Doctor Communication

In tandem with internet development and widespread social media use, e-health communities have begun to emerge in recent years. These communities allow doctors to access forums anywhere, anytime, seek or exchange medical information online, find literature, and so on. This is convenient and can solve some problems for doctors while also promoting doctor communication. This study collected and collated 102 doctors in the “Lilac Forum” and used social network tools to quantify the overall network density, centrality, core–periphery structure, and structural hole indicators of doctors’ information exchange from a social-capital perspective. The results showed that the frequency of interaction between doctors differed because of differences in the identities and participation of doctors in the e-health community. The density of the doctors’ information dissemination network (0.228) and network cohesion (0.610) were relatively high. Thus, the doctors were more closely connected, and information was easily spread. At the same time, doctors with higher professional titles had obvious location characteristics, familiarity and trust, and high levels of reciprocity. They could obtain redundant information in the network and were more likely to influence the behavior of other doctors. This study’s findings provide support for improving information exchange among doctors in e-health communities and improving the service levels of the platforms.

Zusammenfassung Die Langzeitverfügbarkeit von Forschungsergebnissen und der dafür häufig notwendige langfristige Erhalt der Lauffähigkeit von Software ist eine gemeinschaftliche Herausforderung für Forschung, Softwareentwicklung und Gedächtnisinstitutionen. Es stehen verschiedene Maßnahmen wie Standardisierung, Emulation oder auch die Weiterentwicklung durch Open-Source-Communities zur Verfügung, die in unterschiedlichen Kontexten für unterschiedliche Arten von Software zum Einsatz kommen können.
