  • 어떤 정책을 원만히 정착시켜 시행하기 위해서는 충분한 검토와 대화, 사회적 합의가 필수적 요소이다. 정부에서도 국민의 건강과 직결되는 원격의료를 의료산업발전을 통한 국가의 신성장 정책을 추진하기 위한 밀어붙이기식의 보건정책은 큰 사회적 부작용을 낳을 수 있다. 또한 의료계에서도 그들만의 이기적 주장을 탈피하고 어떠한 시스템이 국민의 건강과 생명을 담보할 수 있고, 급변하는 의료기술의 발달에 발맞춰 국민에게 최상의 의료서비스가 가능하도록 변화해야 한다. 급변하는 정보통신기술의 발전과 의료산업분야의 과학화는 분명 우리에게 많은 편의성과 국민건강 향상에 기여할 것이다. 그러나 원격의료 활성화 이전에 국민의 건강과 생명을 담보할 수 있는 안전성 및 유효성의 검토가 필요하고 어떠한 제도를 시행하기 전에 충분한 검토와 사회적 합의가 반드시 선결되어야 한다. 이에 원격의료 활성화를 위한 선결과제로 외국의 원격의료 현황과 우리나라의 현황 등을 살펴보고, 원격의료 활성화를 위해서 선결 되어야할 문제들을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Because Korea has the excellent informational technology, it was expected to be able to improve the accessibility to healthcare and compete with other nations in excellence through u-Healthcare. But we can't complete the excellent u-Healthcare because of the law to be able to use only the tele-counselling between doctor to doctor or doctor to nurse. First of all, we must complete the law to be able to use the improved u-Health containing of telemedicine between doctor to patient. Though other factors, the procurement of safe IT, the credibility to healthcare service provider containing of nutritionist and occupational therapist etc. are prepared for erecting u-Healthcare, we can get the final and decisive u-Health policy only by means of Law for supporting u-Healthcare's Activation. The important sections of Law for supporting u-Healthcare's Activation are as follows. Sec. 4 The Minister for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs and the dean of associated administrative division have to erect the combined plan for u-Healthcare's Activation. Sec. 11 Government and local autonomous entity can support the facility and equipment to be necessitated for using u-Healthcare to improve the medical accessibility of person in the region with poor medicine. Sec. 13 Doctor can support other doctor's medical action through IT and if there are not medical risk, doctor can give medical act directly to the special patients.

  • 전세계적으로 원격진료에 대한 관심은 매우 높은데, 선진국은 격오지 내지 도서지역의 자국민에 대한 양질의 의료서비스를 제공하려는 의도로 개도국은 한정된 의료인프라를 보다 적극적이고 효율적으로 활용함으로서 국민들의 삶의 질 제고를 위한 목적으로 추진되고 있다. 그리고 이들 시장은 급속한 노령화 추세와 정보통신기술의 진보 등이 어우러지면서 20201년경에는 폭발적 성장을 이룰 것으로 기대되고 있다. 우리나라의 경우에도 선진국이 50년 이상에 걸쳐 일어난 노령화가 겨우 20년만에 진행되면서 이들 문제에 대한 해결방안 강구가 절실한데 우리나라의 정보통신기술과 인프라는 이마 세계 최고 수준을 자랑하고 있다. 이에 중앙정부에서는 원격의료를 신성장통력으로 선정하고 육성하려는 노력이 다각도로 진행되고 있으나, 관련 볍제의 미비 등으로 인해 이들 산업 성장에 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라 원격의료 활성화를 위해서 요구되는 각종 법 정비제도를 중심으로 살펴보았는데 원격의료 관련 산업 육성을 위해서는 supply chain의 관점에서 당해 산업을 검토하는 한편, 비교적 글로벌 경쟁력을 확보하고 있다는 평가를 받고 있는 정보통신산업을 중심으로 패키지형의 산업 육성이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 현재, 미국을 중심으로 전개되고 있는 당해 산업에서 글로벌 시장의 선점을 위해서는 우려와 뜻을 같이하는 기업 및 국가와 지역적 표준을 확립하는 것이 시급하다. 이와 함께 우리나라의 관련 산업 육성을 위해서는 원격진료의 구체적 개념과 범주 명시가 필요하며, 이외에도 현행 의료법에서 명시되고 있는 원격의료에 대한 문제점을 검토하여 보았다 이와 아울러 의료정보 활성화를 위한 매우 중요한 전제조건인 프라이버시에 대한 측면도 해결되어야 할 과제가 매우 많음을 알 수 있었다.

