Background

Concern has been raised that note-taking and especially PC based note-taking can interfere with the communication process in medical interviews.  This concern is often raised by clinicians themselves but less is known about how patients perceive the interview process.

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate patient opinion regarding the use of a patient-centered interview approach combined with PC-based note taking during diagnostic vestibular assessments.
