For the number of online consultations, the recommended popularity had a complete mediating effect on the doctor's professional title if the hospital departments were not considered. When the hospital departments were considered, the recommended popularity had a partial mediating effect on the doctor's professional title,the contribution rate was 54.1%; but the influence of the tier of hospital on the number of consultations was completely replaced by the recommended popularity.
