Sixty percent of adult women said technology that lets physicians send electronic health records to other physicians is very or extremely important to them and/or their family members, according to a new American Academy of Family Physicians survey.
The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, found that 26% of surveyed women said technology that lets physicians send EHRs to other doctors is important to them and/or their family members, 11% said it is somewhat important and 3% said it is not at all important.
Similarly, 50% of respondents said technology that lets doctors send EHRs to pharmacies is very or extremely important to them and/or their family members, and 52% of respondents said technology that lets patients and physicians communicate electronically is very or extremely important.
Results are based on a survey of 1,270 U.S. adult women from March 20 to March 24.
