본 연구는 의료이용 동기(경증, 중증, 만성질환관리, 미용)에 따른 의료기관 선택기준의 차이를 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 의료이용 동기에 따른 병원선택요인의 중요도는 감기와 같은 경증질환의 경우 진료능력, 친절, 신속, 접근성 순이었으며 암과 같은 중증질환의 경우와 미용의 경우는 진료능력, 시설, 평판, 진료비 순이었고 합병증 없는 고혈압관리와 같은 만성질환 관리의 경우는 진료능력, 시설, 친절, 진료비 순이었다. 의료이용 동기와 관계없이 진료능력은 의료기관 선택에 가장 중요한 요인이었으며 중증질환의 경우 접근성을 제외한 모든 요인에 대한 중요도가 높았다. 결론적으로 의료이용자들은 의료이용 동기, 질병의 심각성과 위급성 등을 복합적으로 고려하여 의료기관을 선택하며 같은 경우라도 인구학적 특성 및 정보탐색행태에 따라서 달라진다는 점을 알 수 있었다. 이에 의료기관의 경쟁우의를 확보하기 위해 수동적인 태도, 타 의료기관의 무조건적인 모방이 아니라 의료기관 선택요인에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 타 의료기관과 차별화하는 전략을 세워야 할 것이다.

Trade between nations has been considered as exchange for material things. According to recent changes in the paradigm of global trade, trade is shifting focus on the exchange of an immaterial being. Among them, the service sector is growing fast and the health service has shown exceptional growth as the healthcare market is consistently expanding. It is also part of the global service targeting people all around the world. People visiting other countries for medical service tend to spend more money and stay longer than a traveler. For these reasons, global medical service is in the spotlight as a promising and higher value-added business. The global medical service industry has been developed around Asia, specifically Thailand, Singapore, India, etc. Compared to them, Korea has come late into the market of global healthcare and the Korean government is striving to attract foreign patients. Nevertheless, there is a lack of effort to make foreign patients visiting Korea revisit Korea. Regarding foreign patients' medical disputes, these are not yet a problem officially; however, the government cannot leave the matter as it is. Medical dispute related with foreign patients is a highly complex issue due to different languages, nationalities, cultures, etc. Particularly, Korea's medical tourism is developed with Chinese visiting Korea for plastic surgery and cosmetic procedure. Thus, the Korean medical tourism market can be crowded with a lot of minor medical agencies, so-called brokers, getting foreign patients connected to the medical institutions. Consequently, Korea has received a large number of complaints and dissatisfaction. No one can predict and know what's supposed to happen in the future. Efforts of the Korean government and medical institute attracting foreign patients could be in vain. In order to take a step forward, this paper will do research on present conditions and look for strategies of improving this industry, focusing on the part of medical agency and contributing to the improvement of the Korean medical tourism industry.

The court handed down meaningful rulings related to medical sectors in 2013. This paper presents the ruling that the care workers could be the performance assistants of the care-giving service although the duties of care worker are not included in the liability stipulated in the medical contract signed with the hospital for reason of clear distinction of duties between care workers and nurses within the hospital in connection with the contract which was entered into between the hospital and patients. In relation to negligence and causal relationship, the court recognized medical negligence associated with the failure to detect the brain tumor due to the negligent interpretation of MRI findings while rejecting the causal relationship with consequential cerebral hemorrhage. The court also recognized negligence based on the observation on the grounds of inadequate medical records in a case involving the hypoxic brain damage caused during the cosmetic surgery. In terms of the scope of compensation for damages, this paper presents the ruling that the compensation should be estimated based on causal relationship only in case the breach of the 'obligation of explanation' is recognized, however rejecting the reparation for de factor property damages in the form of compensation, and the ruling that the lawsuit could be instituted in case that the damages exceeded the agreed scope despite the agreement that the hospital would not be held responsible for any aftereffects of surgery from the standpoint of lawsuit, along with the ruling that recognized the daily net income by reflecting the unique circumstances faced by individual students of Korean National Police University and artists of Western painting. Many rulings were handed down with respect to medical certificate, prescription, etc., in 2013. This paper introduced the ruling which mentioned the scope of medical certificate, the ruling that related to whether the diagnosis over the phone at the issuance of prescription could constitute the direct diagnosis of patient, along with the ruling that required the medical certificate to be generated in the name of doctor who diagnosed the patients, and the ruling which proclaimed that it would constitute the breach of Medical Act if the prescription was issued to the patients who were not diagnosed. Moreover, this paper also introduced the ruling that related to whether the National Health Insurance Service could make claim to the hospitals for the reimbursement of the health insurance money paid to pharmacies based on the prescription in the event that the hospitals provided prescription of drugs to outpatients in violation of the laws and regulations.

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.
