Abstract

A small-scale questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study was conducted to gauge knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding use of digitalized data to manage patients with diabetes in ten family physicians working as freelance consultants in Rawalpindi / Islamabad. The Study was done in collaboration with University of Cumbria United Kingdom (UK) for a period of six months. The total sample size comprised of ten respondents. The data was consolidated and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Analysis was descriptive in nature. A vast majority of respondents (80%) replied that they were aware of the importance of digitalized data while one (10%) said that they were not aware and one (10%) responded that they were somewhat aware. It is imperative that the health system be improved in Pakistan scientifically through use of digitalized data in clinical medicine.
