Physicians and hospitals are warming up to symptom checkers as communication tool | Pharma: Trends in e-detailing | Scoop.it
Physicians and hospitals are using symptom checkers to improve communication and engagement with patients.

 

“Now more health-care providers are turning the tables, steering patients to new and improved computerized symptom-checkers that make it easier for them to get reliable information about possible diagnoses, research their condition and even connect directly to a doctor. Doctors are adding these tools to their websites and incorporating them into electronic medical records, encouraging patients to use them before office visits to save time and make consultations more productive.”
