Objective of MCNP
• shrink the gap of medical resources between medical regions
• avoid the resources being repeatedly invested and wasted
• better distribution of medical resources

Outcome of MCNP
• the unequally distributed medical resources have been improved
• By the end of 2003, over 90 percent (17,259 in total) of medical institutions in Taiwan had joined the NHI program.
After the successful of MCNP, checking the efficiency of the use of medical resources
has become an important task.

For improving and strengthening emergency care services in every township located in mountainous areas, outlying islands, and other areas with relatively limited medical resources, 200 health rooms / stations have been set up to serve residents in inaccessible areas.
Since 1979, the government has been sending mobile medical teams to remote villages on a regular basis.
In 1988, a telecommunications medical care program was initiated to provide emergency medical care for the island's residents.

Since 1995, teaching hospitals, medical centers, and regional hospitals have joined the distance medical care network and provided services to health stations in remote areas.
The government also offers incentives, such as:Increased pay and commuting subsidies for medical personnel serving in rural and remote areas.
Since 1975, medical school graduates who have studied on government scholarships are assigned to remote areas or special medical branches for six years.
In 1999, an integrated delivery system was established.

“Improvement of Medicare in the Mountain and Remote Areas and Outlying Islands”
(改善山離島偏遠地區醫療服務措施 )
By the end of 2003, 48 medical service areas and 30 medical institutions had joined the program, with medical service accessibility in these areas considerably improved.
Removable of Geographical Barrier

The NHI benefited 400,000 people suffering from serious or terminal illnesses.
The NHI cushioned the high hospitalization expenses incurred from premature babies.
NHI extended coverage to the eight million citizens who were formerly uninsured, mainly the elderly, children, students, housewives, and the disabled.

Quality Assurance Clinical Practical Guidelines
![Page 44: Topic: National Health Insurance in Taiwan Group members: Jodie KWONG (04427778G) Lawrence CHAN (04703452G) Phiona SO (04726717G Remus Au (04726219G) Vicky.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d585503460f94a37f0e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG)
• Systematically developed statements which assist in decision making about appropriate healthcare for specific clinical conditions– CPG are tools– CPG help to evaluate & assimilate the ever-
increasing amount of evidence & opinion on preferred practices, taking into consideration of local system factors
– CPG do not replace clinical judgement

Perceived Benefits of CPG
• Align clinical practice to scientific evidence & the local healthcare setting– Alert doctors to unwarranted practices– Optimise delivery of care in a given
healthcare setting.– Reveal direction for further study– Help in designing rational approaches to
uncommon problems
• Facilitate clinical audit

Limitations of CPG
• Skill and resources demanding• More CPG are being produced than implemented • CPG cannot be appropriate for all clinical situation &
cannot address concern of all patients• Inadequate attention to the limit of evidence & system
barrier can lead to faulty/inapplicable recommendation• Validity declines over time due to evolving evidence• Inattention to methodology reduces acceptance &
applicability
