Due to the concern of regional unbalance relating to healthcare resources, the government has set up a plan to expand public healthcare services and a policy to manage the supply of hospital beds. However, it is not clear what standards are needed to measure the degree of unbalance, and to what extent the gap needs to be narrowed. Unlike the previous methodology comparing the proportions of patients who move out from their administrative district to receive medical services, this study examines the inconvenience gap patients experience when they have to move out from their actual living area. The logit and multinomial logit models are employed. The regional unbalance decreases when the degree of movement is measured based on the living area. This result implies that essential standard for achieving regional balance relating to medical services need to be based not on the even distribution of medical resources, but the complications of regional people that require proper medical services.

This study investigated the awareness and purchase status of the private dental insurance. Self-reported survey was conducted with patients over the age of twenties who visited dental institutions located in Seoul Metropolitan City and Gyeonggi Province. The demographic and health related characteristics of respondents were analyzed, and logistic regression was conducted to examine factors affecting the awareness and purchase of private dental insurance. Because only four years had been passed since the introduction of private dental insurance, the awareness and purchase rate was found to be low. However, the number of people considering subscription due to the economic burden of dental care service was relatively high. Factors affecting awareness were satisfaction of the national health insurance, purchase of private health insurance and private dental insurance, self-perceived dental health status, and smoking. The variables affecting purchase of dental insurance were age, awareness, purchase of private health insurance, smoking, number of visits to dental institution. Because qualitative and quantitative change would be made in the dental care utilization due to the rapidly growing dental insurance subscribers, further studies regarding the trend of purchase rate of private dental insurance and the effect of dental insurance on use of dental institution are needed.

Cooperative associations are established in order to enhance the rights and the interests of their members and serve the local communities, and actually do much for the local society. And among these, consumer cooperatives are spontaneously founded, particularly in the spirit of mutual help, in order to promote the common welfare of the members. Meanwhile, because the current medical law qualifys noncommercial corporation to open medical institution, consumer cooperative and noncommercial- corporation cooperative which are established under the Cooperative Act have the right to do. However, though cooperative association should be founded for common interests of the members who are weaker parties of society, it became rapidly to be abused as means of circumvention of law. Especially as National Health Insurance Corporation stepped up the investigation and the collection of unfair profits against the hospital owned by non-medical personnel who are unable to establish a medical institution, setting up medical institutions as a roundabout way to avoid the restricts dramatically increased in number. In this study, we are going to introduce the current dualised normative system regulating the establishment of a medical cooperative association, and find a way to improve the system and make up for the week points. And we will look though the present situation about medical cooperative association's opening, operating, and closing, and review the normative and systematic improving plans.

한국의 농촌 보건의료 문제를 해결 하기위하여 일차보건의료가 도입되었으며 일차보건의료에서 핵심적인 역할을 수행하고 있는 보건진료원의 활동을 분석하였다. 분석 목적은 보건진료원의 일반현황과 보건진료원 활동에 대한 구체적인 분석을 통하여 활동개선 방안을 제시하는데있다. 분석방법은 사회조사 방법을 적용하였으며 조사는 1998년 7월과 11월기간에 구조화된 설문지를 보건진료원 전원에게 송부하여 스스로 작성하게 하였다. 1880명의 보건진료원을 대상으로 설문지를 배포하였으며, 1663명의 응답자가 작성한 설문지가 최종분석되었으므로 분석율은 88.5%였다. 분석결과 보건진료원의 일반현황으로 광역사의 보건진료원 평균 연령은 39.7세이며 시지역 보건진료원의 연령이 군지역보다 높았으며 통계적으로도 유의한 차이가 있었다. 총근무기간도 시지역의 보건진료원의 12.4년-13.6년으로 농촌지역보다 걸었으며 통계적으로도 유의한 차이가 있었다. 보건진료원의 평균 관할 인구수는 901명이었다. 보건진료소 관할지역의 노인인구 및 만성질환자의 분포가 매우 높았다. 보건진료소로부터 민간의료기관이 위치한 거리는 시지역 (7.1-11.3km) 보다 농촌지역이 12.1km로서 지리적 접근성이 시지역보다 낫은 것으로 나타났다. 활동건수분석결과 월평균 가정방문수는 평균 47.8건, 일평균 내소자수는 14.1건 및 일평균 전화상담은 5.2건으로 나타났다. 연령별 활동수준은 40세이상이 4세 이하보다 월평균 가정방문수와 일평균 내소자수가 많았으며 통계적요로도 유의한 차이가 있었다. 경력이 많을수록 일평균가정 방문수 및 전화상담 건수가 많았으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 근무조건에 대한 만족도는 80%정도로 높았다. 연구결과 보건진료원의 활동지역내 노인인구 및 만성질환자의 비율이 높고 민간의료기관의 지리적 접근성도 낮고, 관할인구규모가 적어서 인구규모를 늘리고 노인 및 만성질환자 건강관리 프로그램의 개발이 더욱 요구되며 농촌지역주민의 건강관리자로서 보건진료원의 활동을 강화할 필요가 있다.

Healthcare is one of the most concerned fields in convergence environments. The technologies related with information communication regions are progressing continuously. These technologies in today are converged with different industries in rapidly. Therefore, in this paper, we described current trends and future of healthcare services which was converged IT technology with medical industry.
