Patient safety is achieved through systematic improvement based on the knowledge and willingness of medical professionals. A systematic longitudinal curriculum for patient safety is essential to prepare medical students and professionals. The purpose of this article is to introduce our experience with a 'workshop for developing a patient safety curriculum' and to compare the results with previous studies. The workshop comprising 15 medical professors and patient safety experts met for 2 days. The Consensus Workshop method was applied, collecting opinions from all of the members and reaching consensus through the following stages: context, brainstorm, cluster, name, and resolve. The patient safety curriculum was developed by this method, covering patient safety topics and issues, and teaching and assessment methods. A total of 7 topics were extracted, 'activities for patient safety, concepts of patient safety, leadership and teamwork, error disclosure, self-management, patient education, policies.' Issues, teaching methods, and assessment methods were developed for each topic. The patient safety curriculum developed from the workshop was similar to previous curricula developed by other institutions and medical schools. The Consensus Workshop method proved to be an effective approach to developing a patient safety curriculum.

Involvement of a multidisciplinary team in cancer care may have added benefits over the existing system of patient management. A paradigm shift in the current patient management would allow more focus on nutritional support, in addition to clinical care. Malnutrition, a common problem in cancer patients, needs special attention from the early days of cancer care to improve quality of life and treatment outcomes. Patient management teams with trained oncology dietitians may provide quality personalized nutritional care to cancer patients.

목적: Critical pathway (CP)는 특정질환 표준화를 통해 적정한 진료 및 최소한의 표준진료를 행하여 진료의 질을 높이고 비용을 감소시켜 환자 및 의료진의 만족도를 높이기 위해 시도되고 있다. 본 연구는 위암수술 환자에서 CP를 개발 및 적용하고 이를 통해 치료결과의 향상을 이룰 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 10월부터 2004년 8월까지 가톨릭대학교 의과대학 강남성모병원에서 위암으로 수술 받은 185명의 환자 중 타장기 원발암이 없고, 근치적절제술을 시행 받은 환자 117예에서, CP를 적용한 26예와 동기간 동안 CP를 적용하지 않은 환자 91예의 임상적 특성, 수술 후 경과, 진료비용, 입원기간 및 환자 91예의 임상적 특성, 수술 후 경과, 진료비용, 임원기간 및 환자 만족도 등을 비교하여 위암수술에서 CP의 유용성을 알아보았다. CP를 개발하기 위하여 진료, 간호, 원무, 영양과 등이 참여하는 팀을 구성하여 외래검사 흐름도, 수술 전, 후 처방지, 경과기록 등을 표준화한 프로토콜을 작성하였다. 결과: CP환자 26명 중 1명은 십이지장 단단부 누출로, 1명은 술 후 위정체로 인한 장기 입원 및 재수술이 불가피 하여 제외되어 최종 분석된 환자는 24명이었다. 24명의 환자 중 8명에서 재원기간의 지연으로 인한 변이가 발생하였는데 6명은 환자가 자의적으로 퇴원을 거부하여 수술후 $1\∼2$일이 지연되었으며, 1명은 술 후 위정체로 2일 지연되었고, 1명은 수술 후 중환자실 입원 및 관찰기간이 필요하여 4일간 지연되어 변이율(variance rate)은 8/26 ($30.8\%$)였다. 평균 재원기간은 CPrns은 11.3일($10\∼15$일)이었고, Non-CP군은 17.5일($9\∼68$일)로 CPrns이 약 6일 짧았다(P<0.05), 술 후 평균 재원기간의 경우 CP군과 Non-CP군 각각 8.3일($7\∼12$일), 10.3일($7\~68$일)로 차이가 있으나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다(P>0.05). 양 군에서의 재원기간 중 총 진료비는 CP군이 평균 4,863,685원, Non-CP군이 평균 6,292,200원으로 CP군의 진료비가 낮았으나, 일당 진료비는 CP군은 430,414원, Non-CP군에서 높았음을 알 수 있었다(P<0.05). 13가지 항목의 만족도 조사에서도 CP군이 Non-CP군에 비해 높았다(P<0.05). 결론: 저자들이 개발하여 위암수술 환자에 적용한 CP 프로그램은 재원기간을 줄이고 총 진료비를 감소시킨 반면 일일 진료비의 상승과 환자 및 의료진의 만족도를 높일 수 있었다. 향후 다기관이 참여하는 전향적인 연구를 통해 보다 적절한 표준진료지침을 개발하여 그 효용성을 객관화 시켜야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The use of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia is an effective and increasingly used means of providing postoperative pain relief. Recently a non-electric, disposable and portable infusor, the Baxter $Infusor^{(R)}$, has developed. This delivers not only a continuous drug infusion but can also deliver extradoses of medication on demand. The present study examined the benefits of two kinds of analgesics for pain management in 28 patients undergoing gynecological surgery. One group, 14 patients, received i.v. meperidine 0.5 mg/kg as loading dose in the recovery room and PCA with meperidine 3 mg/kg/day for 3 days only(M group). In the other group, 14 patients, also received i.v. meperidine 0.5 mg/kg as loading dose in the recovery room and PCA meperidine 3 mg/kg/day for 3 days and droperidol 5 mg(MD group). The PCA device used was the Baxter $Infusor^{(R)}$. This unit was fitted with patient control module which had a flow rate 0.5 ml/hr and the lockout time was 15 min. Resulting from the study, the MD patients in the first and second days post-operatively, reported less pain compared with the M group. VAPS(Visual Analogue Pain Scales) values were $3.52{\pm}l.61$ vs. $2.22{\pm}0.69$, $2.38{\pm}1.12$ vs. $1.45{\pm}0.48$ and $1.93{\pm}1.65$ vs. $0.98{\pm}0.36$, respectively pertaining to M and MD groups. In conclusion, the MD group with meperidine and droperidol(mixed regimen) provided more effective postoperative analgesia than M group(meperidine only).

