Information technology selection process and perceived impacts in physician practices

The objective of this research was to identify the relationships between the selection process and the perceived impacts of information technology on the physician's practice. A telephone survey was conducted with office representatives of 407 physician practices in Oregon. The descriptive results are presented in this summary paper. Relationships were identified between the selection process and the perceived impacts of the software on the practice. These relationships are not directly presented in this paper but are summarized and recommendations are made to physician practices for selecting software.
