Now in its third year, Accenture’s multi-country Doctors Survey
takes an in-depth look at healthcare IT as it relates to quality of
care, and patient and physician engagement.
The 2015 global study was fielded in six countries: Australia, Brazil,
England, Norway, Singapore, and the US.
This report includes findings for all six countries. Trended data for
2012 are included where applicable for Australia, England,
Singapore, and the US. Trended data are not available for Brazil and
Norway, as this is the first year collecting data in these countries.

With whom did Accenture work to conduct the quantitative survey?
• Accenture worked with Nielsen Consumer Insights (formerly Harris Interactive), who was responsible for the entire project including recruitment and screening of doctors from a variety of trusted panel partners located in each country.
What kinds of doctors/doctors were surveyed?
• Primary care and secondary/specialist doctors in Australia, Brazil, England, Norway, Singapore, and the US, who have registered to take part in market research. All work on a full time basis in a mix of private and public practice settings.
• Primary care doctors include general and family medicine practitioners. Secondary care doctors include specialists in a number of fields including surgery, neurology, endocrinology, rheumatology, oncology and cardiology.
How did Accenture recruit doctors for the study?
• Doctors were contacted through a web mail out, whereby they were able to follow a unique link to the survey and complete it anonymously. To maximize participation up to two email reminders were sent. Given some cultural nuances in Singapore, doctors (approximately one-third) were recruited via phone and could request assistance to complete the survey in their office, on a tablet, provided by an interviewer. The interviewer only “assisted” if the doctors had (technical) questions while completing the survey.

Are we confident in the quality of the respondents and that they meet the study criteria?
• All doctors’ details are double verified when they join the panel and were rescreened for this
study to ensure participant quality.
What did we do to ensure balance and a representative sample across regions, specialties,
etc.?
• Regular quota updates ensured that all subsequent mail outs and recruitment contacts were
targeted to the relevant demographic sectors in order to maintain a fair and representative
split of geographies, settings and specialties.
Were the data weighted?
• Data for the US were weighted by years in practice by gender, region and specialty to be
representative of doctors in the US. Data for Australia, Brazil, England and Norway were
weighted by age, gender and specialty to be representative of the physician population in
each country. Data for Singapore were not weighted as information about the physician
population was not available. Questions trended from 2011 (Q705, Q805), however, were not
weighted.
