A large majority (83%) access digital information via computer – but several noted that they use both computer and phone.

More (61%) access the internet at work than at home (37%).

The first resource of choice when seeking information/advice is online search for documents, followed closely by asking a colleague or expert.

!Searching for video or self-instructional material online are the least

likely options to be tapped.

So it follows that articles are most likely to be accessed daily (45%). 30% never participate in discussion forums

50% sometimes take online courses for professional purposes; 27% take them regularly while 25% never have taken an online course

Many people were not familiar with ala, lore, doximity. They rated roughly equally with doximity gaining slightly higher favorability ratings at 37%.

94% feel that being able to collaborate online is important or very important.

The most sought after benefits of a portal are to save time and accelerate work, ease the dissemination of work and deepen interactions/strengthen work

Mobile access is key to many in terms of technical features as is the ability to download resources and work offline.

Top priority for support in doing work is quick access to reference materials on straightforward procedures and best practices, followed

by timely second opinions from experts on challenging cases.

Engaging online would be helpful to: !

“Access the information I require from available sources, as everyone is so busy with their own work”

!“Facilitate better communication in international discussions”

!“Devise tools to evaluate an observer-ship programme”

!“Create a training curriculum for nurse practitioners”
