Health professionals, email use and URL prescription

April 12, 2010

Lately, I have been checking and reading some scientific papers about health communication from:

The aim is to write a paper based on the presentation done with Michael Hardey:

The purpose of this paper is  to identify how health professionals view public use of the Internet and whether new forms of communication are emerging with the following objectives:

  • To identify the utilisation, experience, expertise, barriers and expectations that doctors, nurses and community pharmacists have with the Internet and the email.
  • To identify the experience and expectations that doctors, nurses and community pharmacists have with patients using the Internet.
  • To identify factors that can enhance the integration of the recommendation of health information available on the Internet and the email within the health professional / patients relationship.

Any reference, suggestion, recommendation… about the presentation will be appreciated.
