摘要

目標：本研究希望藉著瞭解精神分裂症患者使用精神醫療服務與醫療費用相關資料，作為發展精神醫療照護體系的參考。方法：利用國家衛生研院全民健保資料庫抽樣歸人檔，10萬人從1996至2000年全民健保門、住診申報資料，取出精神分裂症患者五年精神醫療住院治療就醫資料進行資料。並以1996至1998年精神分裂症患者第一次就醫門診後滿一年與滿二年就醫資料，進行患者門診與住院醫療利用與費用之分析探討。結果：1996至2000年平均住院日數與平均醫療費用大致呈現下降的趨勢。平均住院日數由40.8天下降為36.0天；平均醫療費用由64089元下降為57276元。1996至1998年第一次門診後滿一年與滿兩年使用門診比率為75.7%與77.9%，平均門診人次為9.0與15.3；使用住院治療比率為10.9與15.4%，再住院率則為10.3%與32.7%。結論：本研究精神分裂症患者之精神醫療服務利用與醫療費用分析結果的資訊可提供檢討精神醫療照護體系改革之用。
