"Objectives: This study was conducted to understand the correlation and differences between the two-stage tools for disability evaluation – the Functioning Scale of the Disability Evaluation System and the Needs Assessment of Welfare Services for Persons with Disabilities – and to discuss their impact on disability evaluation result. Methods: A total of 59,787 pieces of valid data from the disability evaluation database and needs assessment database of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) for the period from 2015 to 2019 were used for the analysis. The results of the two tools were compared through rank correlation, chi-square distribution, and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The data indicated that the two tools were expressed separately by the same ICF ideal. The evaluation of environmental factors was difficult in the overall system. The evaluation of the disabled was subject to regional differences. Conclusions: The system should integrate the evaluation process, reinforce the consideration and application of environmental factors, and facilitate the interaction with and participation of the disabled. The overall evaluation process is characterized by a separated, compartmentalized, and difference approach that undermines the implementation of disability evaluation rights.
