1996년 이후부터 전산화단층촬영 검사가 건강보험급여대상이 되면서 이용률과 보급률이 더욱 증가되고 있으며 검사범위의 확대, 검사시간의 단축, 반복검사의 용이성, 이용의 편리성, 결과의 신뢰성, 장치의 구조적인 요소 및 검사 시행 횟수의 증가 등으로 검사량이 증가되고 있는 실정이다. CT 검사 건수의 증가요인으로 새로운 CT장비의 개발과 더불어 급격한 장비도입 증가 추세가 있으므로 이에 본 연구에서는 의료기관 종별 및 시기별 CT 장치 보유현황과 검사료간의 관계를 파악하였다. CT 장비는 병원급은 증가하고 있는 추세이나 의원급은 감소하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. CT진료비 청구는 80%이상이 종합전문요양기관과 종합병원에서 청구하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고가의료영상 진단 장비인 CT의 세대별 발달장비 도입 시기에 따른 우리나라 CT의 현황을 조사 분석하여 제시하여 고가의료장비 수급의 정책수립의 계기 및 기여하고자 한다.

This study examined the relationship between the number of medical technologists and the medical test count. Data was obtained from 441 medical technologists in a hospital through a self-reported questionnaire. The Pearson correlation test, student's t-test, ANOVA or descriptive statistics were performed for data analysis. The distribution of medical technologist according to the size of hospitals was small 5.8, medium 14.9, large 25.8, and super 45.4. The analysis demonstrated a relationship between the number of medical technologists and the number of medical tests in the field, number of clinical tests per MT, and number of optimal medical test per MT according to the hospital size (P<0.001). The average time for quality control by the department at a higher hospital was less than two hours. In terms of the satisfaction of salary, work environment, test accomplishment, and welfare service, the dissatisfaction of medical technologists in small and medium hospitals was higher than those in large and super hospitals. Overall, a focus on intensifying systemic supplementation and improving the condition of medical technologists is needed to provide reliable data for medical examinations in medical areas.

This study analyzes the impact of competitions clinics on the total treatment cost and anti-biotics prescription rate. The result of implementing the basic statistics, correlations, and regression analysis by facilitating the evaluation data by Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service in 2015 for acute otitis media in children is shown as follows. First, there is a significant difference for each si-gun-gu for the competition index between total treatment cost and clinics, but there is almost no significant difference for the anti-biotics prescription rate. Second, competition in clinics has statistically important impact on the total examination cost And, third, competition in clinics has no statistically important impact on the anti-biotics prescription rate. There is a need for additional studies on re-examination rate, treatment cost per visit and so forth in order to clarify other factors of competition for medical institutions impacting on the physician behavior in the future studies.
