Health Insurance (BNHI) introduced a pay for performance.
In Taiwan, there has been no study about patient selection for specific disease yet. we need more studies to understand the patient selection of hospital behaviors . Therefore, the objectives of this study are to evaluate effects of Doctors’ selection of patients under quality incentives, to analyze factors influencing patient selection.
The study applied “before-after comparison design” for secondary data analysis based on claim data and web-site patient registry data provided by BNHI (2006,2007). Patients who have registry data in 2006 will be considered as control group. We analyzed the data by
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM,for path analysis).
The results showed that there were quality incentives implementation, hospital characteristics, and doctor characteristics all significantly related to patient selection.