  • Purpose: Critically ill patients are frequently transferred from one point of care to a hospital that can provide a higher level of care. To achieve optimal treatment within the targeted window of time necessary for time-sensitive cases like major trauma, rapid transportation and decision making are essential. Transferred patients have often undergone radiologic imaging at the referring hospital. Examining these outside images is paramount. Therefore, this study was conducted to estimate the upload time of outside images. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from January to April 2020. Patients transferred from other hospitals with digitally recorded CDs or DVDs of radiologic or diagnostic images were included. When the patients were registered at the emergency department reception desk, the digital images were transmitted to our picture archiving and communication system using transmission software. The time of upload and the numbers of digital images were recorded. The time interval from patient registration to the time of upload was calculated. Results: The median number of images was 688 in the trauma team activation (TTA) group (688 in the TTA group, 281 in the non-TTA trauma group, and 176 in the nontrauma group, respectively; P<0.001). The median upload time was 10 minutes. The longest upload time was 169 minutes. The upload time was more than 20 minutes in 12 cases (19.4%). Conclusions: Patients with major trauma bring more images than patients with other diseases. Unexpected delays (>20 minutes) were noted in approximately 20% of cases. It is necessary to minimize this time.

  • Within the traditional medical delivery system, patients residing in medically vulnerable areas, those with body movement difficulties, and nursing facility residents have had limited access to good healthcare services. However, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides us with a convenient and useful means of overcoming distance and time constraints. ICT is integrated with biomedical science and technology in a way that offers a new high-quality medical service. As a result, rapid technological advancement is expected to play a pivotal role bringing about innovation in a wide range of medical service areas, such as medical management, testing, diagnosis, and treatment; offering new and improved healthcare services; and effecting dramatic changes in current medical services. The increase in aging population and chronic diseases has caused an increase in medical expenses. In response to the increasing demand for efficient healthcare services, a telehealth service based on ICT is being emphasized on a global level. Telehealth services have been implemented especially in pilot projects and system development and technological research. With the service about to be implemented in earnest, it is necessary to study its overall acceptance by consumers, which is expected to contribute to the development and activation of a variety of services. In this sense, the study aims at positively examining the structural relationship among the acceptance factors for telehealth services based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected by showing audiovisual material on telehealth services to online panels and requesting them to respond to a structured questionnaire sheet, which is known as the information acceleration method. Among the 1,165 adult respondents, 608 valid samples were finally chosen, while the remaining were excluded because of incomplete answers or allotted time overrun. In order to test the reliability and validity of the assessment scale items, we carried out reliability and factor analyses, and in order to explore the causal relation among potential variables, we conducted a structural equation modeling analysis using AMOS 7.0 and SPSS 17.0. The research outcomes are as follows. First, service quality, innovativeness of medical technology, and social influence were shown to affect perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the telehealth service, which was statistically significant, and the two factors had a positive impact on willingness to accept the telehealth service. In addition, social influence had a direct, significant effect on intention to use, which is paralleled by the TAM used in previous research on technology acceptance. This shows that the research model proposed in the study effectively explains the acceptance of the telehealth service. Second, the research model reveals that information privacy concerns had a insignificant impact on perceived ease of use of the telehealth service. From this, it can be gathered that the concerns over information protection and security are reduced further due to advancements in information technology compared to the initial period in the information technology industry, and thus the improvement in quality of medical services appeared to ensure that information privacy concerns did not act as a prohibiting factor in the acceptance of the telehealth service. Thus, if other factors have an enormous impact on ease of use and usefulness, concerns over these results in the initial period of technology acceptance may become irrelevant. However, it is clear that users' information privacy concerns, as other studies have revealed, is a major factor affecting technology acceptance. Thus, caution must be exercised while interpreting the result, and further study is required on the issue. Numerous information technologies with outstanding performance and innovativeness often attract few consumers. A revised bill for those urgently in need of telehealth services is about to be approved in the national assembly. As telemedicine is implemented between doctors and patients, a wide range of systems that will improve the quality of healthcare services will be designed. In this sense, the study on the consumer acceptance of telehealth services is meaningful and offers strong academic evidence. Based on the implications, it can be expected to contribute to the activation of telehealth services. Further study is needed to assess the acceptance factors for telehealth services, such as motivation to remain healthy, health care involvement, knowledge on health, and control of health-related behavior, in order to develop unique services according to the categorization of customers based on health factors. In addition, further study may focus on various theoretical cognitive behavior models other than the TAM, such as the health belief model.
