Often criticized as slow to adopt new technological advances, more than three-fourths (78%) of physicians said they used the Internet in their practices in 2001, according to a study released July 17 by the American Medical Association (AMA).
In addition, almost half the physicians surveyed said that the World Wide Web has had a “major impact” on the way they practice medicine. About two-thirds of physicians said they went online each day during the five-month survey period in 2001, an increase of 24% since 1997. The length of time doctors spend online each week has also grown to 7.1 hours in 2000 compared with 4.3 hours in 1997. The 2002 AMA Study on Physicians’ Use of the World Wide Web, which interviewed 977 doctors between August and December 2001, is the fourth survey the Chicago-based group has conducted since 1997.
