Objective This study aimed to summarize the characteristics of the Internet hospital services of the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (SAHSYSU), describe diagnosis and treatment patterns in each department, determine SAHSYSU Internet hospital's role in pandemic control, and explore development strategies in non-pandemic situations. Methods Mixed-methods was used in this study. Qualitative organizational behavior analysis was conducted on hospital meeting records and semi-structured interview records to determine the research analysis indicators. We quantitatively analyzed online consultation record data of SAHSYSU Internet hospital from January to December 2020, and conduct classification analysis on departmental case studies using K-means clustering algorithm. Results 29,944 patient data items were retrieved. Internet hospital services synchronized with COVID-19 pandemic development in China and Guangdong province. The service volume peaked during the period of January to March, which coincided with the height of the pandemic. Out of the total visits, 58.90% were conducted during office hours while 41.10% were conducted during non-office hours. The majority of the patients came from Guangdong (19.67%) and Hubei (9.09%) provinces. The cluster analysis identified three clusters, each with different change rates and magnitudes of change for various departments. Conclusion Internet hospitals complemented conventional medical services, providing crucial medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Internet hospitals are the future trend of medical services and should be improved based on each department's treatment characteristics.
