  • 本研究以全民健康保險1998年至2012年期間全民健康保險資料庫中4,905家特約中醫診所數據為依據,分析台灣中醫診所的特徵對其經營績效的影響。其中固定效應模型以及Hausman-Taylor模型的實證結果顯示,病人特徵,如:縣市別失能傷害人數,對中醫診所提供的醫療服務量有正面的影響。這些結果意味著,當人們面臨發生身體傷害時,可能會選擇中醫作為醫療選擇。此外,中醫診所的規模,包括醫師數,醫療人員數以及診所提供的專科服務,對中醫診所的表現有顯著的影響,而診所與健保署的合約期程也具有相同的效果,簽約時間越長,對績效的影響越顯著。最後,在實施總額預算後,由於同儕審查機制的推動,在抑制中醫診所收入方面發揮了重要的關鍵作用。


    The study attempts to investigate the features and determinants of the performance of Taiwanese Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinics using data for 4,905 TCM clinics over the 1998 to 2012 period. The empirical results from the fixed-effects model and the Hausman-Taylor Model with cluster-robust standard errors reveal several interesting findings. First, consumer characteristics such as the frequency of disabling injuries have positive impacts on the volume of medical services provided by TCM clinics. These results imply that people are likely to select TCM as the option for medical treatment when they face the occurrence of physical injury in Taiwan. In addition, the scale measurements for TCM clinics including the numbers of physicians, medical personnel and divisions have significantly positive effects on the performance of TCM clinics, while their survival length also has the same effect. Finally, the global budget system under the NHI plays a key role in suppressing the revenue of TCM clinics through the peer review mechanism.
