Topics included: Healthcare reform Primary care physician interactions Mobile messaging Smart phones Tag reader Electronic medical records Communication preferences and interest in new information sources Websites visited Hospital and health plan choice influencers Price shopping Sleep studies Preventive screening guidelines Health insurance Second opinions Methodology  A national online survey was conducted among 400 heads of household, 21 or older who are most responsible for healthcare decisions for the household. The interviewing was conducted from October 19-26, 2010. The sample frame used was e-Rewards’ online consumer panel.
