New Findings Reported from University of Central Florida Describe Advances in COVID-19 (Taiwan’s National Health Insurance At the Emergency Department Following the Covid-19 Outbreak): Coronavirus – COVID-19

2023 APR 18 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx COVID-19 Daily -- Current study results on Coronavirus - COVID-19 have been published. According to news originating from Orlando, Florida, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Taiwan’s National Health Insurance (NHI) is a widely acclaimed universal healthcare system. In the past few years, particularly following the COVID-19 outbreak, challenges related to maintaining the NHI system have surfaced.”

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Central Florida, “Since 2020, NHI has faced a series of challenges, including excessive patient visits to the hospital emergency department, a lack of an effective primary care and referral system, and a high turnover rate of healthcare workers. We review major problems related to Taiwan’s NHI, emphasizing input from frontline healthcare workers. We provide recommendations for potential policies addressing the concerns around NHI, for example, strengthening the role of primary care services under the NHI administration, reducing the high turnover rate of healthcare workers, and increase the premium and copayments.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “We hope that this policy analysis may allow policymakers and scholars to understand both the merits and critical problems related to NHI from the clinical perspective.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
