Abstract: This thesis describes the status quo of the Taiwanese health care system in the year 2000, 5 years after the reforms, analyses the economic efficiency of single components of the new health care system and searches for possible solutions to solve uncovered problems. For a better understanding of the Taiwanese health care system, the economic, political and demographic environment is described first of all. Although the Taiwanese economy developed rapidly, the health care system was still looking like that of a underdeveloped country. To analyze the efficiency of the Taiwanese health care system it is necessary to have a general look at the possible composition of health care systems and their incentives on the actors of the system. A health care system can be divided in finance and reimbursement. After presenting basic models of financing a health care system, different methods of reimbursing in-patient, out-patient and pharmaceutical services are described.
