Just like their patients, physicians often turn to search engines for medical information, according to a new survey from MedData Group.
The search engines point them toward a variety of web-based resources to help them make medical decisions. The top five types most-used by physicians include:
- Clinical case studies: 58 percent
- Research reports: 49 percent
- Instructional videos: 33 percent
- Whitepapers: 29 percent
- Webcasts: 20 percent
- Other: 15 percent
- Don't use web-based resources: 10 percent
Survey results are based on responses from 164 physicians collected in April 2014.
