Abstract

In this paper the factors are analyzed, which influenced on the acceptance of Electronic Medical System (EMR) of healthcare organization in Korea. The measured variables and factors were defined on the base of former research works. The questionnaires with Likert's 5 scale were administrated in the 102 general hospitals in Korea. This data was analyzed with SPSS v. 20. According to the result of factor analysis, the 4 influencing factors were grouped. They are, "ICT-infrastructure of healthcare organization", "Management strategy of healthcare organization", "EMR acceptance" and "EMR-performance". 5 hypotheses about the correlations between factors were formulated and analyzed with structural equation model(SEM). The result of this paper could be the good reference to the healthcare organizations on how they should implement and operate the EMR system.

본 연구에서는 의료기관에서 진료의 질 향상을 위해 도입하고 있는 전자의무기록 (Electronic Medical Record : EMR)시스템의 수용 및 활용을 결정짓는 요인들을 분석하였다. 전자의무기록에 대한 기존 연구를 바탕으로 하여 측정변수와 요인들을 정의하였고, 현재 EMR시스템을 구축하여 운용하고 있는 종합병원으로 부터 수집된 데이터로 실증분석을 하였다. 요인들 사이의 상관관계를 분석하기 위하여 연구모델을 구축하였고, 이를 바탕으로 요인들 사이의 관계를 규정하는 가설을 설정하였고, 이 가설들을 구조방정식 (Structural Equation Model : SEM)을 통해서 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면 EMR시스템의 수용 결정에 영향을 미치는 요인은 의료기관의 경영전략 이고, EMR시스템의 수용은 EMR시스템의 경영성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판명되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 한국의 의료기관들이 EMR시스템을 구축하거나 운용하는데 있어서 중요한 참고자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
