This study aims at informing about the state of the art of the use of ICT in the health actor. A survey has been conducted among different health professionals who have a private practice, which means that they practice at least in part in their own premises or offer home visits to their patients. The survey addresses questions on working conditions, and characteristics of the health professionals, the availability of computer, internet and other ICT infrastructure, as well as on their use and the satisfaction with the ICT equipment available. Other topics include the use of electronic health records and the exchange of medical patient data.
