# Empirical Study on Hospitalist System: A Value Creation Perspective

## TL;DR

This study explores how hospitalist system awareness and motivation affect value creation in Taiwan's healthcare system.

## Contribution

The study identifies a causal chain from awareness to value creation through participation behavior in the hospitalist system.

## Key findings

- Hospitalist awareness significantly increases participation motivation (β = 0.846, p < 0.001).
- Participation behavior strongly contributes to value creation (β = 0.869, p < 0.001).
- Awareness also has a direct positive effect on value creation (β = 0.782, p < 0.001).

## Abstract

This study investigates the impact of hospitalist system awareness, motivation, and behavior on value creation within the healthcare context of Taiwan. As population aging and the prevalence of chronic diseases continue to rise, accompanied by increased medical resource consumption, the Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare introduced the hospitalist system. Despite its implementation, the number of participating hospitals remains low. Using a questionnaire survey conducted from October 2021 to March 2022, data were collected from medical teams involved in the hospitalist system. A total of 324 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The results reveal that hospitalist awareness positively influences participation motivation (β = 0.846, p < 0.001), which subsequently impacts participation behavior positively (β = 0.888, p < 0.001). Moreover, participation behavior significantly contributes to value creation (β = 0.869, p < 0.001), along with the direct effect of awareness (β = 0.782, p < 0.001) on value creation. In conclusion, the successful promotion and implementation of the hospitalist system rely heavily on the support and active participation of medical staff. Effective interactions and comprehensive information dissemination are essential for maximizing healthcare value creation.
