Over the years Korean health care system has improved in delivery of quality care to the general population for many areas of the health problems. The system is now being recognized in the world as the most cost effective one. It is covered by the uniform national health insurance policy for which most people in Korea are mandatory policy holders. Genetic counseling service, however, which is well recognized as an integral part of clinical genetics service deals with diagnosis and management of genetic condition as well as genetic information presentation and family support, is yet to be delivered in comprehensive way for the patients and families in need. Two major obstacles in providing genetic counseling service in korean health care system are identified; One is the lack of recognition for the need for genetic counseling service as necessary service by the national health insurance. Genetic counseling consumes a significant time in delivery and the current very low-fee schedule for physician service makes it very difficult to provide meaningful service. Second is the critical shortage of qualified professionals in the field of medical genetics and genetic counseling who can provide the service of genetic counseling in clinical setting. However, recognition and understanding of the fact that the scope and role of genetic counseling is expanding in post genomic era of personalized medicine for delivery of quality health care, will lead to the efforts to overcome obstacles in providing genetic counseling service in korean health care system. Only concerted efforts from health care policy makers of government on clinical genetics service and genetic counseling for establishing adequate reimbursement coverage and professional communities for developing educational program and certification process for professional genetic counselors, are necessary for the delivery of much needed clinical genetic counseling service in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a plan for establishing SR (systematic review, hereinafter called SR) support services in domestic university libraries through a case study of SR support services in overseas university libraries. For this purpose, a total of 119 overseas university libraries were divided into all fields (subjects and disciplines) and the medical field. And A total of 10 areas such as service fields, service subjects, public relations, librarian roles (counselors, collaborators), education, librarian introduction, team member, application form, SR theoretical content, and others were divided and investigated. As a result, the SR support service of the university libraries being investigated is expanding from the medical field to academic fields such as natural science, engineering, and social science. It was confirmed that there were differences in service support hours, services, and whether co-authors were recognized according to the role of the librarian. Educational services are provided to users for the SR support service with a focus on retrieval strategy and skills. In the promotion of the SR support service, the librarian must suggest that it should be included. The importance of SR support services for Korean university libraries should be emphasized through the analysis of SR support services for overseas university libraries, professional search education should be strengthened in the curriculum. Also Organizations related to university libraries such as KERIS have suggested that systematic SR education support is needed for librarians.

The Korean society is transforming into the intelligence information society rapidly during the 4th industrial revolution. But middle aged and elderly people are hard to access and accept these changes. So, the purpose of this study is to examine the Intelligence information society factors affects life satisfaction among the elderly by moderating effect of on/offline social capital. This study analyzed data of 2,303 people between the ages over 50 from the 2018 Digital Divide Survey conducted by the National Information Society Agency (NIA) using SPSS26.0. The result showed that sex, age, education, household type, Intelligence information society perception, expectation, anxiety are significantly effected life satisfaction. Also on/offline social capital had moderating effect between intelligence information society and life satisfaction. Based on the results of this study proviedes a basis for developing a success model for elderly people who accepts the intelligence information society. Also, this study identifies the implications and future studies are suggested.

This study searched for the status of medical Systematic Review(SR) publications in Korea and elsewhere for last 10 years, closely analyzing SR research papers by co-authors of Korean librarians. Through interviews with Korean librarians participating in SR, the activities, roles, and difficulties of these librarians were identified, and the results of the interviews helped explore new ways to promote collaboration in SR research. The result of the studied showed that the number of domestic and foreign SR studies has recently increased, and the number of cases where Korean librarians participated in SR research being officially credited as a co-author or acknowledgment source was also grow. The SR librarians in the Korean medical libraries were not only search experts, data collectors, and reference writers, but also did various activities such as designing search strategies, SR search records with complete reproducibility, and DB search tutorship. To promote SR support librarians participated in the interview suggested recruiting new librarians, retraining current librarians, and reformation courses in library and information science. As it is expected that the level of information demand of users and expectations for librarians would also increase in near future, SR librarians' activities and contributions seem to offer a guideline for academic library services that the others should pursue.

