Summary:Despite the fact that the physician's involvement with computer operations has dramatically increased with automation in the health care industry, few studies have focused on the physician's experiences with and reactions to computers. This paper reports on these dimensions for physicians and their medical supervisors who have begun to use a computerized drug review system. Their attitudes and opinions are assessed towards this system and more generally towards the use of computers in medicine. Clinicians' attitudes towards computers are related to their clinical role and feelings about the working milieu. This report presents preliminary data of the study in terms of the frequency distribution of responses.
