This study examined the levels of satisfaction from medical staff and patients by analyzing 691 Supreme Court precedents on medical practice from legal disputes in Korea, which are developing into a dual medical system. In addition, the issues that can be prevented in the medical field through the flow and judgment of legal disputes in medical practice after the revision of the medical law are discussed. The concept of medical practice not specified in the Medical Law was examined and compared with the medical-legal systems of Germany, Japan, and the USA through international comparative analysis to assess the illegal factors occurring in the medical field by analyzing the legal approach, medical practice, and medical personnel qualifications of each country. An analysis of the Supreme Court's case law revealed the timing analysis of issues in legal disputes related to medical practice, the incidence rate among the subjects of the cases, and medical personnel to be significant. The meaning was studied by finding the law that applied to it. Important cases were identified, and their meaning was reviewed. The legal issues of medical practice in orthopedics were divided into five sections based on precedents, such as problems in consent to information at the start of treatment, problems in prior radiography before treatment, explanation of the consent process for surgical treatment, problems related to the qualification of operators in the operating room, and the responsibility for postoperative results. In the wake of the recent major crisis in the government's medical reform policy (Essential medical package), procedural problems and legal reviews of illegal medical practices and their qualifications in the medical field were conducted because of the lack of medical personnel.

Objectives: This study investigates the dental hygienist's main duties in clinical dental practice and examine whether dental hygienists can safely perform each duty by referring to the educational contents of dental hygiene departments and national examinations of dental hygienists. Methods: A questionnaire on the main duties of dental hygienists was administered to 477 clinical dental hygienists working at dental clinics and hospitals, general dental hospitals, and university dental hospitals in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Incheon. We divide the dental hygienists' clinical dental hygiene practice and clinical dental assist and analyze the legal scope of practice, university educational contents, and national examination contents. Statistical analysis was performed through frequency analysis, and multi-frequency data were analyzed using Excel 2013. Results: All 48 items (except 2 items of 29 dental hygiene practice and 21 assist practice items) surveyed were covered in the National Examination for Dental Hygienists and included in the Dental Hygiene Education Learning Objective. The multi-frequency clinical dental practice of eight items of clinical dental hygiene practice and two assist practice items were within the legal scope of the dental hygienist's role. Conclusions: Further discussions are needed to redefine the legal scope of the role of the dental hygienist.

This article analyses the concept of medicine in the legal context. It is not easy to define the concept of medicine because medical practice has various dimensions and the situation in which the practice is performed has a broad variety. The duty of medical law is to build the boundary of protection in that the nature of medicine would not be distorted by the factors of social systems like industry or governmental authorities. Without understanding the various dimensions - especially the dimension of Humanities and Sociology - of the medicine it is not possible to draw the limit on the performance of medicine appropriately. Concerning the medical practice (especially in the context of the regulation of medical licence), the enacted law (Medical Act) defines the concept just for form's sake and it finally depends on the interpretation of the legal enforcement authorities. Moreover, between the judgments of the courts there exists no coherent principles for the regulation and the interpretation of the Medical Act depends often on the riskiness, the abstract concept, which finally leads the interpretation to depend on the subject of the practice. On the contrary, the development and scientific movement of the technology tends to tighten the range of the medical professionals of medical practice and the perspectives of the medicine. Medical act is actually oriented at the patient's understanding of him- or herself. The above-mentioned tendency of the interpretation and the legal policy could lead the medicine away from its nature.

With recent emphasis on evidence based medicine, clinical practice guidelines are seen as a potential mechanism by which unify various managerial and professional approaches to improving the quality of care. The development process of guidelines has been the subject of much research. and it is need translating the medical evidence of research into a clinical practice guidelines. the gathered evidence needs to be interpreted into a clinical, public health, policy, or payment context. The term 'clinical practice guidelines' can evoke a diverse range of responses from healthcare personnel. Clinical practice guidelines are increasingly used in patient management but some clinicians are not familiar with their origin or appropriate applications. Understanding the limitations as well as benefits of CPG could enable clinicians to have clearer view of the place of guidelines in every practice. In the context of increasing complaints and litigation in healthcare, the legal implications of clinical practice guidelines are of increasing importance. Clinical practice guidelines could, in theory, influence the manner in which the courts establish negligence by suggesting the doctor breached the duty of care by failing to provide the required standard of medical care. In several studies, the CPGs were relevent to and played a pivotal role in the proof of negligence. Much depends on the quality of guidelines and the tools developed and the authoritativeness of a guideline. Recently, there are several opinions the court also should review the validity and reliability of expert testimony including medical evidence. and widespread use of guidelines in malpractice lawsuit could lead the physicians to greater compliance with guidelines in the long term. In conclusion, Health care reformers, physicians as well as guidelines developers should understand that guidelines have both medical and legal aspects as a double-edges sword. so clinicians, legal representatives and decision-makers should not defer unduly to guidelines.

