With its rapid modernization and unparalleled speed of aging, South Korea faces the need for dramatic increase in its supply of nursing homes. Among the spacial components of nursing homes, residential units are considered as an essential part because the older person in nursing homes usually spend most of their time in residential units and the nursing homes are mainly composed of various residential units. It is necessary, therefore, to prepare a guideline for the plan of residential units in order to design the healthy and efficient nursing homes. This paper has first identified the concept of residential unit and analyzed 66 cases in the 62 nursing homes from 4 countries. And 4 nursing homes in Korea have been surveyed for the in-depth study. On the basis of this analysis, architectural prototypes of residential units have been proposed and the architectural characteristics of them have been compared analytically.

선박에선 의료관리자가 선박 의약품의 처방 및 관리를 하고 있으며 이는 대부분 항해사로 지정된다. 항해사의 고유 업무와 전문의료지식 부족으로 의약품 관리가 체계적으로 이루어지지 않고 수기로 기록되는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 영상인식기반의 선박 의약품 종합 관리 시스템을 개발하여 의약품 관리를 자동화하고 의료관리자의 업무 효율성을 증가시키고자 한다. 시스템은 의약품 용기·포장지를 촬영한 영상으로부터 글자를 인식하는 OCR(Optical Character Recognition) 기술을 활용한 모듈, 바코드를 인식모듈, 사용자가 검색할 수 있는 모듈로 구성되어있으며 선박 의약품을 데이터베이스화하여 전산으로 관리할 수 있다. 또한 시스템을 통하여 의약품 재고 관리를 하거나 의약품의 사용법을 확인할 수 있다.

국내에서 다양한 규모와 종류의 화학사고가 지속 발생 중이며 이 중 초동대응 실패로 피해가 확산되는 경우도 발생하면서 이에 따른 화학사고 대응능력 향상에 대한 요구가 생기게 되었다. 그러나 이는 코로나 이전의 상황이며 2020년 이후에는 코로나 19로 인한 사회 여러 분야의 변화로 새로운 개념과 방법으로서 화학사고 대비와 안전에 있어 중요하게 고려할 사항이 생기게 되었다. 화학사고와 같은 특수 상황에 대비하여, 국가적으로 코로나 19 상황 하에서의 재난의료대응 인력에 대한 해당 재난 유형에 대한 교육훈련 프로그램 및 정책이 제공되어야 하며, 재난의료대응기관에서는 현장구조자 및 응급의료진 등 재난의료대응 전문 인력의 양성을 위한 코로나 19와 같은 신종 감염병을 대비한 상황 하에서의 지침 마련, 시스템 보완, 사전 교육이 시행되어야 한다.

e-Health system is the use of information and communication technologies to provide health care information and services to stakeholders. It pursues an improvement of service quality of health care, increases of accessability of information, reduction of medical cos and enforcement of competitiveness in health care industry. There are lots of difficulties in implication of internet technology to health care process. This is because that the characteristics of health care industry is very closed and specific and also the internet technology has the very user-oriented characters. So it is necessary to have the system independent conceptual design method to combine these two characteristics. In this paper a new modified conceptual design methodology will be proposed for the successful implementation of e-health system in korean health care industry. The proposed methodology will be verified its validity and feasibility through AHP method. And the results of this research will be implied as the basis for the development and revitalization of e-Health system in Korea.

Telehealth has been a hotly debated health policy issue in South Korea, mostly because the medical community - especially primary care practitioners - have strongly opposed it. As a result, telehealth has remained forbidden under law. However, the temporary permission of telehealth in Korea, as well as its exploding use in other countries, all in response to COVID-19, is re-igniting the discussion on telehealth in Korea. This article explores general legal issues that may arise if and when telehealth is fully implemented in Korea. The article's analysis shows that legislative changes are necessary to allow reimbursement of telehealth as well as remote purchase of medicine. The article also advocates introducing new evidentiary rules to curtail covert recording of telehealth sessions. On the other hand, additional legislation is probably not necessary to address the medical liability of physicians practicing telehealth or to adress much-discussed privacy issues. The existing laws in those domains are already robust enough to operate without much difficulty in the context of telehealth too.

Under the Act on Medical Technicians, etc. in Korea, medical technicians are supposed to perform their duties under the guidance of a doctor or dentist. However, considering the actual work behavior, domestic and international trends, and the level of education of medical technicians, professionalism must be recognized. Such a professional and independent operating system must guarantee the autonomy of medical technicians, and it can be said that changes are necessary in law. In other words, it is necessary to change to "request and prescription" rather than "supervision" according to the needs of the times when the concept of "request" and "cooperation" is applied in many countries and an excellent curriculum. These changes can be called the demands of the times and changes for the improvement of medical services and social contribution.

The study attempted to analyze the experiences concerning professional identities of social workers working in hospice palliative care(HPC) multidisciplinary team by adopting ground theory method. The data were drawn from in-depth interviews with 11 social workers working in HPC teams for more than a year. As a result of the study, 166 concepts, 21 themes and 10 categories were presented. The core theme was identified as "growing up as a professional recognized by clients and other team members". The characteristics of social work and those of hospital setting systematic barriers and problems of the governmental support program worked as external conditions. The conflicts and confusions in social workers' professional identities were brought about as results of the conditions while successful team and the characteristics of individual setting promoted to get over the problems. The social workers experienced professional rewards and personal growth from hospice practices by utilizing diverse strategies. It was proposed that social workers should make efforts to be recognized as an essential profession in HPC multidisciplinary teams together with resolving the institutional problems such as regulations on qualifications of HPC social worker, professional education and governmental supports to improve work conditions.
