「美國國家品質論壇」建議:藉由測量健康平等指標與健保支付制度的誘因,改善健康不平等

「健康不平等」是包含美國內在的許多國家長期存在的問題。雖然美國醫療體系過去實施過許多品質指標搭配支付制度的策略,像是「醫院以價值為基礎的醫療服務購買」 (Hospital Value-based Purchasing, HVBP) 或是「論質計酬」(pay-for-performance, P4P) 等,但都無法徹底改善這項問題,主要是因為未將「公平」概念納入前述策略中的績效衡量指標。     因此美國國家品質論壇 (National Quality Forum, NQF) 2017年9月出版的一份報告,提出達到健康平等的路徑圖 (Roadmap),其中包含4項要素:1. 確認可降低健康不平等的措施並加以排序 2.施行以實證為基礎的介入措施3. 針對健康公平測量指標的發展及應用進行投資 4. 針對減少健康不平等與增進健康公平提供誘因 (見圖1)。今年刊登在Health Affairs的文章,談到了上述這篇報告的對如何消除健康不平等的建議,並且聚焦在進行健康不平等的指標測量與連結支付制度。 NQF這份報告建議,藉由測量健康平等指標,可以讓政策規劃者了解該項措施改善健康公平性之效果,透

總額支付制度對於中小型醫院退出市場之影響

在台灣,醫療產業深受健保制度的影響,截至2012年資料發現,健保自1995年施行後,區域醫院與地區醫院總家數驟降,從787家減少至502家,健保特約率也率退37.29%,然而同時間醫院的總病床是卻是逐年成長,產生小型醫院日漸消失但大規模醫院卻人滿為患的現象,使資源分配不均問題更佳惡化。2002年7月起醫院施行總額制度,大多縣市的醫院退出市場率皆較總額施行前高,加上健保給付所導致「同工不同酬」問題與民眾對於高科技醫療服務的需求增加等因素,使小型醫院不利生存,為產業帶來巨大衝擊與結構性轉變,因此對於了解影響中小型醫院退出市場的因素是當務之急。 2017年有篇研究探討中小型醫院退出市場之因素,了解總額制度施行前後,影響醫院退出市場原因是否有不同。該篇研究採用健保資料庫,探討1998年至2012年與健保署特約之區域醫院與地區醫院,其在總額制度施行前(1998-2002)與總額制度施行後(2003-2012)的經營情況,並以Cox比例危險模型分析。 醫院總額制度施行後,地區醫院退出率有上升現象,從12.6%增加至28.2%,其中200家退出的地區醫院當中,又以非公立醫院佔多數,共193家(9

影響台灣西醫基層診所的存活因素

台灣醫療院所自健保全面施行總額制度後呈現極端化,醫院家數逐年遞減並且朝大型化發展,但是基層診所家數卻是大幅增加;此外,2005年衛福部開始推動轉診制度,呼籲民眾多加利用社區基層診所,而基層診所為病患接受治療最前線,若能了解影響診所存活或歇業的因素,有助於診所改善與提升其永續經營的能力。 去年底有篇出版研究,針對西元2000年至2010年新設基層診所,探討其存活與歇業情形,並進一步透過縣市社經資源、診所內部結構及診所經營過程三個面向,了解其對於診所存活/歇業的影響為何。該篇研究資料來源採用2000年至2010年國衛院之「全民健康學術研究資料庫」與主計處之「中華民國統計資訊網」進行分析;研究結果顯示,診所歇業比例最高前三名分別為不分科(37.5%)、家醫科(33.9%)與復健科(28.7%),而歇業率較低的專科則為皮膚科、小兒科、神經外科及耳皮喉科(詳見下圖1)。 然而會造成家醫科歇業率為所有專科之冠的原因,可能與現今各專科診所林立,促使社區民眾就醫時可選擇多元診療科別,因而導致家醫科市場需求降低。 另外,進行COX存活分析後發現,縣市每萬人口病床數越多、開業醫師年齡越小、診所規模
