“…Regarding drug therapy the approach has usually been limited to one particular disease [4-7]. Diabetes has been extensively studied and thoroughly analyzed also from a systems perspective [8]. Several attempts have been made to develop a general model for medical guidelines, which could be used also for the development of computer programs [9-12].…”

Background: Drug therapy has become increasingly efficient, with more drugs available for treatment of an ever-growing number of conditions. Yet, drug use is reported to be sub optimal in several aspects, such as dosage, patient's adherence and outcome of therapy. The aim of the current study was to investigate the possibility to optimize drug therapy using computer programs, available on the Internet.

Background We set out to investigate the feasibility of incorporating a computer-tailored health behaviour program into routine care in a group of primary care practices in Rhode Island. Methods Two existing computer programs (physical activity, smoking) that tailored text and graphical feedback to survey responses were combined and adapted for use in primary care directly by patients. Ten primary care practices were recruited and worked closely with project staff to develop a practice-specific plan for incorporating the program into the workflow and office routine. Feasibility was measured by the percentage of patients who used the program during the day of their visit. Results Only one of the ten offices was able to successfully incorporate the program into their office workflow and delivery of routine care. The main categories of barriers to incorporating the computer program into routine care included:the program was viewed overall as inconsistent with practice workflow the staff was inexperienced with the program technical problems with the computer and/or printer Incorporating computer-tailored health behaviour communications 41
