- Abstract
- A future shortage of physicians, especially in general practice, will result in an increasing workload for health care providers as a whole. Therefore, it is important to optimize patient-encounter processes to increase time efficiency related to visits. Utilizing digital tools to record patients' medical histories prior to a consultation offers great potential to achieve this goal. The collected information can be stored into the practice's electronic medical record, allowing for the general practitioner to review structured information of the patients' complaints and related medical history beforehand, thereby saving time during the encounter. However, the low usability of new digital developments in this setting often hinders implementation.
