Abstract

This study analyzed the relationship between the convergence performance in hospital. This study examined previous research and calculated centralized index using diagnosis related groups. In addition, multiple regression analysis was used based on LOS in order to understand the effect of focused strategy which quality of medical inpatient service. The centralized level was examined by analyzing national inpatient sample data using 'Internal Herfindahl-Hirshman index' This study is significant because it reviewed medical inpatient service quality by measuring hospital centralized level which has been rarely studied before Korea.

본 연구의 목적은 병원의 입원환자 진료서비스와 환자 재원일수와의 관계를 알아보기 위함이다. 병원 진료의 집중화 정도를 측정하기 위하여 진단명 기준 환자군(Diagnosis Related Group, 이하 DRG)을 이용하여 내부 허핀달 지수(IHI: Internal Herfindahl-Hirshman Index)를 산출하였다. 그 다음 병원 운영의 효율성에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 병원별 평균 재원일수를 종속 변수로 하여 분석하였다. 입원 진료 서비스의 집중화 정도와 재원 일수는 음의 상관관계로 집중화 정도가 높을수록 재원일수가 유의미하게 짧아지고 있다. 이는 다시 해석하면 입원 진료의 집중화 전략은 병원 운영 측면에서는 병상 회전율을 높여주고 환자 결과 측면에서는 건강성과에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 전략이라고 할 수 있다.
