Changes in Taiwans National Health Insurance policy
have led to stringent competition among an increasing number of
hospitals to receive case payment for treating patients given a fixed
allocated budget, necessitating that hospitals change their
management approaches to remain competitive. Given the
increasingly competitive medical treatment services offered nationwide,
conventional management methods have lost their competitiveness in
handling case-payment schemes owing to the inability to fully
understand market needs, which is essential to establishing an
effective strategy to increase revenues. (NOTE : Add 2-4 sentences
that describe characteristics of the problem or statistics that reflect its
severity) For instance, each of the five hospitals in
Hsinchu, Taiwan has lost $1,200,000 annually in revenues owing to the
inefficient management of case-payment schemes. The
inability to handle case-payment schemes will lead to a further loss in
hospital revenues, eventually leading to a reduction in personnel and
community services. Therefore, an effective quality
control index based on customer relations management must be
developed to analyze how individuals select a hospital to receive
medical treatment, thus providing a valuable reference for policymakers
in the medical sector.

An effective quality control index based on customer
relations management can be developed to analyze how individuals
select a hospital to receive medical treatment, thus providing a valuable
reference for policymakers in the medical sector. To
do so, a questionnaire can be designed to understand the varying
levels of medical treatment quality by incorporating the basic
requirements of patients, including intangible ones such as respect.
Use of PZB in the twenty two-item questionnaires can enhance its
effectiveness, including factors such as tangibles, reliability,
responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The following criterion can
then be adopted to analyze the questionnaire results: physicians are
qualified and reliable; medical staff has received sufficient training;
physicians are willing to offer valuable clinical information; physicians
express concern for their patients; medical staff display a professional
attitude; and the hospital honors patient confidentiality.
()
Next, a distinction between satisfactory and unsatisfactory medical
treatment can be made by using the AHP method. Additionally, the
quality of medical services in individual hospitals can be determined
using the quality control index. As anticipated, by
incorporating AHP, the proposed quality control index can evaluate
individual attitudes towards medical service quality, thus enhancing
management quality and competitiveness of hospitals, as evidenced by
increased revenues. While attempting to enhance medical
quality island wide, the proposed index can more accurately assess the
quality of medical service in hospitals than conventional management
methods can. (NOTE : Add 2 more sentences that describe more
thoroughly how the proposed method contributes to a particular field or
sector)
()
The extremely competitive medical market sector
in Taiwan and budget deficits incurred from the islands National
Health Insurance scheme have led to the implementation of a
Global Budget System. Whereas hospitals heavily prioritize
allotting resources efficiently, the resources utility rate has
received increasing attention. Thus, hospitals must concentrate
their operational efforts on retaining current patients and
increasing the utility rate of those resources that hospitals
already possess. Of the relatively few studies
examining the medical sector in this area, conventional
approaches calculate the number of outpatients, inpatients and
visits to emergency service without considering the payment
policy in the Global Budget System. (NOTE : Add 2-4
sentences that describe characteristics of the problem or
statistics that reflect its severity) The inability to
effectively address the utility rate of resources would make the
statistical approaches used to determine the samples in
resource policies inaccurate.
()
Incapable of determining the utility rate of
resources, hospitals will expend considerable costs to
maintain nullity of resources and reduce the amount of
subsidized revenues from the National Health Insurance
scheme, ultimately lowering their competitiveness.
Therefore, a novel assessment model must be
developed to identify the utility rate of resources in the
medical sector for enhancing hospital operations. More
specifically, the proposed model must incorporate a novel
set of management strategies that emphasize allotting
resources within the medical sector to strengthen a
hospitals competitiveness in order to comply with the
Global Budget System.

A novel assessment model can be developed to identify
the utility rate of resources in the medical sector for enhancing hospital
operations. More specifically, the proposed model can incorporate a
novel set of management strategies that emphasize allotting resources
within the medical sector to strengthen a hospitals competitiveness in
order to comply with the Global Budget System. To
do so, the DEA model can be used to determine the operational
efficiency of each hospital and identify an improved direction for
allocating resources. AHP can the be revised based on the weight of
the DEA model. Next, questionnaires can be sent to administrators
regarding the significance of assessing hospital performance.
Additionally, pertinent literature can be reviewed to confirm the
reliability of variables in the database. Finally, the performances of
different hospital types can be compared using the Kruskal-wallis test.
()
As anticipated, analysis results can indicate the feasibility
of adopting the proposed assessment model to design and implement
precautionary measures towards the utility rate of resources in related
field. In addition to providing the medical sector with more accurate
guidelines on allocating and planning operations, the proposed model
can greatly facilitate hospitals in allocating resources effectively,
ultimately increasing their operating capital. Moreover, the proposed
model can contribute to efforts to effectively utilize resources in the
highly competitive medical market sector, as well as provide a valuable
reference for policymakers in enhancing the effective allocation of
resources. Importantly, the proposed resources allocation
strategy can reduce the operational costs of hospitals and increase the
resources utility rate. Increasing the resource allocation effectively
would not only increase subsidized revenues from the National Health
Insurance scheme, but also distinguish between the performance
efficiency of the hospitals considered and the difference among
hospitals with respect to effectiveness change. Doing so would
ultimately increase the competiveness of the intensely competitive
medical sector.
