Bu çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul’da faaliyet gösteren ve JCI (Joint Commission International) akreditasyonu almış olan hastanelerin uluslararası kapsamda sağlık turistlerine ulaşmak amacıyla yürüttükleri dijital iletişim çalışmalarının ortaya konulmasıdır. Bu doğrultuda, hastanelerin İngilizce olarak hazırlanmış web sitelerine, İngilizce paylaşımlar yapılan Facebook ve Twitter hesaplarına yönelik içerik analizi yapılmış ve edinilen veriler değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre hastanelerin dijital iletişim kanallarında farklı dallarda verdikleri hizmetler, başarıları, hekimlerinin katıldıkları bilimsel toplantılar, ek hizmetler, sunulan ulaşım destekleri gibi konularda bilgi aktarımı yaptıkları, fotoğraf ve video paylaştıkları belirlenmiştir. Ancak hastanelerin dijital iletişimin etkileşim kurma olanağından yeterince faydalanamadığı saptanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, dijital iletişim kanalları sağlık turizminde bir bilgi aktarım aracı olarak kullanılmaktadır.
