Analysis of network type exchange in the health care system: A stakeholder approach

摘要

The present study aims to offer a different perspective of network systems using the health care system in Taiwan as an example. By establishing a paradigm that conforms to the reality of the health care system, this study expects to develop a correct analysis approach. The study applies the stakeholder analysis approach and performs the sampling according to the principles of the qualitative method. The main findings include (1) The health care system is a regulated network type exchange system, in which a third party affects all exchanges among stakeholders; (2) under mutual intervention of interests, stakeholders pursue common interests in appearance but individual interests in reality; (3) the intervening impacts on stakeholder interests come from a common source, which dominates the operating and dynamics of the entire system.
