Objective To explore the effect of cell phone We Chat appointments in university faculty and staff health checkups. Methods A total of 1 200 faculty and staff randomly selected from those who participated in the 2017-2018 physical examinations in a university in Nanjing were selected as the subjects of this study. The 600 faculty and staff in 2017 served as the control group and those in 2018 served as the observation group. Fac-ulty and staff in the control group participated in the physical examination by means of the university’s coordinated physical examination arrangement

and those in the observation group participated in the physical examination by means of We Chat appointments. The rates of adjustment

ultrasound examination time

blood test time

total time of physical examination

and participation rate of individual physical examination items were compared be-tween the two groups. Results The adjustment rate of the physical examination appointments of the faculty and staff in the observation group was 3.00%

which was lower than that of the control group（18.83%）

and the difference was statistically significant（P <0.05）. The ultrasound examination time

blood test time and total time of physical examination of the observation group were 31.25±3.87 min

20.43±2.81 min and 100.89±9.80 min

respectively

which were shorter than those of the control group（73.56±7.25 min

45.61±3.11 min and 191.5±14.70 min）. The differences were all statistically significant（P<0.05）. The participation rates of chest DR and items in the medicine

surgery

and ENT departments in the observation group were 85.17%

93.50%

69.50%

and 83.17%

respectively

which were higher than those of 80.33%

66.83%

53.67%

and 50.83% in the control group

and the differences were statistically significant（P<0.05）. Conclusion The application of We Chat appointments in faculty and staff physical examinations can reduce the adjustment rate of appointment

shorten the time of ultrasound examination

blood collection and overall examination

and improve the participation rate of faculty and staff in chest DR

medical

surgical and ENT examinations.Therefore

univer-sity hospitals should focus on teaching staff and vigorously promote the health management model of "Internet + Medi-cal" to improve the experience of physical examination.
