Abstract

Due to rapid development of medical information, a huge amount of information is being accumulated. Desires to conduct clinical researches by using this information are increasing, and medical institutions are encountering problems of aging society and drastic increase of medical expenses. Utilization of Big Data as an alternative is now being emphasized. The purpose of this study is to examine informatization of medical institutions and suggest political implications for Big Data utilization plans. Data was collected through literature searches and interviews with medical information professionals of medical institutions, from September to November, 2013, for four months. As a result of the study, it could be found that the hospital information system is improving from patient management and administration to researches and information strategies. Thus, national supports for medical expense reduction as well as fostering professional manpower should be provided, considering establishment of the system for utilization of Big Data and efficient application of unstructured data.

의료정보의 급속한 발달로 인하여 막대한 양의 정보가 쌓이고 있다. 이러한 정보를 이용하여 임상연구를 하고자하는 욕구가 늘고 있으며, 고령화와 의료비의 가파른 상승을 해결해야하는 문제에 직면해 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 빅데이터의 활용에 대한 목소리가 높다. 본 연구는 우리나라 의료기관들의 정보화 현황을 살피고 빅데이터 활용방안에 대한 정책적 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 문헌조사와 의료기관의 의료정보전문가 면담을 통해 자료를 수집하였으며, 수집기간은 2013년 9월부터 2013년 11까지 4개월간 시행하였다. 연구결과 향후 병원정보시스템은 환자관리 및 행정에서 연구와 정보전략 측면으로 발전하고 있다. 따라서 빅데이터 활용을 위한 시스템 구축과 비정형 데이터의 효과적 활용을 고려하여 전문인력 양성과 더불어 의료비 절감을 위한 국가의 정책지원이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
