The Study of Outsourcing Policy of Healthcare Industry in Taiwan

由於國內健保制度的影響，醫院面臨外在環境的改變，加上醫療產業間的競爭，導致國內市場在高度競爭、低度獲利的時代，醫療產業跨組織合作的經營模式或策略聯盟已經是一項不可忽視的趨勢，且合作的範圍由以往非核心業務擴大到醫療核心業務的合作，而委外合作策略就是其中的一種方式。因此，本研究欲探討醫療院所委外經營之決策因素與架構。 研究結果發現，醫療院所委外經營時需考慮其總體(外在)因素與個體(產業內)因素，本研究提供一個思考外包政策的參考的架構，由總體的國家醫療政策到個體的醫療院所特性，可供有興趣的研究學者參考。Due to the public health and insurance policies, most of the hospitals in Taiwan were facing an increasingly competitive environment and with a low profit margin. Under such circumstances, the external collaboration strategy has become a viable strategy for hospitals to cope with such a hostile environment. The range of collaboration extends from non-core services to core activites, even to outsourcing activites and beyond business only concerns. Thus, in this research we will examine those factors that will facilitate or hamper the outsourcing strategy for firms in medical services. We also provide a framework for medical service decision makers to choose their outsourcing strategy
