To analyze the use and satisfaction of smart healthcare in public hospitals in Hangzhou from the perspective of patient experience.

From August to September 2020, 501 patients from 2 class A tertiary hospitals and 5 community health centers in Hangzhou were randomly selected for questionnaire survey. The survey included their usage and satisfaction of smart healthcare. Based on SERVQUAL theory, the patient satisfaction scale included 5 dimensions of tangibility, reliability, reactivity, assurance, and empathy. The factors affecting patient satisfaction were analyzed by single factor and multi factor analysis.

The average score of patient satisfaction was 3.94±0.56. The satisfaction with tangibility(4.25±0.64), assurance(4.07±0.71)and reactivity(4.02±0.73)was higher, while the scoring of empathy(3.84±0.77)and reliability(3.52±0.70)were lower than the average score. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that patients′ educational level, occupational type and UTAUT score had a certain impact on satisfaction(P<0.05).

The overall satisfaction of patients with smart healthcare in Hangzhou is high. In the future, we should pay more attention to big data security and personal privacy protection, upgrade the smart medical system, improve the hospital Internet platform, empower smart healthcare service system through digital technology, and promote the comprehensive digital transformation of health.
