A good understanding of the constitution and use of donations is thus conducive to maintaining a high-quality HPC unit. Methods: The data sources were the publicly available balance sheet, work report, and donor lists of a foundation exclusively supporting one of the best HPC units in Taiwan in the fiscal year of 2017. The analysis included the donation amounts and frequencies by donor type (individual, corporate, and group) and the categories of expenses. Results: The foundation received 3033 donations worth a total of 7.8 million New Taiwan dollars (NTD) (approximately 258 thousand US dollars) in 2017. Two-thirds of the donations were allocated to the provision of direct care services. Of the 3033 donations, only 11 (0.4%) were worth 100 000 NTD or more, while 108 (3.6%) were valued between 10 000 and 99 999 NTD, 1268 (41.8%) were valued between 1000 and 9999 NTD, and 1646 (54.2%) were worth less than 1000 NTD. Of 1051 donors, 974 (92.7%) were individuals, 378 (36.0%) donated more than once, and 106 (10.1%) donated 12 or more times in one year. Conclusion: HPC services in Taiwan are sponsored by lots of individuals and small donations. For sustainability of standards-based and quality HPC services, the benevolence of the public should be thus cherished and adequately responded to. 關聯 International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Vol.34, No.4, pp.e1810-e1819 資料類型 article DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/hpm.2897 dc.contributor 財政系 dc.creator (作者) 周麗芳 dc.creator (作者) Chou, Li‐Fang dc.creator (作者) 許雅荃 dc.creator (作者) Hsu, Ya-Chuan dc.creator (作者) 張曉婷 dc.creator (作者) Chang, Hsiao-Ting dc.creator (作者) 黃信彰 dc.creator (作者) Hwang, Shinn-Jang dc.creator (作者) 陳曾基 dc.creator (作者) Chen, Tzeng-Ji dc.creator (作者) 林明慧 dc.creator (作者) Lin, Ming-Hwai dc.creator (作者) Chu, Feng-Yuan dc.date (日期) 2019-08 dc.date.accessioned 26-May-2020 13:40:02 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 26-May-2020 13:40:02 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 26-May-2020 13:40:02 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) http://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/129858 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) Background: Charitable donations play a major role in the provision of hospice and palliative care (HPC) services, most of which are not reimbursed by health insurance programs.
