Visualization Analysis of Medical Resource Utilization for Long-Term Care Services

In recent years, an increasingly obvious in population aging phenomenon has enhanced a gradual rise in old age population dependency ratio. Hence, a study on resource-related long-term care (LTC) has become an important issue that our government should explore urgently. Data sours LTC-related open government data were collected from the government. Taiwan's county finds out if such national resources are sufficient in the advent of active aging? The values calculated through the model are stored in the database and the results shown in the forms of Taiwan maps. The research findings are as follows: Currently, the county/city utilization rate of long-term care institutions is more than 60%; the highest utilization rate achieved by caring organization is Hsinchu County, and the lowest is Yilan County; the highest utilization rate achieved by home care services is Hsinchu County, and the lowest is Pingtung County; and the highest utilization rate achieved by day care institutions is Kaohsiung City, and the lowest is Taitung County.
