General practitioners in New Zealand find computerisation a necessity, with 84% using computers for at least one task. Key concerns include potential interference with doctor-patient communication and privacy issues.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • General Practice Technology Adoption

Background:

  • Computerisation is increasingly vital in general practice.
  • Understanding the current state of computerisation and its impact is crucial for effective implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess general practitioners' views on computerisation in New Zealand.
  • To identify tasks currently computerised and those with potential for future computerisation.

Main Methods:

  • A postal survey was distributed to 500 general practitioners in New Zealand in May 1995.
  • Data from the 268 respondents (54% response rate) were collated and analysed.

Main Results:

  • 85% of responders believe computerisation is a necessity; 84% use computers for at least one task.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Most frequent computerised tasks include maintaining age-sex registers (81%), recalls (80%), and administration (77%).
  • Concerns were raised regarding computer use interfering with doctor-patient communication (43%) and inadequate privacy measures (33%).

    • Conclusions:

    • Despite a low response rate, trends indicate widespread computerisation is perceived as necessary.
    • High potential for computerisation exists in areas like doctor education, drug interaction checks, and patient education.
    • Interference with doctor-patient communication and privacy remain significant concerns for general practitioners.
