Introduction to the report:
Team-based teleconsultation is recently embraced by countries worldwide to better serve patients and to reduce the burden of senior physicians. The success of this new practice hinges on effective physician-patient interaction. In this research, we conceptualize team leaders’ and members’ actions toward patient interaction. We then incorporate social support lens to propose the influencing mechanisms of these actions on patients’ continuous engagement in teleconsultation. We utilize deep learning and rule-based methods to identify physicians’ support from large unstructured text information. This research is expected to contribute to the literature on online health IT and social support. It also offers practical insights to help better manage team-based teleconsultation.
