Abstract

The purpose of this study was to ascertain new policies fo the development of the Korean Hospital Accreditation Program (HAP) by comparing and reviewing the domestic HAP of Korea, the U. S. and Australia as well as the International Accreditation Program of the International Society for Health Care Quality. The results of this study are as follows. First, it is necessary to improve the standards of the HAP such as 'patient and community centered standards' and 'staffing related standards'. Second, it is necessary to strengthen patient safety through the HAP. Third, the linkage among the HAP, clinical indicators and patient experience evaluation should be strengthened. Fourth, the competencies of surveyors should be improved. Fifth, the HAP of small and medium hospitals also needs to be vitalized. Sixth, it is necessary to improve the disclosure of the healthcare quality evaluation results. The findings of this study can be used as a basis to improve the Korean HAP.

본 연구는 국내 의료기관인증제도와 미국과 호주의 의료기관인증제도 및 국제의료질향상학회의 국제인증프로그램에 대해 비교 고찰함으로써 우리나라 의료기관인증제도의 발전을 위한 시사점을 제시하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 환자 및 지역사회 중심의 관점 강화, 인력배치 기준 강화 등 의료기관 인증기준의 개선이 필요하다. 둘째, 의료기관인증제도를 통한 환자안전의 강화가 필요하다. 셋째, 의료기관인증제도와 임상질지표 및 환자경험평가 연계를 강화해야 한다. 넷째, 조사위원의 역량을 강화해야 한다. 다섯째, 중소병원의 인증제도 참여 활성화가 필요하다. 여섯째, 의료 질 평가 결과 공개의 강화가 요구된다. 본 연구 결과는 우리나라 의료기관인증제도의 개선을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
