醫療器材產業具有科技、知識高度密集之特性,近年來產值呈現2位數的成長,2004年台灣醫療器材產業的產值為新台幣504億元,而出口值則為新台幣276億元;預期至2011年,台灣的醫療器材產值可達到2,000億台幣。為了提升醫療服務品質,衛生署訂定發布「特定醫療技術檢查檢驗醫療儀器施行或使用管理辦法」,但其中對中醫醫療器材相關規定相當不足,近年來由於科技的發達在中醫應用上無論是診斷或治療都運用了許多的儀器,但是相關醫療器材在認證規定販售及操作人員的資格方面都沒有明確的規範,故本研究針對國內外文獻及政府單位制度的研究與國內業者及銷售人員醫師的問卷調查,並使用AHP的統計分析方式,找出一套較完整的中醫醫療儀器使用資格的建議,使得中醫的醫療及研究未來可以科學化。
There are technology and knowledge-intensive properties in the medical equipment industry. Its output grows up double in recent years. Output of medical equipment industry in Taiwan in 2004 is NT$50.4 billion and export value is NT$ 27.6 billion. We expected the output of medical equipment in Taiwan to achieve NT $200 billion by 2011. In order to advance the quality of medical services, the Department of Health, Executive Yuan issued "specific medical technology inspects of administration of medical equipment or uses management approach ", but it has not enough relevant regulations of medical equipment in Chinese medicine. The application of Chinese medicine uses a lot of equipments for diagnosis or treatment due to technological development in recent years, but certification of relevant medical equipment has not definite clearly standard of selling and operators’ qualifications. This study focuses on the research of domestic and foreign literatures and government agency system, and questionnaires of domestic dealer and physician. And this study used Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to find a complete set of the operation qualifications of the medical equipments in Chinese medicine. It can make medical and research in Chinese medicine scientific in the future.
