우리나라 대부분의 의료기관이 전자의무기록을 도입하고 있지만, 의료기관이 폐업했을 경우의 기록물 관리 및 보존에 있어서 많은 맹점이 존재한다. 폐업 의료기관의 기록은 적법한 절차에 따라 체계적으로 관리될 필요가 있음에도 불구하고 보건소로 기록을 이관하는 폐업 의료기관의 수가 현저히 적고, 전자의무기록을 사용하는 의료기관마다 사용하는 시스템 및 서식이 상이하기 때문에 이관을 받는 보건소에서도 해당 기록을 열람조차 하지 못하는 경우가 많다. 또한, 보건소의 현실과 전자의무기록이라는 특수성에 부합한 관리기준 및 지침 또한 부재한 상황이다. 최근 폐업 의료기관의 의료기록에 대한 보건소의 보관책임 강화 법안이 통과함에 따라 본 연구에서는 관할 보건소의 효율적인 기록물 관리를 위한 방안 마련에 주목하였다. 이를 위해 관계 법령을 살펴보고 관리·보존이 미흡한 폐업 의료기관 전자의무기록 관리 현황을 파악하기 위한 문헌조사를 비롯한 정보공개청구 및 전화인터뷰 등의 조사를 실시하였으며, 그 문제점을 분석하여 제도적·기술적·행정적인 측면에서의 개선방안을 제안하였다.

Objective : Several surgical procedures have been reported for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). We compared the results of treatments for CSDH obtained from one burr-hole craniostomy with closed system drainage with or without irrigation, two burr-hole craniostomy with closed system drainage with irrigation, and small craniotomy with irrigation and closed-system drainage. Methods : Eighty-seven patients with CSDH underwent surgery at our institution from January 2004 to December 2008. Our patients were classified into three groups according to the operative procedure; group I, one burr-hole craniostomy with closed system drainage with or without irrigation (n=25), group II, two burr-hole craniostomy with closed system drainage with irrigation (n=32), and group III, small craniotomy with irrigation and closed-system drainage (n=30). Results : Age distribution, male and female ratio, Markwalder's grade on admission and at the time of discharge, size of hematoma before and after surgery, duration of operation, Hounsfield unit of hematoma before and after surgery, duration of hospital treatment, complication rate, and revision rate were categories that we compared between groups. Duration of operation and hospitalization were only two categories which were different. But, when comparing burr hole craniostomy group (group I and group II) with small craniotomy group (group III), duration of post-operative hospital treatment, complication and recurrence rate were statistically lower in small craniotomy group, even though operation time was longer. Conclusion : Such results indicate that small craniotomy with irrigation and closed-system drainage can be considered as one of the treatment options in patients with CSDH.

법원은 2014년에도 의료와 관련된 의미 있는 판결들을 선고하였다. 법원은 수술 시 의료기구를 본래의 용도와 달리 사용하던 중 부러진 경우 이로 인한 사고에 의료진의 과실을 추정하였고, 설명의무와 관련하여 안전성이 검증되지 않은 수술을 시행하는 경우 설명의무 위반과 부작용 발생 사이의 인과관계를 인정하여 전손해배상이 인정될 수 있다는 점, 미용수술의 경우 일반적인 의료행위에 비하여 설명의무의 대상이 확대되어야 하는 점, 예상할 수 없는 범위에까지 설명의무를 인정할 수는 없는 점 등을 판시하였다. 또한 법원은 환자의 자기결정권과 의사의 진료의무 사이에 충돌이 발생한 경우 자기결정권 행사의 요건과 한계를 제시하였으며, 자동차보험계약이란 자동차사고와 관련된 배상 책임은 보험회사가 부담하기로 하는 계약이므로 비록 의료법에 위반되어 설립된 사무장 병원이라 하더라도 환자를 치료하고 보험금을 수령하는 것은 불법행위에 해당하지 않는다고 판시하였다. 의료기관 자체가 부당한 경제적 이익을 얻었을 뿐 의료기관 종사자들이 별다른 이익을 얻지 않은 경우, 리베이트 수수를 금지하는 의료법에 따라 의료기관 종사자들을 처벌할 수 없다는 견해를 밝힌 판결도 눈에 띈다. 그리고 법원은 업무정지처분을 받은 의료기관을 폐업하더라도 같은 장소에서 같은 운영자가 새로이 의료기관을 개설하는 경우 처분의 효과가 미친다고 판시하였고, 의사가 스스로 개설한 의료기관 외에서 진료행위를 할 수 있는 요건에 대하여 판시하였으며, 의료법을 위반한 혐의로 유죄 판결이 확정되기 전에는 이를 이유로 행정처분을 할 수 없다고 판시하였다.

