摘要：A study has been conducted to determine the factors that influence primary care physician selection and the extent to which patients take an active role in the selection process. Public opinion concerning American health care and health insurance industries by study participants has been included and provides insight on the primary care physician selection process. In addition, the role of information technology in this selection process is examined. Written questionnaires consisting of 92 questions were the research tool used for this study. Three hundred eleven questionnaires were returned resulting in a successful response rate of 49 percent. The high response rate provided the necessary data to conduct the study. Ten factors were identified in the physician selection process with “Cosmetics and Emergency Availability” as the most important.
