With the continuous advancement of internet technology and the improvement of internet literacy among the general population, the concept of online-offline integration in internet hospitals has gradually gained acceptance and has been applied and developed both domestically and internationally. In thoracic surgery, the applicability of this model lies in enhancing efficiency and delivering comprehensive, diversified, and personalized medical services to address complex and severe conditions. However, challenges such as hardware limitations and diagnostic/treatment risks persist during the implementation of internet hospitals. Through future in-depth and localized research, the online-offline integration of internet hospitals is expected to undergo further development and refinement. This progress will facilitate its integration into clinical practice in thoracic surgery, ultimately providing patients with improved medical care services.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the quality of health information on diabetes in Chinese internet, so as to understand the current status of diabetes network health information, and provide reference for improving and enriching the three-level prevention of diabetes.MethodsThe three most common Chinese search engines: Baidu, Sogou and Haosou Search were searched with the keywords " diabetes” and " diabetes treatment”, using the health information evaluation tool DISCERN score to evaluate the quality of the information, and the integrity and accuracy of information content were evaluated with reference to the " Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China (2017 Edition)” issued by the Chinese Diabetes Society of Chinese Medical Association.ResultsA total of 300 links were accessed and included in 17 websites. The DISCERN review showed that only 1 item's average score exceeded 3 points. According to website content score, the excellent part accounted for 11.7%, the good part accounted for 35.2%, the fair part accounted for 47.1%, and the poor part accounted for 5.8%. 50% of websites contained error messages, and the subject of the most error-prone information was diagnosis and treatment. There was a positive correlation between the content score and the DSCERN score in the credibility score and the verbosity score (r=0.71, 0.73, P<0.001). The websites were evaluated by attributes, and the quality evaluation of diabetes-related information in some general-purpose websites was higher than that of diabetes specialist websites.ConclusionsThe quality of diabetes health information on Chinese websites is insufficient. It is necessary for China to establish a web-based information platform for diabetes. China has not yet formed a unified network health information evaluation standard in line with its national conditions. The key to solving the problem lies in the collaboration between professional health personnel and website developers.
In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer has risen significantly, making it the third most common malignant tumor among women in China. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the diagnosis and treatment models of thyroid nodules are undergoing profound changes. By efficiently processing massive amounts of data, providing precise analysis and personalized suggestions, artificial intelligence has significantly promoted the integrated development of thyroid cancer in preoperative diagnosis, surgical navigation, surgical methods and postoperative management, thus facilitating the realization of “precision medicine and smart medicine” in thyroid surgery. This article focuses on the current development status of the “Internet+thyroid” model and looks forward to its future development.
Objective To understand the current situation of eHealth literacy of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and analyze the influencing factors to improve the eHealth literacy of MHD patients. Methods Using cross-sectional survey method, MHD patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were selected as the subjects between February and April 2022. eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) was used to investigate the status of eHealth literacy, and the influencing factors of MHD patients were analyzed. Results A total of 194 MHD patients were investigated. The total eHEALS score of MHD patients was 24.55±9.14. The results of generalized linear regression showed that education level, medical payment method, age, frequency of internet forums, interest in internet health knowledge search, and Baidu search engine (a common channel for searching disease information online) were the influencing factors of MHD patients’ electronic health literacy. Conclusion The electronic health literacy level of MHD patients is low, so renal medical staff should pay attention to the electronic health literacy of MHD patients and develop targeted interventions to help patients better manage their own health problems.
Objective To explore the construction and application of a new follow-up visit model in the context of Internet hospital consultation, aiming to create a novel follow-up visit model that integrates precise identification of follow-up patients, messages of follow-up reminders, online free follow-up visits, and promotional activities. Methods Satisfaction surveys were conducted among outpatient patients and doctors at Jintang County First People’s Hospital from July 2023 to June 2024. Patients and doctors were divided into two groups based on whether the online free follow-up visit program had been implemented: the pre-implementation group (July to December 2023) and the post-implementation group (January to June 2024). The satisfaction levels of patients and doctors before and after the implementation were compared and analyzed. Results A total of 17 831 patient visits and 801 doctor visits were included. Since its launch, WeChat messages had been pushed to all outpatient patients, and both WeChat and SMS messages had been pushed to patients in surgical departments. The average waiting time for outpatient visits in January-June 2024 was shortened by 2 minutes compared with the same period last year (January-June 2023). The hospital’s Case Mix Index increased by 3.7%, and the surgical volume increased by 7.5%. After the launch of the Internet hospital, both patient and doctor satisfaction improved. Conclusion The new follow-up visit model of the Internet hospital represents an important initiative in the digital transformation of hospitals and holds value and significance for promotion in more county-level medical institutions.
With the rapid development of information science and technology, the development of internet medical service is irresistible, forming a new situation of digital ecological environment of medical cloud service. However, reform and innovation of medical service mode have brought many problems and challenges to the elderly with low level of information literacy and difficult operation of information and intelligent applications on mobile phones, forming a “digital gap” with intelligent medicine. This paper analyzes the status quo of the digital divide in the elderly group, and classifies the elderly according to the pain and difficulty of the elderly wisdom, and then implements a series of online and offline aging adaptation to build a harmonious and humanistic care Internet plus medical service ecosystem for the elderly. The project is closely related to the physical and psychological transformation of the elderly, and can be used for reference.
Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rate in China. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to improving the survival rate and reducing the mortality rate for lung cancer patients. This article introduces the integrated management model for patients with pulmonary nodules/lung cancer developed by West China Hospital of Sichuan University based on “internet plus” and health service team of treatment, nursing, and care. The Integrated Care Management Center has established a multidisciplinary team, using internet platforms and artificial intelligence tools to develop a whole life cycle health service system for patients with pulmonary nodules/lung cancer, which is from the screening of high-risk population for lung cancer, the intelligent risk stratification and follow-up management of pulmonary nodules, the subsequent standardized diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer and comorbidity management, until the patient’s demise. After the implementation of this model, the malignancy rate in surgically treated patients with pulmonary nodules reached 85.08%, and the patient satisfaction score was 95.76. This model provides a new idea and reference for the innovation of chronic disease service model and the management of pulmonary nodules and lung cancer.
