초록

현재 우리나라의 의료전달체계는 1989년 이후 1,2,3차 진료체계로 구분하여 지역 간 진료과목별 균형유지와 더불어 의료자원의 낭비를 방지하고 있으나 의료시설의 대도시 집중에 따라 지역 간 의료서비스의 불균형이 발생되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중소도시인 진주시를 대상으로 접근성과 편리성이 강조되는 1차 의료서비스 질을 공간적 분포 특성에 근거하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 1차 의료시설 모두 공간적 분포에 대한 응집지수가 0~0.25로서 강한 응집도를 나타냈다. 필수진료과목의 경우 외과와 산부인과의 응집도가 높았으며 기타 진료과목은 성형외과와 안과의 응집도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 병원의 위치와 이용자층과의 상관성 분석을 수행한 결과, 필수진료과목의 경우 병원의 위치와 이용자층간의 상관관계는 약하게 나타났으며 기타 진료과목 중 한의원의 경우 응집도는 높았으나 이용자층이 많은 곳에 비교적 양호하게 분포되어 접근성이 가장 우수한 것으로 분석되었다. 하지만 한의원을 제외한 나머지 기타진료과목은 이용자층과 의료시설의 위치가 상이하여 접근성 측면에서 문제점이 발생되었다. 이러한 분석 결과를 토대로 1차 의료서비스를 이용하는 이용자층을 고려한 입지선정의 개선대책 마련이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Current medical delivery system in Korea has been distinguished into three types; primary medical facilities, secondary facilities, and tertiary facilities since 1989. This system prevents the waste of medical resources along with the maintenance of balance according to the medical treatment subjects. However, it is inevitable that the imbalance of the medical services among regions has been generated due to the concentration of the medical facilities on large cities. In this regard, this study attempted to evaluate the quality of the primary medical services, emphasizing accessibility and convenience targeting Jinju city, a small and medium-sized city, based on the distribution characteristics of the space. The study results show that cohesion index about the spatial distribution of the primary care facilities was 0~0.25. It conducted a correlation analysis between the location of the hospitals and users, based on the study results. Finally, it is demonstrated the correlation between the location of the hospitals and users tended to be low, while, the cohesion of the Oriental medicine clinics was high in other treatment subjects, and the accessibility to the Oriental medicine clinics was the highest because most Oriental medicine clinics were distributed to the places where users were many. However, on account that the locations of the medical facilities and users were varied in other treatment subjects except for the Oriental medicine clinics, problems were generated in terms of the accessibility. Therefore, it is judged that the preparation of the measures to improve the selection of lots in consideration of users, who use the primary medical services, is required.
