  • Description:
    Health information technology (HIT) is the use of electronic systems to store, share, and analyze health information and is considered separately from telehealth, which is the use of medical and telecommunications technology to provide direct patient care (1,2). The focus of this report includes three components of HIT: using the Internet to look for health or medical information, communicating with a doctor (but not to receive direct care), and looking up medical test results (3,4). Data on Internet access and HIT use were collected as part of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) from July–December 2022. This report describes the percentage of adults who had Internet access and had used any of the three selected HIT components in the past 12 months by sex, age, and race and Hispanic origin.

    Key findings: Data from the National Health Interview Survey

    ● During July–December 2022, 58.5% of adults used the Internet to look for health or medical information, with a higher prevalence observed among women compared with men.

    ● Using the Internet to communicate with a doctor or doctor’s office was highest among adults ages 30–44 (47.7%), followed by a decline with increasing age.

    ● Among adults who used the Internet to look up medical test results, Asian non-Hispanic and White non-Hispanic adults were more likely to look up medical test results compared

    with American Indian and Alaska Native non-Hispanic, Black non-Hispanic, and Hispanic adults.
