  "description": "Background\n          The aim of this study was to examine the acceptability of point of care computerized prompts to improve health services delivery among a sample of primary care patients.\n        \n        \n          Methods\n          Primary data collection. Cross-sectional survey. Patients were surveyed after their visit with a primary care provider. Data were obtained from patients of ten community-based primary care practices in the spring of 2001.\n        \n        \n          Results\n          Almost all patients reported that they would support using a computer before each visit to prompt their doctor to: \"do health screening tests\" (92%), \"counsel about health behaviors (like diet and exercise)\" (92%) and \"change treatments for health conditions\" (86%). In multivariate testing, the only variable that was associated with acceptability of the point of care computerized prompts was patient's confidence in their ability to answer questions about their health using a computer (beta = 0.39, p = .001). Concerns about data security were expressed by 36.3% of subjects, but were not related to acceptability of the prompts.\n        \n        \n          Conclusions\n          Support for using computers to generate point of care prompts to improve quality-oriented processes of care was high in our sample, but may be contingent on patients feeling familiar with their personal medical history.",
