Taiwan has implemented phased reforms of its payment system and related control measures to give medical providers greater financial risk responsibilities. However, few studies have evaluated the appropriateness of health care payments and the associated decision-making processes. Particularly, the payments for universal health care have not been carefully reviewed. Rapidly advancing medical technology has had an impact on both the supply and demand sides of the medical system. Additionally, the scope of health care payments has been continuously expanding. Considering the limited number of health care resources, health care policy makers, and medical service providers, rethinking the need for allocation and prioritizing health care resources are warranted. The second-generation health insurance law passed on January 26,2010 was based on the concept of balance of payments and the linkage between revenue and expenditure to usher reforms in the health care system. Research has revealed that current problems mainly include incomplete information, inconsistent revenue and expenditure information, and revenue and expenditure information not appearing at key decision points. |
