Indicators such as time of visit, location of visit, doctor′s online activity, doctor′s title, doctor′s age, doctor′s gender, and disease type were subjected to chi-square test and logistic regression analysis to clarify the impact of different indicators on online medical treatment from willingness to behavior.Results:Of the 66 270 people having a willingness to seek online medical treatment, 39 996 people, accounting for 60.35%, achieved online diagnosis and treatment. Online medical services could break through the constraints of time and space and to promote the patient′s seeking medical treatment online from willingness to behavior in a limited way; Doctor′s title had a non-linear effect on patients′ online medical treatment from willingness to behavior; Doctor′s online activeness significantly promoted online medical treatment from willingness to behavior; Female doctors and middle-aged and young doctors promoted online medical treatment from willingness to behavior; Different types of diseases affected online medical treatment in different ways.Conclusions:Among the factors that affect the patient′s transformation from online medical willingness to behavior, the patient′s enabling resources have a facilitative effect, and need factors have a direct impact.
