The Ringer's Solution used in medical institutions is one of the injections helpful for recovering the body condition from fever or dehydration by supplying the water to the body. The medical staffs frequently check the amount of Ringer's Solution prescribed for the relevant patient to check the time for replacing the Ringer's Solution. However, currently, many nurses experience the excessive workload because of the insufficient workforce and lots of workload assigned to each of the nurses; so the they cannot provide the high-quality medical services to patients and guardians. In order to solve this problem, this thesis designed and realized the Ringer's Solution replacement time control system through the non-contacting sensor, IoT device using WiFi, and OCS interlock. Thus, this study is expected to be able to efficiently operate the Ringer's Solution replacement work and also to provide the high-quality medical service to patients and guardians by automatically notifying the timing of Ringer's Solution replacement to medical staffs, and omitting the inefficient intermediate step in the past.

In the medical fields, many efforts have been made to develop and improve Hospital Information System (HIS) including Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Order Communication System (OCS), and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). However, materials generated and used in medical fields have various types and forms. The current HISs separately store and manage them by different systems, even though they relate to each other and contain redundant data. These systems are not helpful particularly in emergency where medical experts cannot check all of clinical materials in the golden time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a process to build an integrated data model for medical information currently stored in various HISs. The proposed data model integrates vast information by focusing on medical images since they are most important materials for the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, the model is disease-specific to consider that medical information and clinical materials including images are different by diseases. Two case studies show the feasibility and the usefulness of our proposed data model by building models about two diseases, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and ischemic stroke.

Beginning in 2000, domestic large hospital based integrated health information system has been developed from order communication system to electronic medical record system. However, today's advanced medical information system is integrated with unit of the system because user needs is complex and various. And, the problem is authority management of health information system in complex systems of large size hospital. It is also a serious problem of private information exposure because of user's authority management defect. In this paper, we analyze the problems of past hospital information system and propose an efficient and appropriate management authority in operating environment. It also introduces the instances applied into a large hospital EMR system, developing proper authority management to match the characteristics of the integrated medical information system. The proposed system is based on solutions of authority management system suitable for integrated health information system, as well as the next generation of EMR.

This study presents an analysis of healthcare quality indicators using data mining for developing quality improvement strategies. Specifically, important factors influencing the inpatient mortality were identified using a decision tree method for data mining based on 8,405 patients who were discharged from the study hospital during the period of December 1, 2000 and January 31, 2001. Important factors for the inpatient mortality were length of stay, disease classes, discharge departments, and age groups. The optimum range of target group in inpatient healthcare quality indicators were identified from the gains chart. In addition, a decision support system was developed to analyze and monitor trends of quality indicators using Visual Basic 6.0. Guidelines and tutorial for quality improvement activities were also included in the system. In the future, other quality indicators should be analyze to effectively support a hospital-wide continuous quality improvement (CQI) activity and the decision support system should be well integrated with the hospital OCS (Order Communication System) to support concurrent review.

Purpose: The actual nursing processes have been performed by individual nurses' judgment without any supporting programs in Korea. It is not easy for novice nurses to make accurate diagnoses and provide proper nursing interventions to patients. Therefore, we propose a computerized program for nursing diagnosis and intervention linked to medical diagnosis. Method: For the program, we have linked standardized nursing diagnosis and intervention classifications with medical diagnosis. It is premised that the program is connected to order communication system(OCS) in hospitals. Result: We provide a nursing information system with standardized database for nursing diagnosis and interventions so that nurses can make more accurate diagnosis and perform more adequate interventions. Conclusion: It is expected that the program will help the nurses perform their nursing processes more efficiently. And we expect the system can be used in many hospitals efficiently in the future after pilot operations are completed in some hospitals.

