Direct medical control by medical doctors is an essential part of emergency medical services system (EMSS). However, the indications are not specifically defined, even in 119 system with their own medical control team. The Seoul Metropolitan Fire and Disaster Management Department has operated internal medical consultation services on its own since January 2004. Based on the experiences from these services, we reviewed the cases of the direct medical consultation and establish the indications for direct medical control. And we presumed the demand of direct medical control with the established indications. The crews of 119 in Seoul made 793 calls to Medical Control Team during November 2004. We reviewed all of the calls according to the level of consciousness (AVPU), the kinds of emergency care done by crews during transport (10 categories), and the mechanisms of injuries (9 categories). The need for direct medical control was judged by authors with reviewing the records reported by the crews and control teams. Among 23 items, 14 items assigned as the indications, which were abnormal level of consciousness (VPU), 6 kinds of emergency care, and 5 mechanisms of injures. The sum of the three of them, 7,782 cases (45.9%), was in need of direct medical control. In conclusion, about half of the patients transported by 119 crews in Seoul require direct medical control. The need for the direct medical control in Seoul was estimated as many as 260 calls per day. To fulfill the need for direct medical control and to provide a effective medical control, the direct medical control should be accomplished through the communications between the crews and the medical staffs in the local hospitals.

Medical oversight (MO) means the advice and direction provided by a physician to rescue workers who provide medical care or carry patients at the scene of an emergency. The purpose of this study was to investigate the utilization of MO and related factors among some 119 rescue workers in Gwangju. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 153 rescue workers in these 119 safety centers. The data were analyzed by SAS version 9.3. Overall 82.4% of the subjects utilized MO during the past month. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, the married subjects (OR = 3.87, 95% CI = 1.22~12.27), level 1 emergency medical technicians (OR = 2.87, 95% CI = 1.02~8.09), and subjects who treated cardiovascular emergency patients (OR = 9.19, 95% CI = 1.87~45.08) had significantly higher odds ratios for the utilization of MO. The experience of MO accounted for 82%. The development of strategies and education plans taking these results into consideration will help to improve the utilization of MO.

의료기기는 사람의 생명과 직접적으로 연관되어 있기 때문에 다른 분야의 기기보다 안전성에 대한 검증이 필수적이다. 의료 분야에서는 안전성 검증을 위해 기기의 허가 심사 조건으로서 소수의 피험자를 대상으로 수행되는 임상 시험이 존재한다. 그러나 임상 시험의 경우 의료기기를 직접 사람에게 적용하여 검증을 진행하기 때문에, 인체에 미칠 위해성을 고려하여 전임상 시험을 수행하고 있다. 하지만 전임상 시험은 동물이나 가상의 물체를 대상으로 수행하여 실제 사람에 대한 적용이 아니기 때문에, 임상 시험에 비해 검증에 대한 효력을 갖지 못한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 피험자의 안전을 보장할 수 있고, 임상 빅데이터에 축적된 실제 환자의 사례를 활용한 신뢰성 있는 검증 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 그러나 현재 식품의약품안전처에서 제공되고 있는 의료기기 품목군은 개발하고자 하는 의료기기의 임상 빅데이터 기반 검증 가능성을 식별하기 어렵다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 의료기기에 대한 다양한 특성 분석을 통해 임상 빅데이터 기반 검증 가능성을 식별하기 위한 프로세스를 제안한다. 제안하는 프로세스에서는 의료기기의 검증에 요구되는 데이터의 식별을 통해 임상 빅데이터를 이용한 테스트 데이터 수집 및 이를 활용한 신뢰성 높은 검증을 가능케 한다.

Telemedicine can be defined as "medical activities performed remotely by medical personnel using information and communication technology." So far, many scholars in Korea have understood that only telemedicine between medical personnel is allowed and telemedicine between medical personnel and patients is prohibited based on Article 34 of Medical Service Act. However, Article 34 is only a restriction on the performing place of medical profession, not a prohibition on telemedicine itself. And, there are no regulations prohibiting telemedicine under the korean medical law. So, it is difficult to say that telemedicine is generally prohibited under the korean medical law, apart from the health insurance medical treatment benefit standards. However, there is controversy in interpretation regarding the meaning of "direct diagnosis" in Articles 17 and 17-2 of Medical Service Act. The Constitutional Court of Korea interpreted this as "face-to-face diagnosis", while the Supreme Court of Korea interpreted it as "self diagnosis". In light of the dictionary meaning of 'direct' and the interpretation of related medical law regulations, I think the Supreme Court's interpretation is valid. Although "direct diagnosis" does not mean "face-to-face diagnosis", the concept of "diagnosis" implies "principle of face-to-face diagnosis". In addition, "non-face-to-face diagnosis" are only allowed to supplement "face-to-face diagnosis", so the problems caused by "non-face-to-face diagnosis" can be fully overcome. In the end, the limit of telemedicine is how faithful the diagnosis was.

현대 복지국가에서는 의료와 교육 분야에 대해 지대한 관심을 가지고 있다. 이런 측면에서 유럽 및 미국 등에서는 특히 의료분야에 대해 정부가 직접 운영하는 비율이 높고 또한 각종 조세특례를 통해 민간을 지원하고 있다. 이 점에서 이 논문에서는 우리나라가 의료기관에 대한 조세체계와 조세특례를 어떻게 개선해야 할 것인가에 대해 연구하였다. 이 연구결과 의료기관에 대한 조세체계 및 조세특례제도에 대한 개선방안으로 여러 가지를 제시하고 있으나, 주요골간은 첫째, 우리나라의 경우 의료법인을 의료법에서는 비영리법인으로 보고 있으나 세법에서는 기본적으로 영리사업으로 보아 과세하는 것을 원칙으로 하고 조세특례규정은 아주 제한적으로 인정하고 있어, 의료서비스의 질적 향상에 도움을 주고 있지 못하므로 이를 개선하고, 둘째, 교육과 의료는 중요한 공공재로서 정부가 대등한 입장에서 정책을 수립하여야 함에도 차등 과세되고 있는 점을 개선할 필요가 있으며, 셋째, 같은 의료서비스에 대해서 운영주체에 따라 각종 조세특례를 다르게 규정해서는 안된다는 점을 지적하였다.
