Objective To investigate the satisfaction of inpatients with telemedicine services,further improve their medical experience,and promote the quality of telemedicine services in Xinjiang region.Methods A total of 1 446 inpatients were randomly selected from 92 public hospitals in 14 prefectures and au-tonomous prefectures of Xinjiang.A self-designed electronic questionnaire was used to conduct a satisfaction survey among patients who received telemedicine services.Results The overall satisfaction rate of inpatients receiving telemedicine services in Xinjiang region was relatively high(94.16%),and the audience tended to be younger(patients under 50 years old accounted for 79.19%).The main reason for 72.68%of patients choo-sing telemedicine services was to reduce medical costs,rather than the level of expertise provided by remote service specialists.After receiving telemedicine services,93.50%of patients had increased confidence in subse-quent treatments,and 85.96%of patients believed that the treatment effect had been significantly improved.Conclusion Currently,the satisfaction with telemedicine services among inpatients in Xinjiang region is rela-tively high,but there exists a mismatch between telemedicine service capabilities and patient satisfaction.Therefore,it is necessary to expand the scope of telemedicine services,strengthen science popularization and promotion,and enhance patients'experience with diagnosis and treatment.
