The utilization of preventive care services is limited. Previous studies based on communities have looked at many types of barriers to preventive care (i.e., why not do). This study aimed to gain an insight into the key factors and performance gaps (i.e., why do and how to do) of people who attended a regional teaching hospital to undergo health check-ups using a purposive sampling method to recruit people to complete a self-administered questionnaire. Paired sample t -tests and importance-performance gap and regression analyses were performed. The results indicated that the participants' wish to understand their health status, the quality of medical devices and the completeness of items, and process layout planning were the key factors that affect people's health check-up behavior. Promoting the effectiveness of hospital performance may improve the positive cycle of people's health check-up behavior from the community to the hospital. Continuing to promote the knowledge of preventive care services is necessary, and it is very important for people to have a good experience of undergoing health check-ups in the hospital. Important strategies for improving the utilization of preventive care services may include: meeting the person's personalization needs, improving the quality of medical devices and the completeness of items, and having appropriate process layout planning, a detailed interpretation of the results, and further follow-ups in the hospital
