Surprisingly, outpatient and inpatient visits at medical centers decreased, and cancer mortality rates dropped for three consecutive years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Written by Lee Po-Chang<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Published on: 2024-11-08<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2012, I was seconded from National Cheng Kung University Hospital to serve as the Director of the Ministry of Health and Welfare\u2019s Tainan Hospital. In 2015, Tainan experienced the most severe dengue fever outbreak in its history. One day, the ER director informed me of a dengue patient who had to be protected with a mosquito net to prevent mosquitoes from biting him and infecting other ER patients.<\/p>\n<p>Unexpectedly, that night, dozens of dengue patients flooded into the ER, with mosquito nets hanging everywhere. Fortunately, the Nursing Department Director, Hsieh Li-Wei, acted quickly, mobilizing nurses to ensure that the public felt secure.<\/p>\n<p>I vividly recall Deputy Minister Lin Tzou-Yien of the Ministry of Health and Welfare calling me, requesting that I free up two wards. I thought, &#8220;No matter how slow Tainan Hospital&#8217;s &#8216;business&#8217; might be, freeing up two wards isn\u2019t easy.&#8221; Nonetheless, I decided to temporarily halt admitting outpatient referrals and posted a notice in the ER stating, &#8220;If your condition isn\u2019t severe, please don\u2019t come to Tainan Hospital.&#8221; Eventually, this was amended to &#8220;If it\u2019s not dengue fever, don\u2019t come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leveraging Individual Strengths as the Best Management Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Though dengue fever isn\u2019t as contagious as SARS, being a public hospital meant taking on public health responsibilities. At the time, Tainan residents, out of fear, flooded the ER at Cheng Kung University Hospital, which couldn\u2019t handle the volume, especially with many patients needing critical surgical or internal care. We established a \u201cgreen channel\u201d with Cheng Kung University Hospital, where stable patients were transferred to Tainan Hospital for observation, while high-risk elderly patients or those requiring advanced care were directed to Cheng Kung University Hospital. Together, we effectively managed the dengue crisis, with many citizens gaining new confidence in Tainan Hospital\u2019s medical standards.<\/p>\n<p>This experience solidified my understanding of the value and importance of hierarchical medical care. Both the medical center (Cheng Kung University Hospital) and the regional hospital (Tainan Hospital) supported each other, leveraging their respective strengths, which is the best strategy for hospital management.<\/p>\n<p>I realized that while patients may not know if their illness is major or minor, they care deeply about having access to top-tier doctors and medical centers. Although all medical institutions\u2019 physicians have received comprehensive training at medical centers, the facilities and services at different levels vary. Changing public attitudes about healthcare requires strong government advocacy and user-pay measures to ensure realistic and sustainable outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Changing public healthcare habits isn\u2019t easy, but with correct direction and strategy, a positive mindset can bring about change.<\/p>\n<p>The National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) gathered feedback from public hearings, the Legislative Yuan\u2019s Health and Environment Committee, and experts, forming six strategies for hierarchical medical care:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Enhance primary care services.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage referral practices and adjust co-payment structures.<\/li>\n<li>Increase reimbursement standards for severe cases to guide hospitals to reduce minor treatments.<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen cooperation between hospitals and clinics for continuous care.<\/li>\n<li>Improve public health literacy for self-care.<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen the management of medical foundations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To promote hierarchical medical care and encourage vertical integration among institutions, NHIA leaders and I visited hospitals across regions. By the end of March 2022, we had formed 81 strategic alliances, with 7,173 contracted institutions participating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cancer Mortality Decreased Despite the Pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, efforts to promote hierarchical medical care gradually materialized during the COVID-19 pandemic. In early 2024, a study by Taipei Medical University\u2019s Dean of Public Health, Chen Yi-Hua, showed Taiwan&#8217;s average excess mortality rate from 2020 to 2023 was around 3.3%, about half that of OECD countries and significantly lower than the U.S., U.K., and Germany. There was no significant increase in excess deaths from stroke, heart disease, or cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, during the pandemic, people naturally leaned towards hierarchical medical care, reducing visits to large hospitals. Before the pandemic, NHIA aimed to reduce outpatient volumes at major hospitals by 2% annually, but outpatient numbers declined organically during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Data from 2015 to 2021 showed a significant shift in hospital visits before and after the outbreak. Due to infection fears, outpatient and ER visits at major hospitals sharply declined in 2020 and 2021, with many chronic patients opting to fill prescriptions at pharmacies instead. Pharmacists played a crucial role in pandemic prevention.<\/p>\n<p>A closer analysis revealed outpatient visits dropped 16%, inpatient visits 23%, and ER visits by 59% in 2021, with even steeper declines in 2022. Major hospitals experienced the largest reduction in medical capacity, while primary clinics were less affected, indicating many patients didn\u2019t need to visit large medical centers for outpatient care.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, despite predictions that many cancer patients would experience delayed treatments, cancer mortality rates surprisingly continued to decline, contradicting public health and clinical expectations. Compared to the previous year, cancer deaths decreased by 2.7% in 2020, 1.6% in 2021, and 2.9% in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s often a gap between our expectations and real-world data. The most intriguing finding was that there was no \u201cexcess mortality\u201d as predicted by public health experts. Analysis of the Ministry of the Interior\u2019s death registration data revealed that actual deaths were lower than anticipated, contradicting expert forecasts.<\/p>\n<p>Among the cancer types, liver cancer showed the most significant decline, likely due to the National Health Insurance\u2019s full coverage of antiviral drugs for hepatitis C patients, effectively treating hepatitis and prolonging survival for liver cancer patients.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason could be Taiwan\u2019s successful \u201cnon-pharmaceutical interventions.\u201d For instance, the \u201creal-name mask rationing system\u201d ensured everyone had access to masks, powered by the NHIA\u2019s cloud data system. Initially designed to reduce unnecessary medical services and waste, this platform became invaluable during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>We have long hoped that people would reduce unnecessary medical visits, thereby lowering the healthcare service point system. This would mean doctors no longer need to perform excessive procedures, allowing healthcare resources to be fairly allocated.<\/p>\n<p>However, if a physician only seeks to maximize earnings, they might encourage patients to pursue additional self-funded treatments.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, to implement hierarchical medical care, the burden can\u2019t solely be on hospitals and doctors. This is why we must promote \u201cuser-pay co-payment.\u201d Once the public understands this user-pay concept, optimizing doctor-patient decision-making will make hierarchical healthcare reform achievable.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Editor: Lin Hsing-Fei)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(Lee Po-Chang is the former NHIA Director-General.
