3. Construction of Long-term Services Related Information System
(1) Care Service Management Information System
Starting from April 2017, the Ministry adopted the Case-Mix System across all units as the standard reference to evaluate the need for long-term care for different care recipients in conjunction with Long- term Care 2.0 to expand the eligible recipient base and criterion to determine the disability grades for long-term care and payment quota. The System has been integrated into mobile device (tablet PC) for the evaluation to be carried out and the results will be automatically processed to determine the required level of long-term care need for the case in question. Through the Care Service Management Information System (hereafter referred to as Care Management Platform), the evaluation data and service records along with procedural functions such as service note for the care recipient can be linked to other systems
such as the National Physical/Mental Disability Welfare Information Integrated Platform, Social Welfare Data Matching System, Foreign Labor Searching System and so forth so as to search for matching results in different databases, thereby improving the quality and adequacy of health care and social welfare data presentation.
(2) Long-Term Care 2.0 Service Payment Audit System
In order to speed up the process of long- term care expense reimbursement and improve the overall service efficacy and quality for long-term care, the Ministry has constructed the "Long-Term Care 2.0 Expense Payment Audit System" in 2019. The system was officially launched on October 1, 2019 and it is linked to the Care Management Platform's declaration data so that responsible personnel can access the system and audit the reimbursement applications to improve the efficacy of reimbursement operations.
