저자들은 1978년부터 1986년까지 서울대학병원 이비인후과에 내원했던 원인불명의 돌발성 난청환자 중 추적조사가 가능하였던 60예에 대한 임상적 분석을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 60명의 환자중 45예가 입원 치료를 받았고 15예는 외래환자로 성별은 남자 36명. 여자 24명이었고 연령분포는 10대에서 50대에 걸쳐 널리 분포되었다. 2) 발생시기는 아침 기상시가 많았고 양측성인 경우는 4 예 있었다. 3) 동반증상은 이명, 이충만감, 현기증의 순으로 많았고 상기도염은 14예에서 있었다. 4) 입원치료는 prednisolone 경구투여와 저분자 dextran을 정맥주사하였고, 이중 25예는 histamine정맥주사나 heparin 피하주사를 추가로 겸용 치료하였다. 5) 청력회복의 결과는 Siegel의 분류방법을 따랐고, 입원 치료한 경우 완전회복이 6예, 부분회복이 8예, 경도호전이 9예로 23예(51.1%)에서 청력 호전이 있었다. Histamine과 heparin의 사용은 청력회복 결과를 높이지 못하였다. 외래환자의 경우는 입원치료군과 비교하는데 어려운 점이 있었으나 전체적으로 15예중 6예(40%) 에서 청력 호전이 있어서 입원 치료군이 좋은 성적을 보였다. 6) 치료의 예후에 관련된 요인으로 발병후 1주내에 치료를 시작한 경우 결과가 좋았다. 완전회복이 된 6예중 5예가 1주 내에 치료를 시작한 것이었다. 현훈이 동반된 경우는 현훈이 없는 경우보다 예후가 나빴다. 청력상이 하강형인 경우는 상승형이나 편평형보다 결과가 좋지 않았으며 내원시 고도의 심한 난청을 보인 경우는 청력회복이 거의 없었다.

This study was conducted to evaluate outpatient experiences of a general hospital and help identify the medical service status experienced by the patients in the overall process of outpatient care, and analyze the major factors influencing patient experience and perception. A total of 100 patients having more than 2 outpatient clinic visits at a university hospital from May 14, 2018 to May 28, 2018, were selected to participate in the survey, comprising 60.0% females and 40.0% males. Considering age, majority belonged to the >60 years old age group (53.0%) as compared to <59 years (47.0%). "Hospital is close by" was the highest motivation to visit the hospital (42.0%), followed by "Medical staff is skilled" (36.0%), "Recommended by another hospital" (7.0%), and "Recommended by people" being the lowest (1.0%). Taken together, the results of this study can be used as basic data to identify the issues for providing better patient-centric medical services, and to formulate plans for creating medical services that meet the patient needs and differentiated medical services.

An increase in patients' medical expenses for their injury. accident and intoxication is a major challenge to improve the sustain-ability of a national health security system, and increasing medical expenses need be suppressed through improving relevant systems and/or efficiently operating and managing the health insurance. At this juncture, in Korea which has a high rate of injury incidence and mortality, it is necessary to estimate social and/or economic costs for injuries with a focus on their social effects. This research has examined the results of a Korea medical panel investigation conducted in 2008, which largely surveyed of the actual conditions of outpatients' medical use for their injury, accident and/or intoxication and investigated relevant medical expenses, with a view to estimating the directly incurred costs when the patients use medical services and the production loss costs caused by an production decline and others, so that social and/or economic costs for injuries may be ultimately aggregated.

General anesthesia (GA) for dental care in handicapped patients is necessary to facilitate the provision of safe, efficient, and effective quality treatment. The aims of this study were to determine the anesthetic characteristics of handicapped patients in need of dental treatment in these day care units, and to establish for plan to provide better services. 325 patients who had outpatient general anesthesia from January 2005 to March 2014 were assessed for this study. Patients' distribution and treatment patterns were examined. The proportion of male patients (202, 62.2%) was higher than female patients (123, 37.8%) and the largest group of patients were 5 to 10 years old (85, 26.2%). The reasons for general anesthesia included mental and physical disabilities (207, 63.7%), behavior management (84, 25.8%), parent needs (14, 4.3%), and so on. Restorative treatment was the most common procedure with the average of 4.2 teeth treated per one patient and 43 (13.2%) patients underwent general anesthesia for dental treatment more than once. To expand and improve access to the dental care of the disabled, improvement of the health care system, enhancement of their training for dental care by professionals, and enlarging caregivers'understanding of the importance of oral care in the early stages are required.

The purpose of this study is to suggest improvement ways of outpatient process via a simulation model and to improve operational efficiency. Three experimentation scenarios were implemented into the simulation model to determine which proposed scenario provides better improvement in terms of the following performance measures: LOS(Length of Stay), patient waiting time, patient travel time, and staff utilization. The hospital medical data collection and statistical tools used to analyze the process mining tools. And the PIOS simulation tool was used and the validity of the model was verified by using t-test. The simulation results demonstrated that oupatient process of center type is most efficient. Simulation approach is a powerful technique that supports efficient decision-making compared to traditional healthcare management approach based on past experience, feelings, and intuition. Therefore, the proposed experimentation model has wide applicability in healthcare systems.

This study analyzed whether satisfaction to healthcare service quality that patients experienced in a general hospital affects recommendation on that hospital. As a result of the analysis, healthcare service quality partially affected patients' satisfaction. In addition, the satisfaction was partially positively correlated with the recommendation intention. This study has implications in that it revealed that satisfaction perceived by patients leads to recommendation intention and it suggested marketing plans necessary for hospital management performance.

Nowadays, most of the hospital serves "one stop service" for CT scan. The patients could be taken the CT scan in the day they register for scan. On the contrary to the time convenience, patients are not satisfied with long waiting time and unkindness of staff. The objective of this study is to improve the patient's satisfaction for the CT scan, by analyzing inconvenience factors and improving the service qualities. From April 1 to August 30 in 2011, we investigated the satisfaction of patients who did examined abdomen CT scan with contrast media. We analyzed the 89 questionnaires before and after the service improvements from them. The worker's kindness, the environment of CT room and understanding about CT scan were answered by questionnaire and the waiting time of a day CT scan was drawn by medical information statistics. Also, the period before improvement was from April to June and the period after improvement was from July to September. And these questionnaire was analyzed through SPSS V. 15.0. In this study, kindness of staff, environment of CT room, intelligibility for CT scan and waiting time was explored and analyzed by SPSS V.15.0. The score of kindness was improved by 32%, satisfaction level of the environment was improved by 52.54%. The understanding level about CT scan was improved by 52.36% and the wating time of a day CT was shortened by 21% through our service enhancement programs. Consequentially, it is considered that these efforts would contribute to increase the revenue of hospital.
