Analyzing Financial Efficiency of Public-Private Partnerships Hospitals in Taiwan.

This study evaluates the management capacity ability and profitable capacity of eight public-private partnership hospitals in Taiwan from 2015 to 2020. By conducting various ratio analyses of the financial statement, this study found these hospitals have achieved a balance between management efficiency and profitability, thereby confirming the viability of the PPP model for hospital management. In addition, the subject hospitals play a vital role as isolation hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond offering medical assistance to infected individuals, these hospitals contribute to the integrity of Taiwan's medical network, mitigating the impact of the pandemic. Overall, establishing and managing hospitals with PPP partnership is a feasible solution as it alleviates governmental financial burdens related to medical welfare and achieves profitability.
