Cross-sectional survey. Patients were surveyed after their visit with a primary care provider. Data were obtained from patients of ten community-based primary care practices in the spring of 2001.\n        \n        \n          Results\n          Almost all patients reported that they would support using a computer before each visit to prompt their doctor to: \"do health screening tests\" (92%), \"counsel about health behaviors (like diet and exercise)\" (92%) and \"change treatments for health conditions\" (86%). In multivariate testing, the only variable that was associated with acceptability of the point of care computerized prompts was patient's confidence in their ability to answer questions about their health using a computer (beta = 0.39, p = .001). Concerns about data security were expressed by 36.3% of subjects, but were not related to acceptability of the prompts.\n        \n        \n          Conclusions\n          Support for using computers to generate point of care prompts to improve quality-oriented processes of care was high in our sample, but may be contingent on patients feeling familiar with their personal medical history.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Visit the original government dataset for complete information, documentation, and data access.", "downloadURL": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC126227/", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "Official Government Data Source"}], "identifier": "https://healthdata.gov/api/views/rxfv-bmt5", "issued": "2025-07-14", "keyword": ["nih", "patient-attitudes", "computerized-prompts", "primary-care", "health-services"], "landingPage": "https://healthdata.gov/d/rxfv-bmt5", "modified": "2025-09-06", "programCode": ["009:034"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institutes of Health"}, "theme": ["NIH"], "title": "Patient attitudes toward using computers to improve health services delivery"}
