Trials initiated for urgent healthcare facilities
In a move to address the concerns of healthcare professionals and improve the quality of care, urgent care centers across Taiwan will be increasing pay for doctors and nurses. This decision comes in response to demands from medical staff who have been advocating for better compensation.
However, a bonus of NT$2,000 per additional shift is being viewed as below the legally mandated overtime pay. This has led many nurses to prefer rest over working for an extra shift, as the current bonus does not adequately compensate for the additional hours worked.
Previously, the president of the Taiwan Union of Nurses Association, Chen Li-chin, expressed reservations about the promised subsidies for nurses. The union is open to working with the government to improve healthcare quality but wants a more substantial offer to demonstrate sincerity.
The measure aims to reduce Class 4 and Class 5 patients in emergency rooms by 20%. This is part of a larger initiative to alleviate overcrowding in emergency departments by establishing new emergency centers in various cities and regions across Taiwan. Unfortunately, the search results do not contain information about which specific locations will be receiving these newly established centers.
The agency is collaborating with several organizations and healthcare workers for the program's preparation. The goal is to provide a more efficient and effective healthcare system for the people of Taiwan.
As the details of the plan unfold, it is hoped that the increased pay and the establishment of new urgent care centers will not only attract more healthcare professionals but also improve the overall quality of care for patients in Taiwan.