Background The global prevalence of myelomeningocele has been reported to be 0.8-1 per 1,000 live births. Early closure of the defect is considered to be the standard of care. Various surgical methods have been reported, such as primary skin closure, local skin flaps, musculocutaneous flaps, and skin grafts. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of myelomeningocele defects and present the surgical outcomes of recent cases of myelomeningocele at our institution. Methods Patients who underwent surgical closure of myelomeningocele at our institution from January 2004 to December 2013 were included in this study. A retrospective chart review of their medical records was performed, and comorbidities, defect size, location, surgical procedures, complications, and the final results were analyzed. Results A total of 14 patients underwent surgical closure for myelomeningocele defects. Twelve cases were closed with direct skin repair, while two cases required local skin flaps to cover the skin defects. Three cases of infection occurred, requiring incision and either drainage or removal of allogenic materials. One case of partial flap necrosis occurred, requiring secondary revision using a rotational flap and a full-thickness skin graft. Despite these complications, all wounds eventually healed completely. Conclusions Most myelomeningocele defects can be managed by direct skin repair alone. In cases of large defects, in which direct repair is not possible, local flaps may be used to cover the defect. Complications such as wound dehiscence and partial flap necrosis occurred in this study; however, all such complications were successfully managed with simple ancillary procedures.

The considerable increase of the elderly with dementia is expected annually and when we think about the family members' and the patients' suffering, it could be painful. Above all things, it imposes heavy economic burdens on the family members that have patients who suffer from diseases of age like dementia or paralysis that caring them at home and also, it is not desirable for those old people in point of physical or environmental circumstances for medical care. Thus, it is needed urgently that the expansion of specified facilities and improvement of services for these old people. Under this present condition, it is the special feature that the subject of research is people/facilities that offer services, not the elderly with dementia-the main user of those facilities. This proposal aims to make a study of expansion and improvement the old people's welfare facilities by using remodeled closed Small and Midium Hospitals which are the bad effect of economic growth. Also, it can save money with re-using abolished buildings which is property of the nation and protect environment too. In this study, We examine the present conditions of old people's welfare institution, and research a factor of remodeling for welfare facilities. Then we will verify remodeling-possibility which is concrete and working by using the product of this study.

This study looked into the current conditions in Korean and Japanese care management for the elderly, cases of consumer counseling in these countries, and the supporting institutions for Japanese users regarding the use of care management for the elderly. The number of recipients of care management for the elderly in both Korea and Japan is growing every year, and more Japanese users receive various services compared to Korean users. The results of an analysis on consumer counseling regarding the use of Korean and Japanese care management revealed, two types of complaints: counseling for the improvement of the institution and complaints related to the procurement of service. Regarding the insurance system, the complaints were mostly related to affirmation of a rating and the burden incurred by cost-sharing. Regarding the use of service, such key impairment cases were related to in-service medical accidents, illegal acts including caregiver contract violations and forced retirement, careless service by workers, and human rights violations of the elderly. Japan has developed governmental and, related-administrative and business services as well as a local governmental system to redress customer impairment issues as this pertains to service for better quality care management. In addition, they have enlarged the locally closed service, provided exact information about the services offered, and improved service appraisal techniques. The Japanese cases will serve as a good reference to improve the Korean system. In particular, the construction of a system that reduces customer losses and the availability of more counseling information are urgently required to improve the system in terms of customer experiences when they seek care management.

