Purpose: At the moment prevention and treatment of animal related diseases is becoming a social concern as the demand for animal increases. Furthermore, The design of the veterinary medical teaching hospital are even more complex because they have to accommodate medical program for animal and education and research program for students. However, there are a few experience and useful guidelines for the planning of the veterinary medical teaching hospital. So it is not easy for the regional hub universities to work out the proper plan for the construction of the veterinary medical teaching hospital for their own. This study has been started in order to provide basic informations for the planning of Korean veterinary medical teaching hospital. Methods: Interview to veterinarian, intern and employee of the veterinary medical teaching hospital and Field surveys to veterinary medical teaching hospital in Korea have been conducted for the data collection. The drawings of three universities of veterinary medical teaching hospital have been analysed and diagramed. Results: The result of this study can be summarized into three points. The first one is that the veterinary medical teaching hospital spaces are divided into five areas (ambulatory care, central medical care, hospitalization, education and research, operations and support) and each area is divided independently and connected properly. The second one is that the veterinary medical teaching hospital differs from hospital in the detailed space plan in the sense that the animal is a patient. The third one is that each hospital has different operating practices and programs according to local conditions Implications: It is meaningful as a basic source of veterinary medical teaching hospital design in the future.

Interoperability has been deemphasized from the hospital information system in general, because it is operated independently of other hospital information systems. This study proposes a future-oriented hospital information system through the design and actualization of the HL7 clinical document architecture. A clinical document is generated using the hospital information system by analysis and designing the clinical document architecture, after we defined the item regulations and the templates for the release form and radiation interpretation form. The schema is analyzed based on the HL7 reference information model, and HL7 interface engine ver.2.4 was used as the transmission protocol. This study has the following significance. First, an expansion and redefining process conducted, founded on the HL7 clinical document architecture and reference information model, to apply international standards to Korean contexts. Second, we propose a next-generation web based hospital information system that is based on the clinical document architecture. In conclusion, the study of the clinical document architecture will include an electronic health record (EHR) and a clinical data repository (CDR), and also make possible medical information-sharing among various healthcare institutions.

One-year post-occupancy evaluation was performed for a newly built hospital. Total of 133 in-patients were asked to evaluate their satisfaction on a scale of 1-5, and the lowest score was reported on the categories of the following : rest area insufficiency (2.939), inconvenient in-house shop (3.052), and too small patient room (3.065). We suggest several modifications of hospital structure to improve patient satisfaction.

Recently, hospital architecture is in the transition period which faces a great change. Patients' demands on medical services have been changing and hospitals have been feeling the need to innovate their facilities in order to prepare for the upcoming challenges in the field such as global competition, market opening, etc. In addition, every hospitals requires the creative and novel design which is different from the conventional concept to deal with various circumstances. Accordingly, various space arrangements are proposed against the past unified hospital type. This study is designed to consider and evaluate the prospects of hospital architecture by analyzing the space allocation type of representative hospitals which are being recently constructed in Korea.

The current hospital buildings try to support the functional needs and the social requests that is proper for so fast changes of the society. The historical changes of the hospital is affected by many direct or indirect factors as same as the societal changes. The factors of the changes are so various as the aspect of the disease, the development of medical care, the medical system, the medical facility, the social demands and so on. This thesis aims to investigate the historical traces of the ancient hospital wards through factors related to the changes therefor it will be known what factors affected to the changes of the ancient historical hospital wards. Finally it will be not only presupposed a proper counterproposal to the changes of a future hospital scope, but it will be also known the history of the hospital wards.

Recent hospital building design considers not only its functional space composition but also contemplates "patient focused concept" in the early design stage. It is also called "hospital unlike hospital" and, usually, architects put their effort in building's exterior design to serve the coziness for patients. Therefore, this research analyzed and evaluated the exterior design of The K University Hospital Competition, as a case study, to understand recent hospital design trend and also to suggest a vision for future hospital design.

The demends of oriental medical care have been increased continuously and the numbers of oariental medical hospital have been increased also. But the data for architectural planning and design of oriental medical hospital are very insufficient. So this research aims to get the basic data for architectural planning and design of oriental medical hospital.

Purpose: The characteristics of site plan of dentistry through examining the schools of dentistry and dental hospitals in Korea and comparison between them are necessary for the development of planning of the dental healthcare system. This study has been started to provide basic information for the planning of education and hospital architecture in dentistry. Methods: Literature review of space analysis and investigation on current status of dentistry in Korea have been conducted. The site plans of eleven schools of dentistry and dental hospitals have been analyzed with S3 axial analyzer in space syntax. Results: The result of this study can be summarized in four points. The first one is that the site plan of school of dentistry and dental hospital is influenced on the location of main campus in the city. The second one is that the types of relationship between dentistry and main campus are diverse from school and hospital in the main campus to independent dental campus in the city center. The third one is that the integration, connectivity and ERAM(3) of dental hospital are greater than school of dentistry and it means that dental hospital is located in easy access area compared with school of dentistry. The fourth one is that school of dentistry roles the connection space between main campus and dental hospital. Implications: It is necessary to analyze the site plan and arrangement of school of dentistry and dental hospital in the campus to develop the dental healthcare system in the city.

Purpose: There is little information about China's medical service system and health care facilities in Korean medical architecture papers, which is inconvenient for scholars engaged in medical building research and comparison. Futhermore, the transformation of the notion of health and the ascension of the service needs show the lack of medical function, and then make functions of hospital construction are always in the state of dynamic renewal. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the Chinese medical service system and general hospital related laws and regulations for future research to provide effective analysis of data, and find shortcomings. Methods: This study was conducted by a research on law and regulation of China's medical service system and general Hospital. Results: At present hospital construction in China is in the period of rapid development and it exposes the layout of medical health facilities is not reasonable and the service does not reach the designated position and so on. Overall, it requires more detailed guidelines to enhance the quality of medical health services. Implications: It is expected that the research of this paper will provide effective reference for future research on Chinese medical architecture system and medical facilities, and can promote and perfect the construction of Chinese medical architecture theory system.
