Abstract

Nowadays, medical services can be performed through online. This entails a lot of human resources and different healthcare information. The rapid changes in the healthcare environment through web should be accounted so that the information would be maximally useful. However, medical information acquired online is not regulated; it is not favorable to users because it creates doubts to its reliability and benefits. This study focuses on the online medical information. It gives help to the users through its accessibility" comprehensiveness, continuity and efficiency. An empirical analysis of research model using PLS(partial least squares) shows that the quality of medical information influences the reliability and benefit of the related medical information. If users recognize medical information to be reliable and beneficial, their intention to use the medical information becomes strong.
