Mission statement is an official document for organizations to achieve their aspirations in practices with the core values. Guidelines for organizational decision-making encourage staffs to move toward the same goal of an institute, which have become an important strategic tools for enterprise management in the past two decades. The development of MS is a key factor in good governance to achieve the best health care organizations.We searched web sites of both regional hospitals and medical centers in Taiwan to obtain their vision, mission, mission / objectives, strategies, beliefs, goals, core values, etc. A total of 98 hospitals were recruited in this study. The inventory developed by Bart and Tabone (1999) was used to (1) examine MS performance of each studied individual hospitals, and compare the achievement in MS iterations with those of foreign medical settings and industrial enterprise.The results show that the MS contents of Taiwanese medical institutions can be divided into five major categories, such as organization philosophy, organizational strategy, organizational goals, Organization of self-definition and organizations stakeholder. The organization philosophy is earned the greatest attention, and the organizational strategy was easily neglected most. The three domains of vision, value / concept and Product / Service are most commonly mentioned in MS contents. The organization of philosophy in Taiwanese clinical settings is significantly higher than that of foreign medical settings and industrial enterprises. Instead, the three MS domains of organizational strategy, organizational goals and organizational stakeholders in Taiwan are significantly lower than that of foreign medical industry and industrial organizations. Industrial MS performs superior to Taiwanese hospitals in organizational strategy and organizational self-definition. The results help us to understand the roles of MS in medical institutions, which can truly reflect the values and meanings of the healthcare services in a hospital. |
