    Abstract: Objective: To examine the effect of participating in Taiwan Quality Indicator Project (TQIP) on hospital
    effi ciency and investigate why hospitals participate in TQIP.
    Methods: Our sample consists of 417 private not-for-profi t hospitals in Taiwan during the 2001–2007
    period. A simultaneous-equation model was performed to examine if hospitals that participated in TQIP
    were more effi cient than hospitals that did not and investigate which variables affected the probabilities
    of hospitals’ participation in the project.
    Results: Our fi ndings indicate that participating hospitals are more effi cient than hospitals not participating
    in TQIP. In addition, hospital effi ciency, hospital size, teaching status, and hospital age are positively
    related to participation in the project. These empirical results can be used as supporting evidence
    of success in improving performance through creating quality for hospitals that have participated in the
    project and offer insights into the value and strengths of the project. In addition, in recent years, reimbursement
    systems worldwide have partly moved payment methods to a pay-for-performance mechanism.
    In an attempt to control costs and improve quality, the policy makers should consider participating
    in Quality Indicator Project (QIP) as being one of the criteria to be reimbursed for performance.
    Key words: Taiwan Quality Indicator Project (TQIP), hospital performance, quality
