Full description
Population aging and the progress of medical technology are two main causes for the increase of healthcare expenditure. Effective management of medical expenditure and maintenance of health care quality have become the most important task for the public health and clinical care services. Both United Kingdom and the World Health Organization proposed introducing interdisciplinary team care to improve health of older people and to maximize their independence. Prof Michael Porter has addressed the current difficulty of healthcare system, and proposed that healthcare system should pursuit long-term outcome to promote the value of health care. This project aims to echo the international trends, using Taiwan healthcare system as the basis to establish the community-based integrated care service model, and to use the randomized controlled trial design to validate the clinical effectiveness.
