As the global population becomes aging, the demand for health services for the elderly is expected to increase. In particular, The elderly visiting the emergency department sometimes have complex medical, social, and physical problems, such as having a variety of illnesses or complaints of unusual symptoms. The proposed system is designed to predict the mortality of the elderly patients who are over 65 years old and have admitted the emergency department. For mortality prediction, we compare the support vector machines and Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) trained with medical data such as age, sex, blood pressure, body temperature, etc. The results of the FFNN with a hidden layer are best in the mortality prediction, and F1 score and the AUC is 52.0%, 88.6% respectively. If we improve the performance of the proposed system by extracting better medical features, we will be able to provide better medical services through an effective and quick allocation of medical resources for the elderly patients visiting the emergency department.

It has been reported that cerebral disease is the most leading to death as a single disease even though next to cancer in the most important cause of death in the country. Even if patients maintain a life without death, it will have to suffer from side effects such as hemiplegia and language disorders. In this paper, the symptoms and treatment of cerebral infarction cases are described through the medical dramas (The Third Hospital, The Brain) and movie (Amur). Even if there is the same stroke each drama or movie, depending on the previous history or current physical condition of the patient knew which treatment the law is different.

의사에게 있어 자신의 적성과 능력에 부합하는 세부 전공을 선택하는 것은 자신의 자아실현뿐만 아니라 환자들에게도 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 이것은 의과대학생들의 전공 선택을 위해 의과대학 재학 중에 이루어지는 진로개발의 중요성을 시사한다. 이 글은 의과대학생 개개인의 적성과 소질에 따른 전공 선택을 어떻게 지도할 수 있는지 단계별 진로지도 전략에 대해 고찰하였다. 전공 선택 지도의 첫 번째 단계는 자기평가이다. 자기평가는 자신의 적성과 능력에 맞는 전공을 선택하기 위해 스스로에 대한 정보를 모으고 이해하는 과정이다. 두 번째는 전공탐색 단계이다. 이 단계는 자신의 적성과 능력에 부합할 가능성이 높은 전공과목에 대한 정보를 수집하는 것이다. 세 번째는 전공 선택 단계이다. 이 과정은 학생 스스로에 대한 자기평가 결과 및 전공에 대한 탐색 결과에 기초하여 자신이 어떤 분야에 더 적합한가에 대한 의사결정을 하는 과정이다. 전공 선택을 위한 접근 방법의 마지막은 전공 영역의 수련을 위해서 자신이 결정한 전공 선택을 이행하는 단계이다. 이 단계에서는 자신이 선택한 전공영역, 그리고 전공의 수련교육과정을 제공하는 교육기관에 응시원서를 제출하고, 면접을 실시하는 과정이 포함된다. 의과대학생들이 자신의 적성과 소질에 따른 전공 선택과 의과대학생 개개인의 선택의 문제를 넘어 의료 인력의 수급, 의료서비스의 질적인 수준과 밀접하게 관련되어 있다. 그러므로 의과대학은 대학의 책무성 수행차원에서 학생들의 가치관 확립과 진로지도를 위한 체계적인 학생 진로지도 프로그램을 개발하고 학생들을 적극적으로 지원해야 한다.

기존의 온라인 심리 상담 서비스는 상담 전 내담자의 심리 상태를 정확하게 판단하지 못한다는 문제점이 있었다. 또한 자신의 심리 상태를 정확히 알고 있지 못한 내담자는 적합한 상담사에게 상담받기 어려웠다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이를 개선한 매칭 방법을 제안한다. 상담 시작 전 내담자의 상태를 정신의학 진단 기준을 바탕으로 보다 정확하게 진단한다. 내담자의 진단 결과와 상담사의 상담 분야를 바탕으로 클러스터링 한다. 동일 클러스터 내의 내담자와 상담사를 매칭하여 상담을 진행한다.

