Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the present conditions of a hospital homepage from a citizen’s view point. We surveyed homepages of 476 hospitals and 1,764 clinics located at Hokkaido. There are five endpoints―performance of medical care, frequency of update, explanation about radiology examinations, claim investigation, doctor’s profile, subjective estimate of impression. We analyzed the differences from regionality and scale, and a relationship between each end points and subjective estimate with the use of quantification theory 2. As a result, the regionality analysis for hospitals showed that there were significant differences between Sapporo and Asahikawa and the other area. Similarly, the scale analysis shows that there were significant differences at the point of frequency of update and explanation about radiology examination. The results of the use of quantification theory 2 showed that doctor profile affect subjective estimate. In the analysis for clinics, there are significant differences between Sapporo and Asahikawa, and Hakodate.
