Abstract

Ten animal hospitals in Seoul were selected, and of which 41,305 practice in total for recent 1 year were analyzed based on international classification of disease(ICD) of WHO. Of the entire practice, prophylaxis cases accounted for 42.2%. Of the 9,376 cases of internal diseases, digestive system diseases accounted for 4,957 cases(52.9%), respiratory system diseases 1,776 cases(18.9%), circulatory system diseases 1,239 cases(13.2%), and neoplasms diseases 413 cases(4.4%), respectively. In the estate investment expenses, to be specific, rental guarantee deposit accounted for about 50% of the entire estate cost, foregift(48%), and monthly rent(2%). Dividing the income of animal hospitals into medical service, articles selling, and pet-dog beauty, medical service accounted for 71.6% of the entire sales, selling of articles 16.7%, and pet-dog beauty 11.6%. Publicity work for the animal hospital was done mostly through web sites on internet(47%), then through local advertising papers(23.5%), and through bulletins and telemarketing(11.8%). Manpower of the animal hospitals in this study was mostly composed of veterinarians(45.5%) up to about half of the entire staffs, while there was no veterinary technician who had specialized education in that area.

동물병원에서 행해진 진료현황, 총 41,305건에 대해 WHO의 질병분류법(ICD)에 따라 검증한 결과 예방의학이 42.2%, 피부질환이 16.4%, 소화기계가 12.0%, 이과(耳科)가 8.5%, 호흡기계 질환이 4.3%이었다. 내과질환에서는 내원한 진료 중에서 소화기계 질환이 호흡 52.9% 기계 질환이 18.9%, 순환기질환이 13.2%, 종양이 4.4%순이었다. 피부질환 총 6,774건 중에서 농피증이 50%, 외부기생충증이 12.2%, 피부사상균증이 11.0%, 알레르기성 피부병이 9.8%이었다. 동물병원의 수입을 진료부분과 용품 판매, 애견 미용 등 크게 3부분으로 구분하였을 때 전체 매출의 71.6%가 진료부분, 용품의 판매가 16.9%, 애견 미용이 11.5%를 차지하였다. 동물병원의 홍보 형태는 인터넷 웹사이트를 통한 홍보가 47%로 가장 많았으며, 지역광고지가 23.5%, 전단지와 전화통신 서비스가 11.8% 순이었다. 동물병원의 인적구성에서는 수의사가 절반정도인 45.5%를 차지하였으며 전문적인 교육과정을 거친 수의테크니션은 없었다. 동물병원의 시설구획에서는 평균 진료실은 2.7실, 입원실은 1.7실, 격리입원실은 0.5실이었고 이외 수술실과 방사선촬영실을 병용하는 동물병원도 있었고 일반 처치실의 시설은 미흡하였다.
