*Dose not include “unknown” responses or missing responses for each variable.
Because 278 physicians in 2004 and 482 physicians in 2005 provided consultations at multiple organisations, the totals in each column may not add up to the total number of physicians.
The number of all physicians is based on the data at the end of the year 2004 published by the Department of Health, Taiwan.
Organisation level is based on the accreditation results published by the Taiwan Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation. Medical centres refer to teaching hospitals in Taiwan.
