title: [Impact of an on-line course on the level of knowledge of the OMI-AP program for primary care doctors].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the impact of an online course on the level of knowledge of the OMI-AP (Computerised Medical Office in Primary Care) program in medical personnel.
  
  
  METHODS
  Improvement cycle to optimize the knowledge and use of OMI-AP by family physicians in the Murcia Health Service. A total of 55 family physicians who completed an on-line course on OMI-AP were included. Advanced level training on the OMI-AP was given over a 2 month period via 9 modules. The measurements made were performed in two phases: 1st) A questionnaire on the level of knowledge of OMI-AP (10 questions) was completed one week before the students enrolled in the course. 2nd) The same questionnaire was used one week after completing the course.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average score of the questionnaire was 5.31 points before the completion of the course and 7.70 points after the completion of the course (P < 05). In 9 of the 10 questions analysed the percentage of correct answers significantly improved after the completion of the course.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The delivery of the on-line OMI-AP course for doctors has led to a significant improvement in the level of knowledge of the program, essential for the daily practice of family physicians in our health service. On-line training greatly facilitates the training of professionals by enabling time management according to student needs.
