians see computers improving patient care but worry about control and privacy. Their attitudes, not experience, impact computer system use, slowing clinical adoption.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Health Information Technology
    • Physician Attitudes

    Background:

    • Healthcare professionals' adoption of technology is crucial for modern medicine.
    • Understanding physician perspectives on computer applications is vital for effective implementation.
    • Previous research indicates mixed feelings regarding technology integration in clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the attitudes of medical students, residents, and practicing physicians towards computer applications in medicine.
    • To identify specific concerns and uncertainties related to the integration of computers in healthcare.
    • To explore the relationship between physician attitudes, computer experience, and the utilization of hospital information systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey distributed to 148 medical students, 141 residents, and 644 practicing physicians.

  • Data collected on attitudes towards computer applications in medicine.
  • Analysis of concerns regarding patient care, control, privacy, and professional roles.

    • Main Results:

    • Physicians acknowledge computers' potential to enhance patient care.
    • Significant concerns exist regarding increased control, privacy threats, and legal/ethical issues.
    • All groups expressed uncertainty about computers' impact on professional roles and practice organization.
    • Practicing physicians showed greater concern than students and residents.
    • Attitudes, rather than experience, significantly influenced the use of hospital information systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician attitudes are a key factor influencing the adoption of computer-based systems in healthcare.
    • Concerns about control, privacy, and professional roles contribute to the slow introduction of clinical computer systems.
    • Addressing these concerns is essential for successful health information technology implementation.
