Korea's health care delivery system is based on the Medical law and the National Health Insurance Act. In order to efficiently operate limited medical resources, it is classified to use medical institutions according to the severity of the disease. The question is whether a tertiary care hospital can terminate a medical contract for a patient, if treatment for severe diseases has already been performed at a tertiary care hospital. In the case of termination of treatment, the Korean court has both a judgment that recognizes the right to terminate and a judgment that denies the termination. Among the U.S. rulings, there are rulings that order transfer to a skilled nursing facility or nursing home or home if acute treatment is no longer needed. Considering that medical resources are limited, it is necessary to acknowledge the right to terminate the contract of the medical institution when treatment by a medical institution is completed.

의료용 침대는 입원을 필요로 하는 환자의 안정과 가료 및 의사와 간호사의 효과적인 치료 행위를 위한 병원 입원실의 필수적인 설비 기구이다. 현대의 의료기술의 발전에 따라 첨단 치료 장비들을 갖춘 병원이 늘어나고 있는 반면 기본적인 설비라 할 수 있는 의료용 침대는 환자를 위한 전문적인 고려가 부족한 낙후된 제품을 그대로 방치해 사용하는 병원이 많은 것이 현실이다.(중략)

There are large, medium, and small items in the evaluation test for medical interpreter professionals personnel and the criteria and level are not clear, which may cause confusion for those preparing for the test. Therefore, we would like to suggest that the qualification requirements for the medical translation ability test and the criteria for the evaluation items are consistent with the medical system in Korea. The survey on the medical interpreter competency test conducted was collected from domestic and foreign data, compared with similar test and overseas test. We also examined the perception of the test by experts with experience in developing and interpreting the medical interpretation test. As a result, in the 'International Culture' evaluation category, 'Language-oriented culture' was changed to 'Medical-oriented culture' and 'Interpretation ethics' was changed to 'Medical interpretation ethics'. In the evaluation items of the hospital system, the 'Medical Dispute Mediation Act', which is 「ACT ON MEDIATION OF MEDICAL DISPUTES」 of the middle item was changed the 「ACT ON REMEDIES FOR INJURIES FROM MEDICAL MALPRACTICE AND MEDIATION OF MEDICAL DISPUTES」 and the Act also reduced the four items related to the 'Medical Tourism Law' to two and added the 「ACT ON SUPPORTING THE ADVANCEMENT OF MEDICAL OVERSEAS AND ATTRACTING FOREIGN PATIENTS」. If the Medical Interpretation Proficiency Test is prepared in accordance with the medical culture of Korea, it is expected that there will be a stable opportunity for professionals who pass the examination to act as experts.

Medical services should be provided not only to patients but also to medical staff who are the main actors of medical treatment. This paper is based on Ethnography, observing the behavior of medical staff performing medical actions and finding what is the most frequent of physical medical treatment. In particular, I observed the need for recognition and performance of the clinical workforce for invasive medical treatment. Based on the Insight from the observation and analysis of medical staff's behavior on intravenous fluid therapy and in-depth interview, I defined four design value factors. Plus, I suggest a design prototype with a proposal for designing a medical consumable kit for intravenous fluid therapy to validate the design elements. Kitting medical consumables simplify the preparation and disposal process throughout the treatment, enabling rapid medical action and increasing work efficiency.

This paper aims as a prior study to cultivate artificial intelligence professionals at the level of colleges in the future by analyzing healthcare services and technologies using artificial intelligence technology. As artificial intelligence technology is recognized as a key engine or core technology in the future that will create national competitiveness and added value, advanced countries are investing a lot of attention and support in developing technologies as well as human resources at the national level. Korea is also promoting national-level R&D manpower training projects such as AI graduate program support projects, and investing heavily in fostering and securing its own artificial intelligence personnel, mainly by large companies, but there is a lack of artificial intelligence experts. This study analyzes the current status of healthcare services and technologies, industries, and artificial intelligence manpower training using artificial intelligence technology, and proposes directions for fostering artificial intelligence personnel at the level of colleges.

This study attempted to examine the ambiguity of work from the legal, social perspective, and actual performance differences in domestic nursing work compared to foreign countries. We compared the historical background of nurses' expanded work through overseas situations, compare and analyze the legal basis for nurses' qualifications and work in each country, and what changes they have undergone to clarify their work. Through this, we would like to consider the current status of the absence of a legal basis for professional work of domestic nurses and seek a direction for the development of domestic medical care. This study applied the case study method as one of the comparative institutional research methods. Among OECD countries, developed countries such as the United States, Australia, and Japan were selected and compared among developed countries that are solving medical gaps using nurses. In the United States, Australia, Japan, and Korea, nurses' professional work has been created by changes in the medical environment due to an aging society, chronic diseases, and lack of doctors. We looked at the start of their professional work, the establishment of legal grounds, the timing of qualification recognition, the development of the credential system and scope of work. Foreign countries have legal grounds for their roles and tasks, but domestic countries are before legislation. The country still has not narrowed the gap between the position of the legislative and judicial branches and actual work, and the current status of the domestic healthcare system has been measured through overseas development cases.

The National Competency Standard (NCS) is being implemented on the basis of a college of higher education. The college offers intensive education by organizing three areas of knowledge, skills and attitudes so that students can perform their full capacity at the same time as graduating in industrial field. Health Department at the College has been training for a variety of medical personnel, including medical technician regions. Especially, the medical technician and medical sector must be licensed to work in the medical field. Therefore, passing the national examination license is a prerequisite for employment. In this study, the health law scores of the third grade students (about 200 students) of the radiology department of D College were analyzed at weekly intervals. The weekly score acquisition can be predict the pattern of student class achievement of individual students. Furthermore, these results can predict the possibility of passing the radiation license examination for individual students.

The purpose of this study is to understand the effects of nursing ethics education on ethical values, nursing professional intuition and biomedical ethics of nursing students. Data collection period was from December 2, 2017 to December 31, 2017 and the data were collected from 186 nursing college students at 2 universities. Data were analyzed by t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis using the SPSS 21.0 program. The average score for the ethics values was 3.08±0.33 points. the average score of nursing professionalism was 3.22±0.84. The average score of consciousness of biomedical ethics was 2.86±0.22. It is necessary to develop case-centered textbooks in order to raise the competence to apply ethics management about biomedical issues in the course program of nursing ethics to improve the awareness of biomedical ethics for nursing college students.

본 협회는 지난 5월 8일 여의도 소재 성모병원 강당에서 전국회원 70여명이 참석한 가운데 「가정의학제도 」를 주제로 세미나를 가지고 앞으로의 의료제도의 방향으로 유도되어 가고 있는 가정의학제도를 살펴보고 교회의료사업에서 본 가정의학의 의의를 모색했다. 전문의 위주의 세분화, 전문화된 의료제도는 지역주민과 가정에 대한 통합적, 지속적 건강관리에 장애가 됨으로서 외국에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 가정의제도가 발달되어 왔으며 우리나라에서도 이의 필요성을 느끼고 1985년에 가정의 제도를 도입하였다. 다음은 세미나에서 발표된 주제의 요약과 토의의 내용이다.