Introduction: SLE is autoimmune disease to appear systemic pathology in the connective tissue. Perniotic LE is sub-type of chronic dermal LE which causes purple macules on the terminal part of body-nose, ends of fingers, heals, calfs of the legs, elbows and knees. Objective: The purpose of this study was to estimate the efficiency of oriental medical treatment and management on the SLE and perniotic LE. Subject: We studied 2 patients who visited and hospitalized in Daejon University Oriental Hospital Dept. of Dermatology, with SLE and pemiotic LE from April 2002 till May 2002 Method: We treated them with herb medication, acupuncture and in addition to we consulted western medication if they were needed Results: In case of SLE patient, we considered it to be Yeol-Dok-Chi-Seong, so we priscriped Ga-Mi-So-Dok-Eum1, 2 , Yang-Dok-Baek-ho-Tang first. and till 22 days of hospitalization, we considered to be Gi-Eum-Yang-Heo and priscriped Ji-Hwang-Tang-Hab-Cheong-Sim-Yeon- Ja -Eum-Ga-Mi. but it wasn't adjust and high fever was reaccurred. And till 24 days of hospitalization we priscriped Gal-Geon-Hae-Gi-Tang, and becomed to 25 days, high fever was disappeared and the patient discharged and she has remained generally good condition. In case of Perniotic LE, at first we misdiagnosed her disease as a acral lentiginous melanoma, and we considered it to be Gan-Soo-Yeol-Li-Yeol- Jeung and priscriped Cheong-Pae-Sa-Gan-Tang and transferred her to another hospital, but she was diagnosed Perniotic LE Conclusion: Considering the above results, in case of SLE, in acute phase, we could treat her with oriental-western treatment, and in relief phase, we could treat her with only oriental treatment very efficiently. but in case of perniotic LE, we misdiagnosed it as a acral lentiginous melanoma, but we could experienced very rare perniotic LE case. And also further study is needed on the SLE, and perniotic LE, and we have to systematize of dyagnosis and treatment system.

Methods: A patient was treated with Korean medicine therapies including herbal medication (Hyungbangjihwang-tang, Boikyangwie-tang), acupuncture, and electroacupuncture during 35 days of hospitalization. We evaluated the improvements of symptoms by checking the number of vomiting episodes and the presence of nausea. Results: During 35 days of Korean medicine treatment, there was improvement in patient's symptoms. The frequency of vomiting had decreased, and the nausea had decreased and not appeared for the last 7 days. Conclusions: This study suggested that Korean medicine therapies might be effective in relieving gastrointestinal symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Purpose: Pain management in burn treatment is important in improving wound healing and quality of life. Ibuprofen is a proven pain relieving agent in patients with partial thickness burn by intraveous injection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Biatain Ibu^® (polyurethane foam containing ibuprofen) in pain control for outpatients with partial thickness burns. Methods: A prospective randomized clinical trial was performed in outpatients with partial thickness burn from August 1, 2017 to July 31, 2018. Acute pain, chronic pain, complications, days for re-epithelialization and patient's satisfaction were compared between Biatain Ibu^® and Biatain^® groups. Results: A total of 20 patients (Biatain Ibu^®, n=10; Biatain^®, n=10) were assessed in the trial. On Burn days 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 15, the acute pain levels were significantly lower in the Biatain Ibu^® group than in the Biatain^® group. Complications, chronic pain levels and days for re-epithelialization were not significantly different between the two groups. Patient's satisfaction was not statistically significant but was higher in the Biatain Ibu^® group. Conclusion: Biatain Ibu^® is effective in relieving pain in outpatients with partial thickness burn without decreasing patient satisfaction, wound healing ability or developing any complications.
