최근 우리 나라 국민들의 생활수준과 의료서비스 수준이 향상되면서 평균수명이 연장되고 건강에 대한 관심과 실천노력이 일반화되면서 국민의 전반적인 건강수준은 향상되고 있다. 따라서 오늘날의 건강문제는 감염성질환이나 열악한 위생상태로 인한 위험보다는 국민의 운동부족, 불균형한 영양섭취 등 생활양식 변화와 인구의 고령화에 따른 만성퇴행성질환의 증가로 사전예방의 중요성이 커지는 쪽으로 그 양상이 바뀌어 가고 있다.(중략)

Recently, the importance of the health care industry is increasing due to the rapid changes in the population structure caused by decreasing in fertility rate and aging population. Therefore expansion of government investment in R&D of the health care industry is needed as the demand of health care is increasing. This study attempts to examine the economic impacts of national research and development for the health care industry using an inter-industry analysis. Specifically, the study investigates production-inducing effect, value added inducing effect, and employment-inducing effect of the health care industry based on demand-driven model. These analyses pay particular and close attention to the health care industry by taking it as exogenous rather than endogenous. Here we present results. First, the production-inducing effect and value added inducing effect was high in common real estate and business services and finance and insurance sector. Second, employment-inducing effect of the health care industry showed the highest levels in wholesale and retail sector, followed by the real estate and business services, agriculture sector. Third, the actual 2009 health care industry-related national R&D investment embracing on the production-inducing effect and value added inducing effect. The health care industry R&D induces the production of 4,932 billion won and the value added of 2163 billion won.

간호사업은 1970년대 후반부터 이제까지의 병원중심-환자중심의 간호사업을 수행해 오다가 지역사회에 기반을 둔 간호사업인 건강간호사업으로 전환되기 시작하였다. 세계보건기구에서도 지역사회에 기반을 둔 간호사업인 일차건강관리사업을 중점적으로 지원하기 시작한 것이다. 이러한 역사적 전환의 배경과 실태에 관하여 문헌고찰을 하여 앞으로 국민건강사업 체계에 대한 논의에 참고자료가 되게 하고자 본 논문을 시도하였다. 본 논문에서 얻어진 결과를 다음과 같이 요약한다. 고도의 과학문명의 발달과 물질적 풍요로 특징짓는 현대사회속에서도 인류의 건강문제는 영원히 충족되지 못한 상태로 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 전통적으로 60년대 중반까지는 의료지식 및 기계공업의 발달과 이를 뒷받침할 재정적 지원속에 세계적으로 치료의학분야에 획기적인 발전을 가져왔다. 다른 한편으로는 건강을 태생의 권리라고 규정하여 여러나라에서 사회보장제대로써 의료시해의 균점을 위한 각가지 방도를 마련하기에 이르렀다. 그리하여 60년대말기부터 70년대로 넘어오면서 치료의학의 발달만으로는 의료수가가 앙등되어 모든 국민이 이용할 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 나아가서는 모든 국민의 건강문제를 해결하기는 어렵다는 사실을 발견하기 시작하였다. 또한 지역사회의 건강문제를 요인별로 따져보면 복잡하여 사회경제적, 문화적, 환경적, 유전적 제요인과도 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있기 때문에 신체적인 질병의 치료만이 지역사회 건강문제를 해결하는 길이 아님을 알게 되었다 그리고 지역사회의 건강문제를 해결하기 위해서는 일차보건의료사업에 중점을 두어 노력하는 것이 가장 합리적인 개선방안이라는 의견이 경험적으로 이론적으로 뒷받침되기 시작하였다. 이러한 사조는 지역사회 건강문제가 복잡한 것과 같이 그 접근방법에 있어서도 여러보건요원이 팀이 되어 임해야만 하며 그중에서도 간호팀의 활동이 중추적인 역할을 담당해야 한다고 여러 전문가들은 주장하고 있다. 따라서 앞으로의 간호사업의 방향은 지역 사회에 기반을 둔 간호사업이 실시되어야만 국민건강문제 해결에 기여하게 될 것으로 고찰되었다.

