Most elders and children were not protected by the social insurance, so the government implemented the National Health Insurance (NHI) in order to protect all the Taiwanese. However, medical expenses were continuously growing and NHI faced financial losses. The government proposed global budget system etc. to control medical expenses. For the past decade, the aging population in Taiwan and the trend of globalization encourage health care institutions to provide total care as well as to improve health care industry by cooperating with the tourism industry, the science and technology industry. However, the health care environment in Taiwan is dynamic and the number of private hospitals is decreasing. In addition, the number of small and medium-sized hospitals is gradually shrinking.
