Abstract

Over the past five years, the number of patients with sleep disorders has increased by about 250,000 from 840,000 in 2017 to 1.09 million in 2021. In addition, sleep disorder is a factor that causes dementia risk factors, and furthermore, the population with sleep disorder is a very important policy issue in terms of stable health insurance financial management in the future in terms of national health management in the super-aging trend. Therefore, this study aims to establish an efficient treatment environment in medical institutions responsible for the current status of polysomnography and effective reimbursement policies for the recently increasing population with sleep disorders, and appropriate sleep management policies for future sleep disorders through correct implementation. We are trying to find out the actual condition and improvement plan through interviews with related organizations and experts.

지난 5년간 수면질환자 수는 2017년 84만명에서 2021년 109만명으로 약 25만명이 증가하는 등 수면장애인구에 관한 정부의 수면다원검사 급여화이후 그 관리비용은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 또한 수면장애가 치매 위험인자를 유발하는 요인이며, 나아가 초고령화 추세에서 전국민 건강관리라는 측면에서 수면장애인구는 향후 안정적인 건강보험 재정관리 측면에서도 매우 중요한 정책이슈이다. 따라서 본 연구는 최근들어 증가하는 수면장애인구에 관한 수면다원검사현황 및 효과적인 급여정책화가 실제 이를 담당하는 의료기관에서 효율적인 진료환경을 구축하고 있으며, 그 올바른 시행을 통해 향후 수면장애에 관한 적정한 수면관리정책으로 기능하고 있는지 관련기관 및 전문가 인터뷰를 통해 그 실태와 개선방안을 모색하고자 한다.
