Abstract
Taiwan's medical system has the function of connecting the whole Taiwan on the construction, so doctors can observe and seek medical treatment immediately. Such a process can be helpful for real-time information of patients. The main concern behind this system is that hackers may leak patients' personal information, leading to patients' personal privacy rights. In the case of COVID-19 in 2020, Taiwan began to introduce a medical tracking system, which includes the patient's medical records and data uploaded to the health insurance system database; so that doctors can visit the patient's medical records related to the patient's medical treatment and the relevant prescription records. Is this a good system for patient rights? Is there a problem with the patient's right to privacy? Our study found a positive correlation between health system privacy, information sharing, physician prescribing decisions, and consumer satisfaction. The number of samples investigated in this paper was N=270, and the main responses were 253, with a recovery rate of 97%.
