Work-related online access and use of online tools is gaining ground amongst physicians. While searching for health information online is an established practice among physicians, pharmaceutical companies must ensure the information they provide is accurate and user-friendly for physicians who have limited time. This PowerPoint insight survey pack identifies the growth potential for online tools.
This report contains the results from a survey of 782 physicians in Europe, the US and Japan regarding their information requirements and online behaviour. It includes an examination of physician attitudes towards the key eHealth markets including continuing medical education, eDetailing, ePrescribing and eSampling. The report provides an analysis of specific physician usage and preferences, such as preferred contact methods, website technology features, common obstacles and deterrences. It gives insight into how physicians would like to use online tools to change the relationship with their patients and the tools that can help them to do so.
Physicians across countries have specific yet similar preferences regarding the sources of the online information and online tools they use as well how physicians are being contacted. There is an increasing interest level by physicians to use email, disease management and compliance tools to monitor their patients health. Online advertisements and product websites are also gaining ground in driving consumers to inquire about specific medications.
