目標：國外已開始注重醫療網站品質之制定及相關研究，國內此方面之研究相當少。本研究之目的為(1)建立醫療網站之評鑑指標(2)運用評鑑指標評核健康醫療網站(3)比較不同類別健康醫療網站之差異性。方法：自2002年2月至2002年6月從網路上搜尋引擎，共收集了1155個臺灣地區民眾使用之繁體中文為介面之健康醫療網站；接著由二位評核人員共評核了900個醫療網站，分為六大類：(1)醫療機構(2)學術機關(3)政府機關(4)組織機構(5)專業人員網站(6)商業性網站，每個醫療網站花費20-30分來評核。結果：以商業性網站為最多有403個，佔44.8%，其次為醫療機構佔21.9%；網站作者以醫療機構及醫護人員居多佔71.1%，其中又以醫師為主約佔34.4%，其他的醫療專業人員如護理人員、藥師、營養師則僅佔少數。本研究中對健康醫療網站之評鑑內容發現醫療網站未針對特定對象設定，內容深度未符合使用者需求及內容欠客觀公正。此外，各類型網站在可及性、作者權威性、內容、設計與架構、連結品質及總分均達到顯著差異。結論：針對研究結果指出以下之建議 (1)應明確說明健康醫療網站之作者群(2)說明健康醫療網站之目的、對象及提供可信之內容 (3)明確界定健康醫療網站之分類與功能(4)減少評鑑健康醫療網站之誤差。

　　　　　Objectives: The authors completed a novel search for medical websites available in Taiwan and generated evaluation criteria and indicators to compare them. Method: Using search engineering, a sample of 1155 sites were collected by traditional a Chinese interface from February 18, 2002 to June 30, 2002. Two raters assessed 900 of these medical websites for the purposes of categorization. The evaluation indicators were established based on the website accessibility, the authority of the author, content, information structure and design, and the quality of links. Results: The 35- item evaluation indicators were developed with the Cronbach掇 of 0.81. Of the 900 medical websites, 44.8% were commercially orientated and 21.9% were medically orientated. As to the authors of the medical websites, 71.1% were either medical institutes, or professionals like medical Doctors. This study found that most medical websites were not designed for specific targets. In addition, their contents were neither intensive nor objective. Conclusions: This study suggests that medical websites in Taiwan are yet to convincingly establish their authority or credibility.
