Purpose: In order to evaluate the effect on communities that results when health services are provided by hospitals, effect indicators for the internal evaluation of the Community Health Service were set up within hospitals. Effect indicators in the form of questionnaires were used. One was given to measure an individual’s satisfaction to the follow-up visits at the Community Health Service, and a questionnaire was also given to individuals who did not return for follow-up visits at the Community Health Service. Methodology: The Modified Delphi method and revision of the result through two professional questionnaires were used to evaluate the effect indicators of the Community Health Service. Conclusion and Suggestions: This study showed that the number of satisfied people returning for follow-up visits is the most feasible indicator to evaluate the effect of the Community Health Service. There was unanimous agreement from those who answered the questionnaire that the attitude of the community health center staff is the most important factor that contributes to an individual's satisfaction in regard to the follow-up visits to the Community Health Service. Also, the attitude of hospital volunteers and staff responsible for referrals from clinics to hospitals also plays an important role in the satisfaction that is felt by patients about follow-up visits. The questionnaire is given to individuals who do not return for the follow-up visits to the Community Health Service so that an understanding may be acquired of why patients tend not to go to hospitals when needed. The study results suggest that when establishing indicators of community service, the policies which govern the medical environment and daily hospital management should be taken into consideration when designing the effect evaluation indicator. Furthermore, when the referred patients return for follow-up visits, the hospitals should provide careful treatment and arrangements to the patients to give them a positive impression and convey a strong sense of competence and reliability, so as to increase their satisfaction with the overall medical services. |
