Bariatric surgery is the only therapy that providessignificant cost savings within Public Health Service, but the lack of diagnostic paths universally accepted causes enormous waste ofresources and disruptions. Service Mapping is the ideal methodology to describe work＇s organization and to plan a new service model.Methods： The Service Mapping has been used to represent the actual state of the bariatric surgery service and starting from the criticalaspects found, we have developed a desirable state of the service. Results： Experience-based design has given centrality to thebeneficiary, making the bariatric service sensitive to patient＇s needs and expectations. The micro-organization of work has improvedprofessionals＇ integration, avoiding the creation of new operational entities or additional costs. The service has been simplified both forclinicians and hospital managers. The strategic repositioning of the dietician and general practitioner＇s recognition within the bariatricpath allowed us to achieve better clinical outcomes. Conclusions： Service Mapping has highlighted clinicians＇ difficulties in providingthe service, emphasizing the importance of the beneficiary. The iconic representation is a powerful explicit framework, fundamental formanagement purposes, to understand the role of every subject involved in the service, to rationalize work＇s organization, and integratehealthcare activities.展开更多

The purpose of this research aims to discuss the public awareness of hierarchical medical system in Taiwan for the reference of health policy makers. We obtained our research data using a questionnaire survey;the total number of qualified patients was 1340. This research finds that more subjects agreed to the hierarchical medical system and medical referral system, but many people still disagreed with changes to their healthcare seeking choices due to policy promotion. Subtle changes, therefore, are observed that imply a crisis in terms of the trust in healthcare. The healthcare seeking behavior will not change if there is a difference between the medical awareness of patients and policy implementation, and the government needs to be concerned with this result when making policies.展开更多
