行銷管理日漸盛行於國外的醫療產業中,然這樣的觀念卻甚少被我國中醫醫療管理者所採用,目標行銷與差異化行銷為近來在行銷管理界發展的主軸,兩者共同的部分在於市場區隔的建立,而在進行市場區隔前,必須先確定市場區隔變數,本研究擷取Aday and Andersen 1974年所發展的第二階段醫療服務利用行為模式中的個人因素與健康照護系統因素等兩項因素構面,來探討民眾使用中醫服務與高度使用中醫服務民眾的相關因素,以找出醫務管理者未來可使用在中醫市場上的區隔變數。 本研究採用全民健康保險局、國家衛生研究院與衛生署所提供的次級資料來進行分析,經比例分層抽樣後獲得有效研究樣本210,216筆,研究結果顯示1997年利用中醫門診比率為25.7%,高度利用中醫門診比率(5次以上)僅占8.4%,經邏輯斯回歸分析後結果顯示,在使用中醫門診機率部分,除傾向因素與能用因素外,當投保地區每萬人口西醫師數越高時,則使用中醫機率越低,若每萬人口中醫師數越高,則使用中醫機率越高。至於在高度使用中醫的機率方面,傾向因素、能用因素與需要因素大多有達到統計上顯著意義,在能用因素方面,不須部分負擔者之高度使用中醫機率比需要者高2.029倍,在需要因素中,有慢性病或重大傷病者,有較高的高度利用中醫機率,至於在每萬人口西醫師數與中醫師數方面,亦呈現出每萬人口西醫師數越高,則高度使用中醫機率越低,若每萬人口中醫師數越高,則使用高度中醫機率越高的趨勢。
Managers of traditional Chinese medicine in Taiwan rarely adopt the perspectives of marketing management. Recently, target marketing and differentiated marketing have become the main stream in marketing management. Before targeting marketing, one should identify segmentation variables first. Therefore, we must identify factors as segmentation variables. To analyze the factors related to the utilization of traditional Chinese medicine, this study gathered factors associated with two dimensions of Behavioral Model of Health Service Utilization created by Aday and Andersen in 1974. Secondary data provided by Bureau of National Health Insurance, National Health Research Institutes and Department of Health were used to analyze factors associated with the utilization of traditional Chinese medicine. Through stratified random sampling of 1% of the National Health Insurance enrollee data file, we collected 210, 216 enrollees' Chinese medicine utilization claims data file for 1997. Results of this study showed that 25.7% of the sample population utilized Chinese medicine and 8.4% of the sample population highly utilize Chinese medicine (>5). Through logistic regression analysis, we found gender, age, insured payroll-related amount, insured by beneficiary category, with or without copayment, with or without chronic disease, with or without major injury or disease, local number of physicians as well as traditional Chinese medicine doctors per 10,000 population factors are significantly related to utilizing and utilizing Chinese medicine by consumers. We also found that the larger the local numbers of tradition Chinese medicine doctors per 10,000 population or the smaller the local number of physicians per 10,000 population is, the higher the probability which people utilize or highly utilize tradition Chinese medicine is.
