Abstract

The aim of this study was to perform comparative analysis of the duties of 7 new roles of HIMs in Malaysian and Korean hospitals of a similar scale. A Malaysian general hospital with a scale of 272 hospital beds was chosen. The researcher visited a Malaysian hospital in person and interviewed the staff in charge over a 2 week period from July 22nd 2013 to August 2nd 2013. For domestic hospitals, 13 general hospitals with 270 hospital beds, similar to the Malaysian general hospital, were chosen. Phone interviews with the department recorded the duty recording work. Regarding 7 new roles of Health Information Manager (HIM), although the role as a Health information manager and Security Officer in Malaysian general hospital was not defined, 30.8% performed their role in Korean general hospitals. The classification of disease & procedure within the role of Clinical data specialist was performed by both countries, and while the tumor registry was done in a Malaysian general hospital, only 15.4% of Korean general hospitals were operating. The statistics of the discharged patients were not measured in the Malaysian general hospital but 76.9% of Korean general hospitals recorded these statistics. Although 22.1% of Korean general hospitals operated registration work of special disease, Malaysian general hospital not only had a total legal contagious disease registration, but also took charge of information registration of hospital births and deceased ones. Other than these, the Patient Information Coordinator, Data Quality Manager, Document and Repository Manager, Research and Decision Support Analyst roles were not done by either country. The new role of HIM is operated in a low percentage in Korean middle and small hospitals. Therefore, to clearly establish the role of HIM in Korea, and have middle and small hospitals to operate such a role, it is essential for the related association to give continuous education and provide support to clarify the role within the hospital working environment. It is desirable to benchmark Malaysian general hospital's registration work on special diseases and others, and expand the work to improve overall.

본 연구는 말레이시아 병원과 유사규모의 한국 병원을 대상으로 보건정보관리자(HIM)의 새로운 역할 7가지에 대한 직무를 비교연구하기 위한 것이다. 말레이시아 병원은 272병상 규모의 종합병원을 선정하였다. 말레이시아는 해당병원을 연구자가 직접 방문하여 담당자 면담 등을 실시하였고 기간은 2013년 7월 22일부터 8월 2일까지 약 2주간이었다. 국내병원은 말레이시아와 병상규모가 유사한 병상대의 종합병원 총 13곳을 대상으로 유선 상 질의응답을 통해 확인하였다. HIM의 새로운 7가지 역할에서는 Health information manager로서 말레이시아 병원은 ICT가, 한국 병원은 조사대상 병원의 30.8%가 역할을 수행하고 있었다. Clinical data specialist역할 관련 classification of disease & procedure는 양국 모두 실시하고 있었고 tumor registry은 말레이시아 병원은 담당하고 있었던 반면 한국 병원에서는 15.4%만이 담당하고 있었다. 퇴원환자 통계는 말레이시아에서는 담당하지 않았고 한국은 76.9%에서 담당하고 있었다. 특수질환 등록업무는 한국은 22.1%에서 담당한 반면 말레이시아는 전체 법정전염병 등록 뿐 아니라 병원출생아와 사망자에 대한 정보등록까지 실시하고 있었다. 그 외 Patient Information Coordinator, Data Quality Manager, Document and Repository Manager, Research and Decision Support Analyst 역할은 양국 모두에서 실시하고 있지 않았다. HIM의 새로운 역할은 한국 중소병원에서 실천률이 낮은 편이다. 따라서 한국전체에서 HIM 역할이 확고히 정립되려면 중소규모 병원까지도 그 역할을 잘 수행할 수 있도록 해당 협회차원의 지속적인 교육, 지원을 통해 일부 대형병원뿐 아니라 중소병원을 포함한 전체 병원에서 역할이 명확화 될 수 있는 노력이 필요하다. 특히 특수질환 등 등록업무는 말레이시아 병원이 한국 병원에 비해 역할이 잘 정립되어 있어 이를 벤치마킹하여 업무를 확대하는 방안도 모색할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.