This study analyzed the efficiency of medical services in OECD member countries by dividing it into operational efficiency and quality efficiency. For this purpose, data from 2017-2019 OECD Health Statistics were used. As the analysis method, super efficiency was measured by applying an output-oriented Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) model. As a result of the analysis, Switzerland, Korea, and Italy were included in the high group of operational efficiency, Canada, Greece, Denmark, etc. in the medium group, and Belgium, Germany, and Spain in the low group. Based on quality efficiency, Norway, Switzerland, and Spain are in the high group, and Greece, Denmark, Mexico, etc. are in the medium group, and the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, etc. were included in the low group. As a result of comparative analysis of efficiency by OECD member countries as of 2018, it was found that Korea's operational efficiency was the most efficient and quality efficiency was inefficient. Korea (0.998) should improve life expectancy by 0.2 (0.2%) and subjective health perception by 44.2 (138.1%) by benchmarking Greece (0.422), Switzerland (0.207), and Spain (0.371) to improve quality efficiency. Unlike most previous studies that focused on operational efficiency, this study measured quality efficiency together and analyzed the efficiency of the medical service industry in each OECD member country. Through this, this study has implications in that it confirmed the international competitiveness of the domestic medical service industry and suggested ways to improve efficiency.

General branches of science and engineering now enjoy being substantially repleted in their databases. However, comparing the databases of such branches with chemistry or medical science and pharmacology, the strata do not seem to be fully equipped yet. As a matter of fact, the variety of such databases in practical application is still somewhat limited. Moreover, these databases are, with a few exceptions, prepared abroad. In this paper varieties and features of databases now available on the market for each database service system, as well as crucial points for practical use are introduced. At present, it is focussed more or less on the application of bibliographical information. Yet, it would be inevitable to equip them with factual data in order to increase the efficiency of research and development activities. Of course, it is still not easy to solve problems for better profitability and higher technical achievement. The author wishes to emphasize the necessity to fully equip the commercial factual database for said branches as quickly as possible.

The purpose of this study is to analyze undergraduate nursing students' electronic document use and reading behavior. To do this, a survey questionnaire was collected from 509 respondents who experienced reading behavior for the last semester. The results of this study show that nursing students' preference of electronic documents is higher than that of printed documents in general. They also prefer electronic documents to printed documents when they want to keep documents. Of respondents, about 94% or higher spent 30mins or more to find information and the main source to find information is 'Naver' search engine as the highest information source, and the place to access information is 'Home' as their highest information access location. In particular, the preference of the document 'on the move' is electronic documents and the main reason includes convenience and easiness to access and move the documents. The findings of this study expect to facilitate the understanding of undergraduate nursing students electronic document use and reading behavior so that it can be used to design and develop medical digital library services and tools more effectively and efficiently in medical area in the future. Furthermore, it expects to provide useful data in promoting user services in digital library in a whole.

The development of medical devices based on the theory of tranditional Korean medicine is increasing due to population aging and emerging demand for medical services. Various clinical trials are being conducted to ensure the clinical effectiveness of the developed medical devices, and the importance of systematic management of variously collected information in this process is increasing. In this paper, we designed and constructed the database that can systematically manage the medical information of the patient and the pulse measurement information in conducting clinical trials by using pulse analysis system which is a representative diagnostic method of traditional Korean medicine. The constructed database can be efficiently used for the verification of existing algorithms or developing new algorithms through the quality control of various information and measured data on clinical trials. It also has several advantages in the control of clinical data. The results of this study can contribute to the establishment of Korean medical device data standard for the construction of integrated database management system that can share information with different kind of pulse analysis system and other bio-signal measuring devices.

Healthcare approach in Western medicine and Korean Traditional Medicine (KTM) varies from its nature of human understanding and cultural differences. This fundamental difference in their approach of the human pathology has dualised and hindered common medical communication between the two fields of medicines. Within this current difficulty, the integrative medical service is said to become a novel method to provide the patients with the best medical care as their intent is to adapt and combine the advantages stated from the two different fields. This research paper shows the integrative approach of treating jaundice, where the symptoms of dampness and heat on Korean traditional standards are analyzed using statistical methods based on monitoring the blood test results. Therefore, we can explore an approach to diagnose and treat with comprehensive and integrative medicine algorithm.
