In this study, we develop clinical pathways for test and medical treatment items of acute appendicitis patients in emergency room. In order to develop the clinical pathways, we first employ the order selection method by Park et al. (2010), and then display the selected orders in such a way that associated orders are tied together. More specifically the order selection method that we employ is based on lift and, starting from the orders with higher frequencies, sequentially removes the negatively associated orders with lift values less than 0.9. The way associated orders are selected and tied together is similar to that of the order selection method. More specifically, starting from the selected orders with higher frequencies, the orders with lift values greater than 1.1 are considered associated and displayed to the right of the corresponding order. Therefore, in the diagram of clinical pathways, the orders at the left hand side, in principle, are not associated with each other and upper orders have higher frequencies, and associated orders are located to the right of corresponding order at the left hand side and more left orders, in principle, have higher frequencies.

In this study, we propose a new order selection method for clinical pathway development in acute appendectomy. This method is based on the lift concept which is popular in association rule discovery and, starting from the orders with more frequencies, sequentially removes the negatively associated orders which have lift values somewhat less than one. The orders in acute appendectomy we consider in this study are test and medical treatment items respectively, and since there are different order patterns before, during, and after operation, three different order selections are made for each. The selection results are somewhat different from those selected only by the order of more frequencies. Specifically, the selection results of two methods are different in 1 or 2 orders for medical treatment items and in maximum 5 orders for test items, respectively.

In the anaerobe identification, when we develop the clinical decision support system for department of laboratory medicine, we must consider expression of an incomplete knowledge structure and addition of an evolving knowledge based on an expert's informal and heuristic knowledge is very complicated work flow. In the present study, we developed the system for anaerobe identification to advise on identification of unknown bacillus using knowledge base and inference engine. In the future, we are planning to develop the clinical decision support system for the whole bacteria not only an anaerobe but also aerobe to offer an expert's static and dynamic knowledge.

This study examined the fitness of a path model on the relationship among critical thinking, career identity, nursing professional self-concept, satisfaction of clinical practice, and clinical practice competency for nursing students. The subjects consisted of 581 nursing students and data was collected through self-report questionnaires. The data was analyzed by the SPSS and AMOS programs. Critical thinking, career identity, nursing professional self-concept, and satisfaction of clinical practice showed a direct effect on clinical practice competency for nursing students. Critical thinking and career identity showed an indirect effect on clinical practice competency for nursing students. Critical thinking and career identity showed a direct effect on nursing professional self-concept and satisfaction of clinical practice for nursing students. We consider the cause which affects the clinical practice competency of student nurses and study on the reasonable and effective curriculum and teaching and learning program.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship among major satisfaction (MS), clinical competence (CC), career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMS), and career decision level (CDL) for undergraduate nursing students. A self-report instrument was used to measure MS, CC, CDMS, and CDL. Questionnaires were completed by 307 nursing students in three nursing colleges, and path analysis was employed to validate the proposed model and analyze the causal relationships among variables. Four constructs (MS, CC, CDMS, and career decision) were analyzed. To build a path model, MS and CC were linked to CDMS and career decision. The initial analysis suggested that the modification needed modification; therefore, a covariance link was added. The overall goodness of fit for indices indicated satisfactory path analysis. The indices were revealed as $x^2=2412$, GFI=0.996, AGFI=0.961, and RMSEA=0.068. As a result, the proposed model was acceptable with a good fit, and there were significant direct and indirect effects of paths in the model. Specifically, MS and CC had a direct influence on CDMS, and MS and CDMS directly affected CDL. Moreover, MS and CC had indirect effects on CDL through CDMS. These results imply that students' CDMS should be seriously considered when designing counseling programs for career guidance, and substantiality of CC education is needed to improve CDMS. These results may provide a practical guideline to provide educational intervention for nursing students.

This study is convergence study about the effect path of relationship among satisfaction with biological nursing science, satisfaction with major nursing subject, critical thinking disposition, satisfaction with major and clinical competence. The survey was performed on 203 nursing students in three college. Data was collected using a structured questionnaires in May 2018 and analysed with PASW 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. Model fit indices were in good agreement with recommended level(${\chi}^2/DF=1.093$, GFI=.992, AGFI=.968, RMSEA=.021, CFI=.998, NFI=.983). Base on the path model, satisfaction with biological nursing science showed a direct effect on satisfaction with major nursing subject(${\beta}=.345$), satisfaction with major nursing subject showed a direct effect both on critical thinking disposition(${\beta}=.272$) and satisfaction with major(${\beta}=.277$), critical thinking disposition showed a direct effect both on satisfaction with major(${\beta}=.365$) and clinical competence(${\beta}=.582$), satisfaction with major a direct effect on clinical competence(${\beta}=.228$). In conclusion the biological nursing science satisfaction has eventually improved clinical competence. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply various teaching methods that can increase satisfaction with biological nursing science.

Purpose: This is develop a critical pathway as an useful alternative to the previous management system in order to restriction of medical resources, high expectation of ordinary people to health and application for DRG. Method: In order to preliminary critical pathway, we analyzed 30 cases of medical records of patients who had lobectomy and pneumonectomy at the Yonsei Medical Center in Seoul. An expert validity test was taken for the preliminary critical pathway, and clinical validity test was also done. After these processes, the final critical pathway was developed. Result: Among 10 cases, one was excluded in this study due to the complication after operation. 7 of total 9 patients were discharged earlier than the expected day, 1 patient was just discharged at the expected day, and 1 patient was discharged 4 days later than the expected day at the 12th day after operation. Conclusion: The critical pathway is developed without difficulty because the posoperative management for patients with lobectomy and pneumonectomy is uncomplicated. Therefore, if it is more researched on the clinical application, then the activity of C.Q.I. will be able to sustain the patient oriented management system.

Objectives: To standardize treatment, improve quality of medical service, and reduce medical costs of patients with depression by developing a clinical pathway (CP) of Korean medicine. Methods: CP was developed based on clinical practice guideline (CPG) for depression. To consider the degree of economic burden and satisfaction, the current status of management for patients with depression was examined. After CP was primarily developed, contents of the CP were supplemented by referring to previously developed CPs. Results: Based on CPG, current status survey and previous CP, four types of CP (Korean medicine clinics, Korean medicine hospitals, Western-Korean medicine collaborative hospitals, public medical center) were developed and shown in the algorithm version. However, in the case of Korean medicine hospitals and Western-Korean medicine collaborative hospitals, CPs were detailed according to different clinical scenes of outpatients and inpatients. This study also shows six different time task matrix version. Conclusions: CP for depression is expected to not only reduce financial burden of patients and health insurance, but also increase the quality of treatment and satisfaction.

In case of wireless sensor networks being applied to a target environment having continuous data transfer, high-speed data transmission and processing is necessary to meet increased bandwidth needs. This paper proposes a novel multipath routing algorithm to increase the bandwidth of continuous data stream for the wireless sensor network using dual channel routers. We evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm in the wireless sensor network using the dual channel touter based on ZigBee protocol. According to the experimental evaluation, the proposed algorithm showed outstanding performance enhancement with the bandwidth of 150kbps, which is about twice of existing single channel router.
