The average duration of computer use (for each actual use in the phase of consultation) is shown on aggregate and by type of use within each phase under each GP. The overall usage (for all consultations) is shown in the last three columns. The overall computer use is broken down for each GP: in each cell, the figures in brackets denote (consultations where computer used and number of bouts of use); the average use time in seconds is placed to the right. There were 7 consultations out of 112 where there was no computer use during the patient consultation (compared with Table 3)
