    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Computerized information systems are not widely adopted in clinical rheumatology practices.
    • Current use is primarily for administrative functions rather than clinical research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the current and potential applications of computerized information systems in rheumatology.
    • To understand the impact of technology adoption on clinical research participation.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted among rheumatologists to gather data on computer usage and future acquisition plans.
    • Analysis of survey responses to identify trends and predict future adoption rates.

    Main Results:

    • One in three rheumatologists currently uses office-based computers.

  • At least one in five rheumatologists plans to acquire a computer soon.
  • Increased computer use is associated with a greater willingness to participate in clinical research.

    • Conclusions:

    • Widespread adoption of computerized systems in rheumatology is anticipated.
    • This trend is expected to enhance rheumatologists' engagement in clinical research.
    • The pool of patients available for rheumatology clinical trials is likely to expand.