As the number of medical disputes regarding nurses has increased after medical disputes have increase, there is a need for a study on it. However, the legal relationship between nurses and patients has not yet been analyzed. Recently, the role and function of nurses are expanded according to the development of the science of nursing; moreover their activity and limitation of responsibility are also expanded. For this reason, the medical disputes regarding nurses have been increasing. However, the majority of these kind of dispute are just passed over because their practice is usually considered to be a mere action to assist doctor's role. In addition, nurse practice is not a secondary action of doctor's role, but forms part of a medical treatment. Of course, nurses handle many secondary tasks after doctors finish their medical treatment. But this is only part of the whole tasks of nurses. Furthermore, the general details of their medical treatment are not different from those of doctors because they also belong to the medical service personnel. Considering these features of nurse and the medical condition in South Korea, their task is becoming increasingly developed and specialized and they are also establishing their own field. With this stream of times, there is a growing interest in enacting a Nursing Practice Act, in other words, the independent law on nurse for the sake of patient safety and national health promotion. Then, their responsibility will distinctly be expanded as much more. That is, the time that nurses practice their medical care by following doctors' order and also pass over their responsibility to doctors is closed. Thus, this study examines the features and responsibilities of nursing practice, and discusses an institutional framework to efficiently cope with the legal disputes between nurses and patients. It aims to throw light on the decision making on nurse-patient disputes in future.

Background: The objective of the present study was to specifically divide the various work performed by dental hygienists in clinical practice for legal amendments regarding problems associated with conflict between job roles and illegal delegation to establish key basic data for legislation and policy utilization for realization of legal scope of dental hygienists. Methods: The study used work reports drafted based on research methods in the "Second Job Analysis Report on Dental Hygienists" researched by the Korean Health Personnel Licensing Examination Institute in 2012 and "Opinions of Dentists on Actual and Legal Work of Dental Hygienists," a report published by the Korean Dental Hygienists Association. Of these, the study focused on conservation dentistry, pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and dental implant treatment, which make up some of the fields covered by dental hygiene practice, to investigate and analyzed work performed by clinical experience. Results: Analysis of work actually performed in dental practice showed that for work related to 33 items presented in the study methods, the participants responded that they are currently performing such work or are likely to perform such work in the future, although there were differences by year. Investigation by type of workplace showed that dental hygienists working in university hospitals could perform the work presented if they had ≥5 years of dental hygienist experience, whereas dental hygienists working in dental clinics or hospitals could perform simple duties in their first year and performed more diverse duties with greater degree of difficulty after their second to fourth year. Conclusion: The reality that medical assistance during surgical operations and various procedures that is still being performed is no longer legally protected directly contradicts the needs in dental practice, and thus, there is the need to amend laws that are realistic by clearly recognizing the work of dental hygienists.

