醫院品質報告卡可行性研究
在現行的全民健保制度下，民眾擁有高度的就醫選擇自由。但是，民眾所得到就醫選擇
資訊仍嫌不足。國內醫療市場需要客觀且具公信力的就醫選擇資訊。醫院品質報告卡
(Hospital Report Cards) 為醫院對民眾公佈其醫療品質資訊之工具。本研究之目的為研究
影響國內醫院品質報告卡推行之因素，並且架構出可行的醫院品質報告卡。
本研究主要分為三個步驟，首先，對國外現有醫院品質報告卡與相關文獻進行探討。其
次，訪談國內深具醫療品質實務經驗之專家，調查其對醫院品質報告卡的態度與建議。
再運用前兩者之資料發展本研究之架構與問卷。最後，對國內醫學中心、區域醫院與地
區醫院三層級之醫院進行問卷調查，共有 504 家樣本醫院。
問卷總共回收 183 份，總回收率為 37% 。研究結果發現醫院對醫院品質報告卡認為有
意願推行者達 52% 。主要影響醫院整體意願之因素包括提升醫院形象 ( OR=4.695, p=0.
003, 95% C.I.=1.711, 12.83) 與可能增加醫療糾紛 ( OR=0.52, p=0.004, 95% C.I.=0.331, 0.
861) 。醫院對醫院品質報告卡認為有能力推行者達 71.6% ，高於有意願之比例。醫學
中心、區域醫院與地區教學醫院認為有能力之比例高於地區非教學醫院。主要影響醫院
推動能力的醫院特質為是否有專人負責醫療品質活動與教學醫院資格。
最適合主導推行之機構為財團法人醫院評鑑暨醫療品質策進會。依據調查醫院之意見，
歸納出可行之醫院品質報告卡內容為醫院擁有專業醫師資格比率、主治醫師與病床比、
醫師專長與資歷、貴重醫療儀器設備種類與數量、醫院評鑑等級、各類病床數、病患滿
意度、平均住院日與佔床率等九項。
衛生主管機關應儘早統籌規劃醫院品質報告卡之推行，讓民眾能有充足且正確之就醫選
擇資訊。此外，醫院總額預算制度即將實施，醫院品質報告卡不失為總額制度下監測與
促進醫療品質之良策。
A Study on the Feasibility of Hospital Report Cards
Under Taiwan National Health Insurance, the general public has high selectivity for medical service. But th e general public doesn’t have enough informed information about health care. Health market has a need for reliable health care performance information of providers. Hospital report card is a tool for hospitals to rele ase hospital performance to the public.

The response rate was 37%. In total 57% of hospitals that are willing to use hospital report card. The influe nce factors include promoting the image of hospital( OR=4.695, p=0.003, 95% C.I.=1.711, 12.83) and incr easing the possibility of medical malpractice ( OR=0.52, p=0.004, 95% C.I.=0.331, 0.861). Among the sam pled hospitals, 71.6% consider themselves to be capable of using hospital report card. The rate of consideri ng themselves to be capable of using hospital report card is higher among the medical centers, the regional hospitals and district teaching hospitals than that among the district hospitals.
