The percentage of GPs who say they are satisfied with the way they use technology in their patient-oriented work continues to rise, although they also acknowledge there are a number of opportunities for greater use of technology, such as generating more electronic referrals, the annual RACGP survey has found.

Eighty per cent of GPs surveyed in 2017 say they are satisfied with the way they use technology up from 71 per cent in 2016 and 67 per cent the previous year.
