Abstract
This study has two purposes: (1) use matrix and graph to demonstrate the peacetime cooperative relationship network of Taipei hospitals; (2) find the key factors which influence hospitals’ decision to choose the cooperative one when facing internal emergency.
The study subjects are 47 hospitals accredited as medical centers, regional hospitals, district hospitals, and psychiatric hospitals located in Taipei. The administrators of those hospitals are interviewed by mailed, structured questionnaire which was developed by the researcher. A telephone interview was also conducted to remind them to send back the questionnaires. In the end, there were 45 hospitals sending back and the response rate was 95.74%.
This study analyzes the hospital’s cooperative tendency from three perspectives: 1) across administrative area; 2) across hospital accreditation; 3) hospitals’ cooperative experience. The study also found out the influential factors which affect the cooperative tendency from three perspectives: 1) internal environment factor—using accreditation level, ownership, beds of hospitals, disaster experiences and frequency of emergency simulation training as measure indicators; 2) situation decision factor—using resource oriented, trust oriented, and distance oriented as measure indicators where were from the questionnaires; 3) external network factor—using “degree centrality” as the indicator.
The result showed that when facing internal emergency and decide which hospital to cooperate with, most hospitals would take its distance, accreditation and whether they have cooperative experiences before into consideration.
The study concluded that internal environment factors, situation decision factors and external network factors influence hospitals’ cooperative tendency when facing internal emergency.
