The aim of this study is to investigate the key influential factors on the operating performance for medical foundation hospitals. The annual data from 2007 to 2009 of thirty-two hospitals including Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Tzu Chi Hospital, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Mackay Memorial Hospital, and Mennonite Christian Hospital etc. were collected. In order to assess operating performance, two financial performance indicators, returns on assets and medical profit ratio, were selected as dependent variables. In addition, 19 financial variables were chosen as independent variables. Using factor analysis, 5 operating characteristic indicators were extracted out of those 19 variables. The cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, general linear model with Duncan pairwise multiple comparison and regression analysis were utilized to establish evaluation model for hospital operating performance. The performance score of each hospital was calculated and compared. This research found that dividing those medical foundation hospitals into four clusters gave the best clustering effect. The performance rating from best to worst is cluster 4, cluster 3, cluster 2 and cluster 1, respectively. Finally, the overall best performances of individual hospital are Tzu Chi Hospital and Far Eastern Memorial Hospital based on the three year data.
