The computer is an integral part of a clinical office examination room. How a
physician simultaneously uses the computer and interacts with patients will
either enhance or deter patient engagement in areas of health maintenance and
rehabilitation. With the growing emphasis on patient-centered care and management
of chronic health conditions, patient engagement plays an ever-increasing role in
U.S. health care. This paper reviews and discusses the 4 broad factors that
influence the traditional physician-patient examination room interaction:
physician computer/technology skills and dexterity, verbal and nonverbal
communication, design and spatial arrangement, and hardware considerations.
If used effectively, in-room technology will both enhance patient care and engender
a greater degree of patient trust in their provider.
