Research and Markets: Investigate the Barriers to Adoption of eHealth Technology Solutions.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c47646) has announced the addition of Datamonitor's new report: Emerging eHealth Technologies: Key Trends Impacting the Physician-Patient Relationship physician-patient relationship Medical malpractice A formal or inferred relationship between a physician and a Pt, which is established once the physician assumes or undertakes the medical care or treatment of a Pt; the establishment of a PPR is 'automatic' in to their offering. Internet-enabled information communication technologies, such as computers, mobile phones and PDAs have had a significant impact on the physician-patient relationship by allowing for the efficient and cost-effective management of large volumes of information, as well as by supporting communications between individuals that would otherwise be prohibited pro·hib·it tr.v. pro·hib·it·ed, pro·hib·it·ing, pro·hib·its 1.

A species of sledge, used to draw traitors to execution. to overcome for many consumers who already have both ready access to an Internet-enabled technology and the willingness to use it to facilitate the medical care they receive. We find that consumers would be highly willing to use Internet-enabled compliance tools, such as emails, text messages or voicemail reminders, provided these services are available to them. Physicians in the US and Western Europe Western Europe The countries of western Europe, especially those that are allied with the United States and Canada in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (established 1949 and usually known as NATO). feel that low levels of awareness among healthcare professionals and patients are the primary factor restricting the use of online disease management and online compliance programs by healthcare professionals. Reasons to order your copy: * Understand trends in Internet and broadband adoption in the US, Western Europe and Japan * Identify which Internet-enabled disease management services, compliance tools and telemedicine ("long distance" medicine) Using a videoconferencing link to a large medical center in order that rural health care facilities can perform diagnosis and treatment. A specialist can monitor the patient remotely taking cues from the general practitioner or nurse who is actually examining applications are most in demand * Target physicians and consumers through the Internet-enabled technologies they are most likely to be using on a daily basis CATALYST SUMMARY METHODOLOGY ANALYSIS Increased access to Internet-enabled technologies will contribute exponentially ex·po·nen·tial adj. 1.

Consumers demands for personally relevant medical information and services will continue to drive an increase in both the quantity and quality of Internet-enabled healthcare applications Access to broadband-enabled ICT expands within key pharmaceutical markets An opportunity exists to expand consumers' use of mobile solutions, disease management tools and compliance tools Expand the use of mobile phones for healthcare-related activities Provide consumers with better access to disease management and compliance tools through all Internet-enabled platforms Consumers have little experience with telemedicine services, but would be willing to adopt them should the prove to provide access to more comprehensive care Physicians will struggle to balance consumers demands for ICT with more practical issues of cost and feasibility Broadband Internet See broadband. allows physicians to adopt complex, data-rich applications Providing patients with better care using online channels Low awareness is the most significant barrier to widespread adoption of online disease management and compliance tools KEY TRENDS Internet Access Online disease management and compliance tools Telemedicine applications and services APPENDIX List of Figures Definitions and Abbreviations References Extended methodology eHealth Physician Insight Survey 2005 eHealth Consumer Insight Survey 2005 Ask the analyst List of Figures For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c47646 Source: Datamonitor |
