Doctors think that iPhones make them look more professional
September 15, 2008 by James
According to recently released survey results, around 39% of doctors think that using an iPhone while diagnosing their patients will make them seem more competent in their patients’ eyes.
Around 39% of the Epocrates medical program for iPhone users said that they’ve received “admiration for using the “latest cool technology””
According to other findings reported by more than 300 doctors that participated in this survey:
* Nearly 80 percent report using Epocrates during patient visits and sharing drug safety information with their patients
* Patient reaction is positive with the majority feeling more confident their provider is confirming clinical information, and a subset (39 percent) reports receiving admiration for using the “latest cool technology”
* More than 70 percent of physicians report using Epocrates at least once per day, and half plan to use it more in the future. In addition, 90 percent believe all healthcare professionals should use a clinical reference, such as Epocrates
It is just yet another show of force that showcases how much the iPhone could expand into specialist niches. One can currently get Epocrates via the AppStore while it is also available in the form of an online webapp.
