Application of fever clinic online consultation for Internet-based hospitals in epidemic prevention and control / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Based on the transmission characteristics of COVID-19, Internet-based hospitals can effectively cut off its transmission route via online consulting service. The hospital, leveraging the UTAUT model and DST theory, and advantages of Internet-based hospitals, is deploying step by step such four modules, as " pre-hospital screening" , " patient acceptance" , " auxiliary diagnosis and treatment" , and " prevention and control linkage" . These efforts ultimately contribute to an innovative prevention and control pattern against COVID-19 for Internet-based hospitals and based on the UTAUT-DST model. This practice proves an initial success, and provides references for other Internet-based hospitals in epidemic control.
