The purpose of this study is to establish teaching hospital accreditation standards anew with the hope that Taiwan's teaching hospitals can live up to the expectations of our society and ensure quality teaching.
The development process lasted two years, 2005-2006, and was separated into three stages. The first stage centered on leadership meetings and consensus building, the second on drafting the new standards with expert focus groups, and the third on a pilot study and subsequent revision.
Our new teaching hospital accreditation standards have six categories and 95 standards as follows: educational resources (20 items), teaching and training plans and outcomes (42 items), research and results (9 items), development of clinical faculty and continuing education (8 items), academic exchanges and community education (8 items), and administration (8 items).
The new standards have proven feasible and posed reasonable challenges in the pilot study. We hope the new standards will strengthen teaching and research, and improve the quality of hospital services at the same time.
本研究旨在重新制定教学医院评鉴标准,冀望台湾地区教学医院能不负社会大众的期待,确保教学品质。
发展过程历经二年(2005-2006 年),分为三个阶段,第一阶段以领导会议及共识形成为主,第二阶段以专家焦点团体方式草拟新评鉴标准,第三阶段则为试办及修订。
我们的新教学医院评鉴标准共有六大项 95 条标准,分别为教学资源(20 条)、教学与训练计划及成果(42 条)、研究与成果(9 条)、临床教师发展与继续教育(8 条)、学术交流与社区教育(8 条)、与行政(8 条)。
新评鉴标准在试办阶段已证明可行且具挑战性。我们希望新评鉴标准能强化教学与研究,并同时提升医院服务的品质。
