What this trial studies
This project aims to enhance the integration of digital processes, such as e-prescriptions, in medical and dental practices by gathering insights from healthcare professionals. An online questionnaire will be utilized to collect data on their experiences and perceptions regarding the implementation of these digital tools. The study will be conducted in two phases, in 2023 and 2024, to assess changes over time and provide feedback to health authorities for optimizing digital processes in healthcare.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthcare professionals, particularly medical assistants and dental practitioners, who are involved in the implementation of digital processes.
Not a fit: Patients who are not healthcare professionals or those who do not engage with digital processes in their practice may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved digital integration in healthcare, enhancing efficiency and patient safety.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on digital integration in healthcare, this specific approach focusing on medical assistants' perceptions is relatively novel.
