This open access book introduces the National Health Insurance
(NHI) system of Taiwan with a particular emphasis on its
application of digital technology to improve healthcare access and
quality. The authors explicate how Taiwan integrates its strong
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry with 5G to
construct an information system that facilitates medical
information exchange, collects data for planning and research,
refines medical claims review procedures and even assists in
fighting COVID-19. 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
Digital Health Care in Taiwan is essential reading for academic
researchers and students in healthcare administration, health
policy, health systems research, and health services delivery, as
well as policymakers and public officials in relevant government
departments. It also would appeal to academics, practitioners, and
other professionals in public health, health sciences, social
welfare, and health and biotechnology law.
