History and Developmentof Telemedicine in Taiwan

Page 11: Telemedicine & e-Health in Taiwan - Home | Internet2 · Chunghwa Telecom (10G) Chunghwa Telecom ... Family Folder system Electronic Health Records ... Community Health Group-Health

Why Telemedicine?

Geographic:75% mountainous area,several groups of isolated islets

Poor medical resources in rural area Physicians are reluctant to practice in

rural areaAfraid of being isolated Lacking opportunities for CME

Specific needs:Handicapped and ElderlyHome care(palliative medicine)

Elderly Healthcare Problem

Huge Healthcare Need: burden for families Biomedical support: chronic illness with

complication, handicapped, terminal illness Psychosocial support: living alone, social

isolation Emergency support: acute events

Escalating Healthcare Expense: In Taiwan, 10% Elderly account for 25% of

total health care expenses, 40% of emergencymedical services
