Introduction

About Taipei City Hospital

Taipei City Hospital is a full-service, total care medical institution that is prepared
to meet the comprehensive healthcare needs of Taipei's 2.6 million residents. The
merger of ten municipal hospitals into one unit has made the Taipei City Hospital the
largest healthcare organization in Northern Taiwan. Each hospital is referred to as the
respective branch of the central organization; for example, Taipei City Hospital – Renai
Branch.
 The purpose of this merger was not only to improve hospital and community
based healthcare, but also to rebuild Taipei City’s entire public healthcare system. The
theme of this reform was the creation of a “Total Care System”, namely a network that
begins caring for an individual from before they are born until they are elderly. To do
this, we seek to instill a new sense of healthy living, to facilitate a healthier environment,
and to integrate healthcare into the community.

Taipei City Hospital is changing the way that people seek medical treatment in
our fair city. In the past, people often sought unnecessary critical care at the hospital
level, thus adversely affecting the quality of service provided at top-level institutions,
while leaving lower-level care providers with little to do. Community-based healthcare is
the focus of our reform and we are actively encouraging citizens to first seek out local
clinics and pharmacies to treat minor illness and discomfort. This system allows for
referrals to higher level treatment if necessary and reduces the strain on hospitals and
speciality-care institutions. In doing so, we can ensure that a higher level of quality
healthcare is provided to all citizens.

By combining human resources and materials, it has been possible to reduce

overhead, eliminate duplicate positions and simplify procedures. Unifying the logistics of
running medical institutions and creating bulk purchasing, has resulted in lower costs for
everything from office supplies to pharmaceutical products to medical
equipment; saving the City’s residents billions of NT dollars. New technology platforms
have allowed hospital administration to access medical information necessary to aid life-
critical decisions remotely from anywhere that has an Internet connection.

It is our goal to align local attitudes toward healthcare with those of other first-
world nations. Moreover, we aim to rebuild the public healthcare system in a way that
emphasizes preventive medicine, long-term care, rehabilitation, and total care. Taipei
City Hospital is dedicated to ensuring the health of all citizens, as well as bringing about
improvements in prenatal healthcare, adolescent healthcare, adult care, long term care
and care for the aged.

National Patient Safety Goals

Introduction
In order to contrive a consensus among the local medical fields towards the
promotion of patient safety, and employ the most effective use of the limited medical
resources, "Patient Safety Committee" of the Department of Health corresponded to the
government’s strategies and carefully reviewed the practical and implementation needs
of hospitals. Joint Commission of Taiwan invited clinical experts of patient safety to
formulate national patient safety goals, strategies, principles and referential practices
that are adopted from the annual goals and practices of the American JCAHO ( Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ) for the use and reference of
the related medical affairs . As from 2004, the annual patient safety goals have been
increased from 5 to 10 items. Besides, active and positive descriptions are adopted to
promote the patient safety in Taiwan.
The principles for setting the goals are considered upon 5 aspects:
 Universality：The formulation of goals and strategies is based on the common
situations encountered by most medical institutes, instead of merely those in
large-scaled hospitals.
 Accessibility：While setting the goals and strategies, the costs of hospitals
should not be affected. The hospitals are expected to implement the suggested
practices in their daily work.
 Phased：The goals are assessed every year, and the improvement of each goal
is reviewed. Principally, the goals are revised once every two years according to
the practical situation of implementation.
 Concentration：The hospitals and medical organizations should review the
characteristics of the goals and implement what are best-suited. They are not
required to achieve all the listed goals, but to strengthen the goals that need to
be improved.
  Systematic：The improvement practices of hospitals are not limited to a single
medical or administrative department. Only the adoption of systematic practices
can patient safety be effectively improved.
The quality of medical service is based on "Patient safety" which is the commonest
goal for healthcare providers and patients. The proposal of patient safety goals
elucidates government’s determination in providing our people with safety medical care.
It is expected that medical experts and the public can work together to promote the
healthcare quality in Taiwan as well as building a safety medical environment.
