[Suitability of Internet Medical Services of Hospitals from the Perspective of Suppliers].

Objective To investigate the suitable services of telemedicine at present and the future from the perspective of medical service supplier,clarify the challenges in the development of telemedicine services at present,and provide evidence-based suggestions for improving the quality of telemedicine services. Methods A questionnaire was developed through literature review for the survey of telemedicine services from the perspective of service providers.From January to June in 2020,electronic questionnaires were collected from volunteers.The data were collated and analyzed by Excel 2010 and SPSS 21.0. Results A total of 614 questionnaires were distributed,and 582 effective questionnaires were collected,which showed an effective rate of 94.79%.The participants of this study were mainly young healthcare workers,including doctors,nurses,technicians,and medical students.Among them,68.73% expressed concern to telemedicine services-related work,and more than 50% only had a basic understanding of the related work.The top five developable telemedicine/healthcare services were health management,online consultation,disease re-examination,disease screening,and difficult disease consultation,which were basically consistent with the services suitable for future development. Conclusions Healthcare workers have a high degree of recognition to the development of telemedicine services,while their understanding of the related technologies remains to be improved.The available telemedicine services focus on online consultation,difficult disease consultation,and disease re-examination,while the complicated medical services need to be improved.In the future,efforts should be made to continuously improve the information construction level and narrow the regional gap of medical services,so as to promote the continuous improvement and the coordinated development of medical services between regions.