오늘날 의료체계는 질병의 치료만을 위한 체계가 아니라 종합적인 건강관리체계(health care system)로 변화하고 있다. 그러나 현행 의료법은 그런 '협업'도 무면허 의료행위라는 일탈행위로 낙인찍고, 의사의 위험관리영역에서 행위한 비의료인은 물론 그와 협업한 의료인까지도 무면허의료행위죄로 처벌하고 있다. 무면허 의료행위를 규제하는 법제도와 의료현실 사이의 간극을 좁히기 위해서는 무면허 의료행위를 이원적이고 국가주의적이며 신분중심적으로 규율하는 구조적 한계를 극복해야 한다. 무면허의료행위죄의 보호법익은 '사람의 생명, 신체'라는 개인적 법익뿐만 아니라 '국가의 의료인면허제도의 유지·보호'라는 국가적 법익으로 이중적 성격을 가지는데, 여기서 유념해야할 것은 형벌을 가하는 본죄들의 규정이 보호하는 법익의 판단기준은 본래 '인격적 법익론'에서 찾아야 한다는 점이다. 그리고 어떤 행위가 의료행위인지 그리고 그 위험성을 판단할 때 행위의 주체(신분)에 편중하지 않고 행위와 수단의 차원을 함께 빠짐없이 형평성 있게 고려해야 한다. 즉 그 행위로 인해 초래될 수 있는 부작용의 위험이 합리적으로 관리되고 있는지에 따라 무면허의료행위에 해당되는지 여부가 좌우되어야 할 것이다. 의료의 본질이 치료자와 환자 간의 상호신뢰와 상호이해가 되어야 함을 일깨우는 치료적 대화의 지평을 고려할 때, 의료법 정책은 다원적 의료인격들 사이에서 일어나는 협업의 가능성을 원천적으로 차단하지 않는 방향으로 나아가야 바람직하다고 할 것이다.

It is noted that the disaster such as fire, explosion, collapse has been rapidly increased caused by strength deterioration of steel structures at petrochemical plant during fire. In this regard, it is stressed out that the legal requirement for fire proofing for steel structures at petrochemical plant should be carefully reviewed since the current legal requirement such as Industrial Safety & Health Law, Architectural Law has a conflict and different way of approach. In addition, it is our point of view that the present law should be revised to consolidate into single law including engineering design criteria to reflect unreasonable legal requirement. It is further our point of view that the performance certificate for fire proofing like UL-1709, basis of maintenance should be appropriately and reasonably provided in line with global practice.

진료가이드라인은 의료행위 전의 비법적 통제로서 작용하는 측면과 의료행위 후의 법적인 통제기준으로 작용하는 두 가지 측면이 있다. 진료가이드라인의 본질적 목적은 전자이지만, 후자의 작용을 배제할 수 없다. 진료가이드라인은 법과 의료를 연결하는 수단이다. 진료가이드라인의 제정에 의해 의료전문가의 자율성이 침해될 수 있다는 진료가이드라인에 대한 부정적 인식은 진료가이드라인에 대한 지나친 부정적 평가이다. 오히려 진료가이드라인에 의한 사법판단은 의료전문가의 자율성을 존중하는 역할을 한다. 즉 진료가이드라인은 의료에 대한 법적 규제를 최대한 억제하고, 의사의 직업윤리 및 자기규율과 환자의 자각 및 협력을 바탕으로 하는 것이다. 의사와 환자의 협력이라는 이상적인 관계를 정립하기 위해서는 「의료윤리」를 법적 수단으로 편입해야 한다. 이러한 의료윤리의 법적 절차에의 편입작업에 가장 적절한 수단이 의료가이드라인이다. 법률가는 규범을 정립하고, 그것에 사실을 적용하여 결론을 내리는 법적 삼단논법으로 사안을 해결한다. 의료분쟁의 해결은, 의사가 특정 질환에 어떠한 의료행위를 해야 하는가라는 규범을 정립할 때에 진료가이드라인을 사용하며, 정립된 규범을 구체적인 진료행위에 적용하여 결론을 도출한다. 정립된 규범을 구체적인 진료행위에 적용하는 것이 쉽지 않은 때에는 감정이나 전문가 증언, 전문위원의 설명과 같은 전문가의 의학적 판단을 이용한다. 이처럼 사법(司法)은 규범의 정립이나 규범의 적용에도 의료의 자율성을 존중하고 있다. 특히 법적 삼단논법의 대전제인 규범의 정립에는 의료계가 자주적으로 작성한 진료가이드라인을 참고하고 있다. 이는 의료인이 판례의 형성에 참가하여 규범형성에 기여하는 모습이다. 진료가이드라인이 재판에 이용되는 것은 의료의 자율성에 대한 존중과 배려이다. 진료가이드라인에 의해 개개의 의사의 자율성이 제약되는 측면은 있을 수 있지만, 집단으로서의 의사의 자율성은 존중된다고 보아야 한다. 이처럼 진료가이드라인은 「법」의 논리에서 보면, 「의료」 집단의 자율성을 보호하는 역할을 한다.
