J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;70(9):1572-6.

To highlight clinical scenarios and healthcare practitioners' difficulties where computer applications can help in multimorbidity management. The cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2017 to January 2019 in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised local physicians/practitioners. Data was collected using a self-generated questionnaire which was distributed among the subjects. It identified four problems as most commonly faced: treatment/dose management, time management, forgetting to ask necessary questions about disease, and 'others', such as bad handwriting errors and ethical issues. Data was analysed using SPSS 17. Of the 53 subjects, 33(62%) marked problems related to treatment management, 35(66%) marked problems related to shortage of time, 34(64%) marked those related to difficulty in asking relevant questions about disease, 15(28%) marked the 'other' option. Computer technologies are significantly helpful in managing the problems of treating multimorbidity by adopting standard database.
