The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the urgent need for healthcare entities to develop resilient strategies to cope with disruptions caused by the pandemic. This study focuses on the digital resilience of certified physicians who adopted an online healthcare community (OHC) to acquire patients and conduct telemedicine services during the pandemic. We synthesize the resilience literature and identify two effects of digital resilience—the resistance effect and the recovery effect. We use a proprietary dataset that matches online and offline data sources to study the digital resilience of physicians. A difference-in-differences (DID) analysis shows that physicians who adopted an OHC had strong resistance and recovery effects during the pandemic. Remarkably, after the COVID-19 outbreak, these physicians had 35.0% less reduction in medical consultations in the immediate period and 31.0% more bounce-back in the subsequent period as compared to physicians who did not adopt the OHC. We further analyze the sources of physicians’ digital resilience by distinguishing between new and existing patients from both online and offline channels. Our subgroup analysis shows that, in general, digital resilience is more pronounced when physicians have a higher online reputation rating or have more positive interactions with patients on the OHC platform, providing further support for the mechanisms underlying digital resilience. Our research has significant theoretical and managerial implications beyond the context of the pandemic.

了解 COVID-19 大流行期间医生的数字弹性:一项实证研究

COVID-19 大流行凸显了医疗保健实体迫切需要制定有弹性的策略来应对大流行造成的破坏。本研究的重点是在大流行期间采用在线医疗保健社区 (OHC) 获取患者并开展远程医疗服务的认证医生的数字弹性。我们综合了复原力文献,确定了数字复原力的两种效应——抵抗效应和恢复效应。我们使用匹配在线和离线数据源的专有数据集来研究医生的数字弹性。差分(DID)分析表明,采用 OHC 的医生在大流行期间具有很强的抵抗力和恢复效果。值得注意的是,在 COVID-19 爆发后,这些医生有 35 人。与未采用 OHC 的医生相比,近期的医疗咨询减少了 0%,随后的反弹增加了 31.0%。我们通过区分线上和线下渠道的新患者和现有患者,进一步分析了医生数字弹性的来源。我们的亚组分析表明,一般而言,当医生具有更高的在线声誉评级或在 OHC 平台上与患者进行更积极的互动时,数字弹性会更加明显,从而进一步支持数字弹性的机制。我们的研究具有超越大流行背景的重要理论和管理意义。我们通过区分线上和线下渠道的新患者和现有患者,进一步分析了医生数字弹性的来源。我们的亚组分析表明,一般而言,当医生具有更高的在线声誉评级或在 OHC 平台上与患者进行更积极的互动时,数字弹性会更加明显,从而进一步支持数字弹性的机制。我们的研究具有超越大流行背景的重要理论和管理意义。我们通过区分线上和线下渠道的新患者和现有患者,进一步分析了医生数字弹性的来源。我们的亚组分析表明,一般而言,当医生具有更高的在线声誉评级或在 OHC 平台上与患者进行更积极的互动时,数字弹性会更加明显,从而进一步支持数字弹性的机制。我们的研究具有超越大流行背景的重要理论和管理意义。当医生在 OHC 平台上具有更高的在线声誉评级或与患者进行更积极的互动时,数字弹性会更加明显,从而为数字弹性的机制提供进一步的支持。我们的研究具有超越大流行背景的重要理论和管理意义。当医生在 OHC 平台上具有更高的在线声誉评级或与患者进行更积极的互动时,数字弹性会更加明显,从而为数字弹性的机制提供进一步的支持。我们的研究具有超越大流行背景的重要理论和管理意义。
