2.2 Integrity Management
Integrity Management
Integrity Governance
To strengthen integrity management and uphold the credibility of the medical institution, the hospital actively promotes clean and transparent governance. All operations are carried out with a high degree of transparency and in full compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Through comprehensive risk assessments and oversight mechanisms, the hospital effectively mitigates potential risks and ensures timely disclosure and corrective action in response to major violations. These efforts help to maintain a robust and well-functioning system, thereby enhancing public trust in the institution.
As a key support unit within the national defense healthcare system, Zuoying General Hospital strictly adheres to the integrity and ethical guidelines issued by the Ministry of National Defense. High-risk units, such as procurement, finance, and pharmaceutical management, are subject to targeted risk evaluations and reinforced supervisory mechanisms. These measures ensure transparency and regulatory compliance in operational execution, further enhancing the effectiveness of the hospital’s integrity management.
Sustainable Supply Chain
All procurement cases in our hospital are conducted through open tendering in accordance with the Government Procurement Act. During the tender process, suppliers are required to comply with the ‘Zuoying Armed Forces General Hospital Engineering Procurement Specifications’, ‘Instructions for Bidding on Property and Service Procurement’, and ‘General Terms and Conditions for Internal Service Procurement Contracts’. All collaborating suppliers or contractors are not listed as disqualified vendors by the Public Construction Commission of the Executive Yuan. During the contract period, they are required to be 100% enrolled in Labor Insurance, Employment Insurance, and National Health Insurance (NHI), as well as regular contributions to the Labor Pension. They are also subject to strict compliance with the ‘Occupational Safety and Health Act’, the ‘Labor Standards Act’ and the ‘Gender Equality in Employment Act’.
Depending on the needs of the procurement strategy, some procurement cases will be handled with the ‘Most Advantageous Tender’ method, and the vendor’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) indicators (e.g., employee care, green procurement, etc.) will be included in evaluation by referring to the ‘Scoring Sheet for Procurement Evaluation Committee (Review Panel)’ by the Public Construction Commission, Executive Yuan. In the event of late delivery or unsatisfactory product inspection, the supplier will be evaluated to ensure the quality of the supplied goods.
