As of January 2022, 16.91% of Taiwan's population was over the age of 65, and a 2017 study indicated that 94.2% of patients who required long-term care in Taiwan received home care. This study produced a "post-home care patient information survey" to understand the characteristics of home care patients and the volume and results of home care and investigate the relationships between them. Different diagnoses were found to have no significant effect on the volume or results of home care. Positive correlations were found between the services patients required and the volume of home care and specific results. Volume and specific results were also positively correlated. The termination of home care was primarily due to medical needs (98.6%). As the Taiwanese population ages, home care must be improved, and the conditions for which patients can receive home care should be expanded. Care services should replace diagnoses in determining benefit standards for home care payments.
截至 2022 年 1 月，台湾 16.91%的人口年龄在 65 岁以上，2017 年的一项研究表明，台湾 94.2%需要长期护理的患者接受了家庭护理。本研究产生了“居家护理后患者信息调查”，以了解居家护理患者的特征、居家护理的数量和结果，并调查它们之间的关系。不同的诊断对居家护理的数量或结果没有显著影响。患者所需服务的数量与居家护理的数量和具体结果呈正相关。数量和具体结果也呈正相关。居家护理的终止主要是由于医疗需求（98.6%）。随着台湾人口老龄化，必须改善家庭护理，扩大患者可以接受家庭护理的条件。护理服务应取代诊断，作为确定家庭护理支付福利标准的依据。
