Digital Health Care in Taiwan
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-05162-3 (ISBN)
Taiwan's NHI, launched in 1995, is a single-payer system funded primarily through payroll-based premiums. It covers all citizens and foreign residents with the same comprehensive benefits without the long waiting times seen in other single-payer systems. Though premium rate adjustment and various reforms were carried out in 2010, the NHI finds itself at a crossroads over its financial stability. With the advancement of technologies and an aging population, it faces challenges of expanding coverage to newly developed treatments and diagnosis methods and applying the latest innovations to deliver telemedicine and more patient-centered services. The NHI, like the national health systems of other countries, also needs to address the privacy concerns of the personal health data it collects and the issues regarding opening this data for research or commercial use.
In this book, the 12 chapters cover the history, characteristics, current status, innovations and future reform plans of the NHI in the digital era. Topics explored include:
- Income Strategy
- Payment Structure
- Pursuing Health Equity
- Infrastructure of the Medical Information System
- Innovative Applications of the Medical Information
- Applications of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence
