Abstract
This study aims to explore the differences in relative unprofitable medical services in National Health Insurance by hospital ownerships especially in OPD/ER and community services. The private hospitals provide profit medical services mostly, we expect public and non-for–profit hospitals should provide unprofitable medical services mostly. But the government did not supervise public and non-for-profit hospitals well. Thus did these hospitals meet their non-for-profit vision or community benefit services were still unknown.Purpose of this study were to measure the differences of relative unprofitable medical services and community benefit services among non-for-profit hospitals and the differences between public and private hospitals. The panel data of 2010 NHI Registration database files of Taiwan were used for analysis with several variables controlled.
The results indicate that: (1) the performance and spending on community benefit services of non-for-profit hospitals and private hospitals are almost higher than public hospitals; (2) the performance and spending on community psychiatric services in religious hospitals are higher than other hospital ownerships; (3) the performance and spending on home hospice services in public hospitals are higher than other hospital ownerships.
