Aim: Diabetes ranks among the top five causes of death in Taiwan. Improving the quality of care for people with Diabetics in Taiwan to reduce mortality is a common goal of medical institutions. This study uses the data of Diabetes quality indicators published by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to do statistical analysis and explores the relationship between the completion rate of Diabetes-related examinations and hospital characteristics, and the differences in the completion rates in different levels of medical institutes. Methods: This study uses the data of the Ministry of Health and Welfare to conduct statistical analysis and explore the critical influencing factors of Diabetes healthcare quality indicators published by hospitals on the National Health Insurance (NHI) quality indicators public website, in order to find out the key factors that affect the Diabetes healthcare quality. In this study, during the three-year period from 2018 to 2020, a total of 369 medical centers, regional hospitals, and district teaching hospitals have completely uploaded the statistical data on Diabetes medical quality care indicators to the public website of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The data was pre-processed with Excel and then input to SPSS 26.0 for statistical analysis. Results: The study results showed that the number of regional hospitals participating each year accounted for the highest proportion of the research objects. Respectively 2018 (67.2%); 2019 (64.0%); 2020 (64.0%). Among the quality indicators, the implementation rate of relevant inspections is lower than the national indicator value, which is one of the indicators that can still be improved. In 2020, the blood testing implement ratio of “HbA1c or Albumin” has the highest improvement rate (44.8%). Among them, the “regional” statistics in 2019 showed that the hospital implementation rate in the “Taipei” region was significantly higher than in other areas (P<0.001); also, statistics on the comparison implementation rate of “fundoscopy or fundus color photography index” with the target value, the “regional” statistics have achieved statistically significant differences in the three years from 2018 to 2020; the “eastern regional” has a generally lower implementation rate of various inspections than other areas. In terms of drug quality indicators, the medical center showed better results, the overlap rate of hypoglycemic drugs was low, and the proportion of drug treatment quality was the highest. And in 2019, the statistics of “hospital-level” and “overlapping rate of medication” were significantly different (P=0.01). Conclusion: Based on our results, we suggested that the competent health authority can strengthen and monitor the drug overlap rate index of non-medical center-level medical institutions to improve the quality of medication for Diabetes care; at the same time, it is suggested to evaluate whether the incentives for improving the implementation rate of various Diabetes-related examinations, so as to increase the implementation rate of hospitals in the “Eastern District”. |
