The internet hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University was put into use on February 16, 2016. At the beginning, 12 departments provided Web-based health services; of these, the general practice department bears nearly 30% Web-based workload. Figure 1 present the work flowchart [11]. The internet hospital provides outpatients with health services in the following 6 aspects: Web-based clinic; laboratory and imaging examination appointment; prescription; routine follow-up; various payments; and referral services. Based on Xie et al [5], the consulting methods included video chat, voice chat, telephone, image, and message. The details of the consultation are provided in a study conducted by Tu et al [4]. Regarding the laboratory and imaging examination appointment, patients could finish the laboratory and imaging examination in 1 day and earlier than the examination booked offline. The prescription is checked by the pharmacist with electronic signature (CA) and then delivered to or fetched by patients from the hospital or pharmacy. Of course, examination and prescription were provided after the fee was paid using many payment methods including Web-based (eg, Alipay and Apple pay), medicare, self-help machine, and others.
Data were collected from the electronic record of the general practice department of the internet hospital between February 2016 and February 2017. Patients logged in the internet hospital with their computer or mobile phone. Overall, 715 consultations were provided.
This study focused on the consultation spectrum and the satisfaction of the internet hospital and analyzed the data from the general practice department. Patients with all health-related conditions could seek health services in the internet hospital, and the satisfaction was high.
In this study, we observed that the majority of outpatients were male and adults. Among patients who are children and older adults, most sought the Web-based health services with the help of families because they could not operate a smartphone or computer. Hence, with regard to these patients, most tended to choose traditional hospitals, resulting in the small number of Web-based patients in the study. In addition, other reasons were as follows. First, not many know about the existence of the internet hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, which we believe could be changed through propaganda and promotional activities, for instance, we provided free consultations over one year. Second, no explicit protocol exists as to what symptoms could be solved online. Thus, some people might be confused and hesitate to see the Web-based doctor. In this study, we found that all health-related problems could be consulted online initially, which is consistent with the role of general practitioners. Because general practice is the primary point of access to health care services, general practitioners play a role in diagnosing and treating illness within the community, promoting better health, preventing disease, certifying disease, monitoring chronic disease, and referring patients requiring specialist services [12].
