ABSTRACT
To analyze the associated factors of signing behavior of the smart medical service model in Hangzhou, 500 residents aged 18 years and older who signed the smart medical service and 500 unsigned residents were randomly selected from 5 urban districts of Hangzhou city from 19 to 26, July 2016. The social-demographic characteristics, chronic disease, health-seeking behavior, kinds of medical insurance were investigated by face-to-face interview. The results showed that there were significant differences in educational level, self-rated health status, chronic disease, seeking behavior and type of medical insurance, while there were no significant differences in gender and age between the signed group and the non-signed group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that residents with higher education level (OR=1.226, 95%CI: 1.118-1.344, P<0.01) and having more chronic diseases (OR=1.854, 95%CI: 1.524-2.257, P<0.01) preferred to sign the service contract. The main reasons for unwillingness of signing contract were " the service was not suitable for me" (17.0%, 61/359), "I didn′t know the specific content of the service" (16.7%,60/359), "the signing procedure was complicated" (15.0%, 54/359). In conclusion, different communication strategies should be adopted considering residents with different educational level and chronic diseases. And delivery of detailed information, simplification of signing process will promote to popularize this smart medical service.