‘도서관탐방’팀은 가급적 모든 관종의 도서관을 골고루 소개하려고 한다. 그런데 지난 1월 이 지면이 신설된 이후 아직 가보지 못한 관종이 특수도서관이었다. 병영도서관 또는 점자도서관은 언론 등에서도 자주 다루어지고 있어 우선 순위를 교도소도서관 또는 환자도서관에 두었는데 알고 보니 교도소도서관은 여러 여건상 일반인이 접근하기 어려웠다. 관종 구분을 하는 경우 병원(의학)도서관은 전문도서관으로 분류된다. 하지만 병원 입원 환자들에게도 일부 서비스를 제공하고 있는 경우에는 특수도서관의 목적을 조금이나마 수행하고 있는 곳이라 할 수 있다. 전문이용자용 ‘맞춤형 교육’ 제공에서 환자용 ‘병실이동문고’ 운영에 이르기까지 병원 모든 가족들의 정보 ‧ 문화 ‧ 복지의 종합센터 역할을 책임지고 있는 삼성의학정보센터를 이번에 다녀왔다.

최근 고령화의 가속화로 인해 의료비의 부담이 증가하고 있는 가운데 의학기술의 발전과 소득 수준이 증가함에 따라 복지수요가 확대되면서 건강관리와 예방 중심의 헬스케어 서비스를 추구하고 있다. 그리고 이러한 헬스케어 트렌드와 스마트기기 보급의 확산이 맞물리면서 스마트기기와 개인건강 기기를 활용하여 의료서비스와 IT간의 융복합을 통한 스마트 헬스케어 서비스가 널리 주목받고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 건강기기 표준에 따른 스마트TV를 기반으로 하는 여러 스마트 헬스케어 서비스를 제시하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to summarize the results of a survey for physicians with specialties other than radiology about imaging studies of patients referred from other institutions. The survey was promoted through individual contacts or social network service and physicians who voluntarily responded to the survey were the subjects of the study. The questionnaire consisted of 11 questions about basic information and referrals about medical imaging. A total of 160 physicians from 30 specialties participated in the survey and 95.6% of the respondents worked in tertiary care center or general hospital. Patients were frequently referred with outside medical images. The most frequently referred imaging modalities were computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, radiological reports from outside institutions were rarely referred. Most physicians thought that reinterpretation for outside imaging is necessary to acquire a secondary opinion. In conclusion, considering that outside radiological reports are frequently missing and there are high demands on reinterpretation for outside imaging, guidelines for referral of radiological reports with medical imaging, basic elements of radiological reports, and reinterpretation need to be developed.

최근 디지털 의료영상 자료들이 급격히 증가하고 의학과 임상에서 많은 병원과 기관 사이의 협업연구가 증가함에 따라 지리적으로 분산된 외부 기관과의 원격 데이터 공유 및 원격의 데이터 접근이 필요하게 되었다. 의료 장비 사이의 데이터 교환을 위한 DICOM은 외부 기관의 방화벽으로부터 의료 이미지 데이터 접근을 지원하는 보안 방법과 전송 속도 문제로 인해 협업 환경에 적합하지 않으며, 의료 이미지 데이터 관리 기능을 제공하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 그리드 기반의 협업 환경을 제안하고 웹 서비스를 이용한 그리드 데이터 관리 기능을 구현하여 의료 분야의 PACS 통합과 의료 이미지 데이터 교환 문제를 해결하였다.

시맨틱 웹 기술은 웹의 초창기부터 다양한 연구와 표준이 개발되었지만 이를 활용한 데이터 서비스 분야는 그 역사에 비해 성공 사례가 부족한 것이 현실이다. 최근 웹 2.0을 시초로 링크드 데이터의 성장, 정부의 개방형 데이터 서비스, 소셜 웹 서비스의 등장으로 인해 웹의 구조적 데이터는 폭발적으로 성장해 왔으며, 대용량 시맨틱 웹 기반 서비스에 대한 요구와 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 고에서는 킬러 애플리케이션으로서 기존 시맨틱 웹 기반 검색 기술의 문제점들을 알아보고 이를 해결하기 위해 최근 화두로 떠오르는 빅데이터(Big Data) 기술 요소인 하둡(Hadoop) 및 NoSQL을 활용하여 대용량 시맨틱 웹 데이터를 활용한 Daum의 영화/음악/인물 기반 의미 검색 및 의학 LOD를 기반한 검색 서비스 개발 사례를 제시한다. 이를 토대로 이종 모델 데이터간 연결 및 실시간 데이터 리비전 관리 등 한계점들을 살펴보고 향후 대용량 공공 데이터 활용을 위한 방향을 모색해 본다.