Background: Despite the various activities of the regional public hospitals, discussions are being made as to whether or not to continue due to the issue of financial deficit. Therefore, the main factors affecting the fiscal deficit were analyzed with 10-year data. Methods: This study is a panel analysis that analyzed the characteristics of 34 regional public hospitals and influencing factors on medical benefits for 10 years from 2010 to 2019. First, we analyze the determinants of medically vulnerable areas set by the government, analyze the trend of medical profit per 100 beds and medical profit rate from 2010 to 2019, and identify the factors that affect them. Results: Differences in medical profit per 100 beds and medical profit-to-medical profit rate were caused by market share representing regional characteristics, and both indicators improved as the number of outpatients increased. The important influencing variables are the number of doctors and nurses, and both indicators improve when there are specialists, but medical benefits decrease as the number of doctors increases when judged by the number of people per 100 beds. In addition, the number of nurses per 100 beds does not contribute to medical profit and has a negative effect on the medical profit ratio. Conclusion: As only regional characteristics were taken into account for medically vulnerable areas, operational characteristics need to be considered. The greatest impact on the finances of local medical centers is the proper staffing of doctors and nurses, and their efficient arrangement is the most important factor in financial stability.

2001년 카타르 도하에서 열린 세계무역기구(WTO)의 각료회의 결과 2005년까지 보건의료 서비스분야의 시장개방 논의를 마쳐야 한다. 이에 국내 의료계는 의료공동대책위원회를 구성하여 대응방안을 모색하고 있으며, 치협도 특별위원회를 구성하여 국민 구강보건에 최선의 방향을 찾기 위해 노력을 하고 있다. 그런 노력의 일환으로 치협은 치과의사들이 현 의료시장 개방이라는 명제 앞에서, 얼마나 처해진 상황을 잘 파악하고 있으며 무엇을 원하는 가를 알기 위해 회원들의 의견을 물었다. 이번 호와 다음 호에서는 치협이 지난 4월에 회원 및 치대생 등에게 설문 조사한 결과를 중심으로 모아진 회원들의 견해를 중심으로 구강보건정책연구회에서 발표한 자료를 게재한다.

Purpose: This study assessed the status of the Development and Utilization of critical pathways (CP) in South Korea. Methods: We surveyed 195 hospitals obtained on the Korean Hospital Association website. Data were collected using structured questionnaires for staff members in charge of CP management personnel in these hospitals. The questionnaire included CP developed by the institutions, the coverage rates and completion rates of CP in the current year, and management indicators related to CP. The questionnaire also included CP support systems and content within the institutions and questions regarding the advantages of CP utilization and obstacles associated with the CP development process. Results: Analysis of the responses from 70 hospitals (35.9% response rate) showed that a total of 1,370 CP sets were developed. The number of CP related to surgery departments was 365 (26.6%), and CP related to surgery and procedure was 1,093 (79.8%), respectively. The CP coverage rate was the most frequently used indicator to monitor the effect of CP (97.1%), followed by the completion rate (90.0%) and the length of stay in hospital (61.4%). CP managers reported that CP were highly useful for communication (3.39±0.493) and accurate information provision (3.39±0.491). The perception that CP violated doctors' autonomy in treatment was relatively low (2.87±0.645). Conclusion: It is necessary to establish an infrastructure in hospitals for CP. CP can facilitate communication and provide accurate information.

The use of Bigdata plays an important role in all areas of society. Especially in the health care field, the role of Bigdata is very considerable because it deals with people's life and health. However, the interest and awareness of quality control of medical data is markedly low. Because the low-quality medical Bigdata leads to national loss and public health impairment, quality control of medical Bigdata is needed. The purpose of this research is to present the direction of medical Bigdata quality management by examining literature and cases of domestic and foreign medical Bigdata quality management practices. In addition, as a case of medical Bigdata quality control in the Y medical institution in Korea, activities of a Bigdata quality management TFT and results of a survey conducted for major data users in the hospital were presented.

Purpose: This study was conducted to understand public perception of home-based hospice and identify related factors. Methods: Between August 19, 2014 and August 30, 2014, data were collected using an E-mail questionnaire that was filled by 1,500 adults who were over 20 years of age. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$-test and logistic regression. Results: Among the respondents, 15.9% were aware of home-based hospice care, and 61.3% were willing to receive home-based hospice care. The factors that influenced the participants' willingness to use home-based hospice services included residential district, religion and private health insurance. Respondents who lived in Seoul (OR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.04~2.33), Gwangju/Jeolla province (OR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.23~3.32), Busan/Ulsan/South Gyeongsang province (OR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.17~2.82) were more well-aware of home-based hospice care than those who lived in Incheon/Gyeonggi province. The faithful were more informed about the services than those without non-faithful participants (Roman Catholics (OR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.30~3.17), Protestants (OR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.22~2.53). Participants who had a private health insurance plan knew more about the services than those without one (OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.03~2.04). Conclusion: First, it is necessary to improve perception of the public and healthcare providers regarding home-based hospice care. The government should review a measure to institutionalize operation of a palliative care team at hospitals and community home-based hospice care centers.
