Given the extensive use of the Internet for health information, Web-based health promotion interventions are widely perceived as an effective communication channel. The authors conducted this study to determine use of a Web-based intervention intended to improve colorectal cancer screening in a population of women who are at average risk and noncompliant to current screening recommendations. The study was a randomized controlled trial designed to compare the effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening educational materials delivered using the Internet versus a printed format. In 3 years, 391 women seen for routine obstetrics/gynecology follow-up at 2 academic centers provided relevant survey information. Of these, 130 were randomized to the Web intervention.

The lack of patient engagement and clinical inertia both contribute to suboptimal diabetes care. However, both obstacles are amenable to informatics- and Internet-based interventions. The use of electronic medical records (EMRs) is now established as being useful for improving diabetes care. Intelligent records that integrate computerized decision-support systems are now able to recommend care protocols tailored to risk levels. Web-based personal health record (PHR) systems, shared with healthcare providers, could also provide added value by promoting self-management of the behaviours related to diabetes. These Web-based programmes include patients’ access to EMRs, uploading of glucose monitoring results, a glucose diary, secure e-mail with providers, manual or automated feedback on blood glucose readings and other risk factors, an educational website, and an online diary for entering personal information on exercise, diet and medication.

“Internet a dans le domaine de la santé, trouvé toute son efficacité, auprès de ceux qui au départ n’avaient pas ou peu de moyens de s’informer sur un traitement, des symptômes, ou plus généralement concernant l’actualité médicale.
Par le biais des espaces de discussions que peuvent être les forums ou les blogs, le web et vite devenu le « compagnon » du grand public pour les questions de santé.
En effet, 7 jours sur 7, 24 heures sur 24, il permet à chacun de répondre à un manque d’information, à une inquiétude liée à l’accompagnement d’un proche, ou même pour trouver quelque réconfort face à une maladie.
Puis de la recherche d’information, on est vite passé au besoin de s’exprimer, d’échanger ses craintes et ses espoirs, voir ses opinions sur les traitements prescrits et les diagnostics.”

“A financial study evaluating how the use of health information exchanges (HIEs) by emergency physicians affects patient management has confirmed that millions of dollars could be saved if physicians can get immediate access to patients’ medical records, according to a November 4 article in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.

“Many of the times it is very difficult to understand or get it right with the affordability of EMR’s. Is it only related with the cost??? Many will say- yes, because in many cases only the price is seen as a deciding factor, but at the same time it is also very important to understand the numerous benefits associated with it.

BACKGROUND:
In the childbearing period women use the internet both to seek information and as an important source of communication. For women with type 1 diabetes, pregnancy and early motherhood constitute a more complex situation than for women in general. This implies need for support from various professionals and a way of bridging any discontinuity in care would be to develop a website providing complementary social support and information. The objective of this study was to explore internet use, needs, and expectations regarding web-based information and communication in childbearing women with type 1 diabetes.

“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a natural alignment with the data and reach of a national, consolidated, wed-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. The FDA has the need to collect data “from the field” in their ongoing monitoring of drugs and devices post-release into the market. It also it has the need to have a focused distribution portal for their alerts and warnings.

Objective
With the advent of personal health records and other patient-focused health technologies, there is a growing need to better understand factors that contribute to acceptance and use of such innovations. In this study, we employed the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology as the basis for determining what predicts patients’ acceptance (measured by behavioral intention) and perceived effective use of a web-based, interactive self-management innovation among home care patients.

This is a technological review paper focussed on identifying both the research challenges and opportunities for further investigation arising from emerging technologies, and it does not aim to propose any recommendation or standard. It is focussed on blind and partially sighted World Wide Web (Web) users along with others who use assistive technologies. The Web is a fast moving interdisciplinary domain in which new technologies, techniques and research is in perpetual development. It is often difficult to maintain a holistic view of new developments within the multiple domains which together make up the Web.
