In the present study, the secondary data analysis was utilized to evaluate the efficiency of the integrated management model (IMM) on the pap smear test for screening of the women's uterine cervical cancer. The data of female patients receiving a pap smear test were collected both before (from July to December, 2006) and after (from January to June, 2007) inducing the IMM in a regional hospital in Tainan. The result revealed an increment of participation rate from 2.792% to 3.389% among the female patients in the OPD (out-patient department) ( test, p=0.000). Although, the post-IMM participation rate was still much lower than that of general hospital data in Taiwan. Since IMM has been proved efficacious for the management of various diseases, there should be some problems in our IMM for the female uterine cervical cancer's prevention and management. Studies on those influencing factor should be soon carried out, and strategy for resolution of such problems should be soon designed and documented, we decided.
