This paper presents a pilot study of benefits derived from information and communications technology (ICT) adoption and use in medical practices in regional Australia. The study involved 122 regional medical practitioners. The results show that like the more general small businesssector, the perception of certain benefits is associated with the size of the practice (in terms of employee levels) and/ or the gender of the respondent practitioner.
