dc.description.abstractBackground: Electronic infrastructures are important for improving the quality of health services. For this reason, our study. wanted to evaluate the attitudes of healthcare professionals toward the use of electronic infrastructure and their awareness of telemedicine and health tourism. Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted among 108 healthcare professionals in a local hospital, analyzed the data obtained from the survey using the student t-test and the GraphPad Prism 9 statistical program. Results: 42 male and 66 female volunteer healthcare workers participated in the study. When the participants’ responses regarding the training they received regarding service provision to foreign patients were evaluated, the subject in which the training was most inadequate was foreign language (2.1%) (p<0.05). Physicians (50.1%), health license holders (69.8%), and non-healthcare workers (55.6%) thought that they could use telemedicine applications due to their profession (p<0.05). In addition, while healthcare professionals with less professional experience were more willing to use electronic infrastructure, their awareness levels were low (p<0.05). Conclusion: More studies should be planned to eliminate deficiencies in health policies by effectively matching local needs with global expectations, especially health tourism and electronic health service provision.
