A recent University of Phoenix® College of Health Professions survey found that nearly two-thirds (59 percent) of registered voters are turning to online health resources, such as WebMD, as a substitute for primary healthcare.1 Although WebMD and other resources like it seem to be preferred by patients, the survey shows other healthcare technologies are not being embraced at a higher rate. Only a quarter of Americans who have access to health technology use resources like e-prescription filing services (26 percent), online health records (25 percent) and online appointment booking services (15 percent).