IT has affected the hospital management via information systems and multimedia systems such as hospital information systems(HIS) and Order Communication System(OCS). A large number of researches have been done on the topic of success factors of information systems implementation, but a few on the topics of hospital information systems. Thus in this study, the success factors of the military hospital information systems implementation was analysed. To this end, a number of previous researches were reviewed and about 71 items of success factors were deduced. For doing empirical analysis, a questionnaire with 71 items was prepared and sent to proper organizations. The statistical analysis such as factor analysis was applied to about 400 of them returned. The six success factors and 20 sub success factors were resulted from factor analysis. The six success factors include systems management factor, technology and organization factor, the efficiency of IT department factor, technology application factor, outsourcing factor and environment factors. This study finds the outsourcing and environment factors are very important factors as much as other success factors which previously were mentioned.

It is well recognized that case management is required to survive in the rapidly changing medical environment. One of the case management is the critical pathway(CP) which is assumed to increase the quality of care and at the same time to decrease the length of stay in hospital. The purpose of the study was to develop a CP for the management of patients with postero-lateral fusion for lumbar spinal stenosis. Through review of literature and medical records of patients with spinal stenosis, a pilot CP was designed, including 8 different care components such as medication, laboratory tests, assessment etc., from one day before surgery to 6 days of postoperative care. Every item of the pilot CP was evaluated by a panel of experts to test the content validity. The items not agreed on by more than 4 out of 6 experts were deleted or modified to be integrated in the CP. To apply the modified CP to a clinical environment, the items reflecting treatment, medication and lab work were entered into an order communication system(OCS), and doctors and nurses were taught to use the CP. Finally, the development of CP for the patients with posterolateral lumbar fusion was completed after the application and variance analysis of the CP.

The purpose of this research which, surveyed target hospitals, was to evaluate job operations by surveying the influences of Quality Improvement (QI) activities in various divisions related to a decrease in their back-up orders. Statistical data analyses were completed using the SPSS 11.0 program. The results can be summarized as follows Before QI there were 147 cases of back-up orders ; after QI there were 83 cases, decrease of 64 cases. This was 44%, less than the projected goal of 50%. For each item, there was a decrease of 40 nurse cases, 9 patients and patron cases,9 test surgery deliverly cases and 5 doctor cases after QI. The registering of midnight meals was not shown after QI, due to the Order Communication System (OCS) settlement. After performing QI, the average manual operation per month was reduced from 840 minutes to 498 minutes, of which the difference was 342 minutes, and the average of 342 minutes per month could be used for the peculiar operation of each division. This QI activity provided a good opportunity for establishing cooperation among divisions in providing meals to patients through interactions among divisions. It was recognized that these interactions were effective only when medical services were achieved through organized cooperation among divisions. Among the 7 items included on the patient satisfaction questionnaire, “satisfaction with offered menus” (p<0.01) showed significantly higher scores before QI. However “satisfaction with meal times” (p<0.01) showed significantly lower scores before QI.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to confirm and to suggest the Korean medical treatment is effective treatments to patients with facial paralysis sequelae. Methods : We conducted a survey on patients with facial paralysis sequelae who visited the facial paralysis center from August 2017 to November 2018. We then evaluated House-Brackmann Grading System(HBGS), Sunnybrook Scale(S-Scale), Visual analog scale(VAS) against those who agreed and analyzed the information through Electronic Medical Record(EMR) and Order Communication System(OCS). Results : Clinically, Korean medical treatment such as embedding therapy are effective for the facial paralysis sequelae. For the purpose of raising the level of evidence against this, research will be needed to confirm the treatment effects by comparing accurate assessment indicators that are conducted before and after the treatment. Conclusions : In order to confirm the progress of treatment of facial paralysis sequelae, evaluation indicators such as House-Brackmann Grading System and Sunnybrook Scale should be performed by experts. And after 3-4 weeks, if patients have any sequelae symptoms, it may be helpful to take treatments such as pharmacopuncture treatment and embedding therapy at intervals of 1-2 weeks depending on the symptoms or areas.