Purpose: This research aimed to analyze the patterns of co-authorship network among the Korean radiation oncologists and to identify attributing factors for the formation of networks. Materials and Methods: A total of 1,447 articles including contents of ‘Radiation Oncology' and 'Therapeutic Radiology' were searched from the KoreaMed database. The co-authorship was assorted by the author's full name, affiliation and specialties. UCINET 6.0 was used to fi gure out the author's network centrality and the cluster analysis, and KeyPlayer 1.44 program was used to get a result of key player index. Sociogram was analyzed with the Netdraw 2.090. The statistical comparison was performed by a t-test and ANOVA using SPSS 16.0 with p-value < 0.05 as the significant value. Results: The number of articles written by a radiation oncologist as the first author was 1,025 out of 1,447. The pattern of coauthorship was classified into five groups. For articles of which the first author was a radiation oncologist, the number of singleauthor articles (type-A) was 81; single-institution articles (type-B) was 687; and multiple-author articles (type-C) was 257. For the articles which radiation oncologists participated in as a co-author, the number of single-institution articles (type-D) was 280 while multiple-institution articles (type-E) were 142. There were 8,895 authors from 1,366 co-authored articles, thus the average number of authors per article was 6.51. It was 5.73 for type-B, 6.44 for type-C, 7.90 for type-D, and 7.67 for type-E (p = 0.000) in the average number of authors per article. The number of authors for articles from the hospitals published more than 100 articles was 7.23 while form others was 5.94 (p = 0.005). Its number was 5.94 and 7.16 for the articles published before and after 2001 (p = 0.000). The articles written by a radiation oncologist as the first author had 5.92 authors while others for 7.82 (p = 0.025). Its number was 5.57 and 7.71 for the Journal of the Korean Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology and others (p = 0.000), respectively. Among the analysis, a significant difference in the average number of author per article was indicated. The out-degree centrality of network among authors was 4.26% (2.03-7.09%) while in-degree centrality was 1.31% (0.53-2.84%). The three significant nodes were classified and listed as following: Choi, Eun Kyung for 1991-1995, Kim, Dae Young for 1998-2001, Park, Won and Lee, Sang Wook for 2003-2010. Choi, Eun Kyung and Kim, Dae Young appeared in two cases, and ranked as the highest degree in centrality. In the key player analysis, Choi, Eun Kyung and Lee, Sang Wook appeared in two cases, and ranked as the highest. From the cluster analysis, Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul National University and Yonsei University revealed as the three large clusters when Ulsan University, Chonnam National University, and Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Science as the medium clusters. Conclusion: The Korean radiation oncologist's society shows a closed network with numerous relationships among the particular clusters, and the result indicates it is different from other institutions in the pattern of co-authorship formation of the major hospitals.

대리수술 및 유령수술 등으로 대변되는 '비의료인의 의한 무면허의료행위'는 생명·신체에 돌이킬 수 없는 피해를 야기한다는 측면에서 매우 엄격하고 진지한 관리가 필요한 영역에 속한다. 무면허 대리수술 근절 등을 위한 '수술실 내 영상정보처리기기(CCTV) 설치법안'은 오래 전부터 논의되어 온 영역이나 많은 쟁점과 찬·반 대립이 극심하여 오랜 기간 관계법안이 국회에 계류되어 왔다. 그러나 그간 미용성형수술 분야에서 문제되어 온 대리수술 및 공장식 성형수술은 물론, 최근에는 치료적 수술 영역에서도 무면허 대리수술 사건이 발생하는 등 관계법안이 국회에서 본격 논의될 것으로 보인다. 수술실은 기본적으로 밀실성과 폐쇄성, 내부자 간 침묵의 공모 등과 같은 특성으로 인하여 이들 간에 불법행위를 공모·은폐하는 경우는 물론, 정당한 수술행위라 하더라도 영리목적의 많은 수술실적을 위하여 집도의가 신속한 성형수술 후 의료기관을 이탈하여 수술종결 및 회복에 심각한 결과를 야기할 수 있는 측면에서 CCTV는 불법행위의 규명과 과실 판단에 큰 도움이 될 수 있다. 반면, 성형수술 외 치료목적 수술의 근본 목적이 환자의 생명·신체 회복이라는 구명(救命)에 있다는 점에 착안하여 볼 때는 수술과정 촬영이 의사와 환자의 관계를 감시와 불신에서 출발하게 하여 환자 측이 최상의 수술결과 달성미흡 등을 이유로 한 촬영기록 열람과 분쟁의 증가, 주치의에게 부담을 증가시켜 과감한 수술의 단행보다는 양심에 반하는 비침습적 치료로 전환하게 하거나 수술시기의 판단에 어려움을 유발하는 등 외과계 의료제공에 제한이 초래되어 개별 의사와 환자 간의 관점은 물론, 장기적 관점에서도 국민과 환자에게 불이익이 발생할 우려 또한 존재한다. 본고에서는 수술실 CCTV 설치에 대한 국내·외 현황과 쟁점 등을 살펴보고 제도 도입에 따른 법리적 문제점과 부작용을 최소화하는 방향으로 입법될 수 있도록 다양한 관점과 대안을 제시하여 국민과 환자, 피수술자의 생명과 건강 보호에 도움이 되고자 한다.
