Purposes: When rehabilitation services are provided remotely using information and communication technologies to patients living at home, there is an advantage in providing rehabilitation services to individuals in their everyday social and physical environment, which can improve functional outcomes and satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the pilot project by analyzing the outpatient and inpatient medical use and expenses of patients who participated in the rehabilitation patient home-based care pilot project. Methodology: To analyze the effectiveness of the home-based care pilot project for rehabilitation patients, health insurance claims data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service was used. The subjects of analysis were patients who had undergone major lower extremity joint replacement surgery, including hip, knee, and ankle joint replacement surgery, and patients who had lower extremity fracture surgery, which were the targets of the rehabilitation patient home-based care pilot project. To compare medical use and expenses between patients participating in the rehabilitation patient home-based care pilot project and those not participating, chi-square test, t-test, and multiple regression analysis were performed. Findings: As a result of analyzing the number of medical use cases and expenses of patients who participated and those who did not participate in the rehabilitation patient home-based care pilot project, the average outpatient medical use and outpatient medical expenses per person for participating patients were lower than those for patients who did not participate. The average hospitalization cost per person and the average length of stay per person were also lower than those of patients who did not participate. Practical Implications: Home-based care for rehabilitation patients continues to provide medical services at home, not at medical institutions, and can be expected to reduce readmissions and complications by resolving patients' emergency situations at home or on their own, thereby reducing medical use.

Purpose: This study investigates the factors influencing medical school faculty's entrepreneurial decisions and prioritizes these factors. Methodology: The study examines the determinants of entrepreneurial decisions among medical school faculty by reviewing prior studies. These determinants were categorized into four perspectives: resource-based, industrial organization, entrepreneur characteristics, and other. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP), the study analyzed the relative priorities of 27 specific indicators. Surveys were conducted with medical school faculty with startup experience, professors with relevant expertise, and organizational leaders involved in entrepreneurship. A total of 33 responses were validated for consistency, and an empirical analysis identified the priority of factors influencing medical school faculty startups. Findings: The findings reveal that 'entrepreneur characteristics' and 'institutional and organizational support' are the highest priority factors for medical school faculty. Key resource-based factors include the 'leave of absence' or 'concurrent employment policy,' availability of 'professional human resources,' and 'organizational support' specializing in startups. An integrated analysis shows that while intellectual resources such as research publications, patents, and physical space are necessary, the highest priority is given to leave policies, professional human resources, and organizational support. Practical Implication: Medical school faculty are recognized as key innovation agents in the bio-health industry. The results provide crucial insights for policymakers and stakeholders at governmental, institutional, and organizational levels. Strengthening self-competence, increasing entrepreneurship opportunities, and establishing professional human resources and organizational support within medical universities or hospitals are critical for facilitating medical school faculty startups.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of GWP (Great Work Place) organizational culture on job satisfaction and job performance in hospital. The GWP organizational culture was measured by components of trust (credibility, respect, fairness), pride, and fun. A research model were established and empirically tested based on the three variables: GWP organizational culture, job satisfaction, and job performance. A survey with 76 questions was conducted targeting employees at a general hospital located in a metropolitan city in Korea. The results were verified using the SPSS statistical program, and multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the relationships between the variables. The study findings revealed that respect and pride, as components of GWP organizational culture, had a positive impact on job satisfaction, while trust and pride positively influenced job performance. These results suggest that building a GWP organizational culture is crucial for generating better performance in hospital. Furthermore, the study provides practical implications, indicating that focusing on specific components of GWP organizational culture may be more effective in improving organizational performance.

Purposes: The research is a cross-sectional study to analyze the impact of senior's social participation on their perception of well-dying. Methods: This research was conducted using data from 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans. The participants were 9,920 individuals aged over 65. Social Participations and Well-Dying perceptions were investigated as a self-reported questionnaire. The analysis was performed through independent t-test, ANOVA, Multiple regression analysis and dividing house income, house type, use of senior facilities a sub-group analysis. Findings: The results showed that if senior people actively participate in social participation, their perception of well-dying increased than others. Also, according to sub-group analysis, people who had lower income, lower education level, living alone and not using senior facilities had lower effectiveness of social participations on well-dying perception than others. Practical Implications: The study findings show that supporting the social participation of seniors plays and important role in improving their perception of well-dying. Therefore, the government and local communities need to provide policies and institutional environments for vulnerable social group to encourage social participation with continuous interest and support. Furthermore, improve of the quality of life in old age and assist in the process of preparing for well-dying is needed.

Purposes: This study aims to analyze the location patterns, concentration, and accessibility of clinics in Seoul with the grids of a geographic information system(GIS) and provide useful indicators for research on hospital and clinic management and policies based on the results. The study especially sets out to identify areas falling behind in the service of the essential medical care departments based on an analysis with 250m×250m grids and contribute to efficient medical business management and public healthcare policies based on the results. Methodology: The study analyzed clinics in Seoul in terms of concentration, distribution and clustering patterns, accessibility, and hot spots by dividing the entire city into 500m×500m cells and generating grids. The accessibility analysis for the essential medical care departments was especially in detail based on grids in a 250m×250m cell size. Findings: The Herfindahl results show that plastic surgery and rehabilitation medicine recorded the highest concentration level. General medicine and dermatology recorded the highest Moran's I value, and internal medicine was the highest in hot spots. Obstetrics and gynecology capable of child delivery showed considerably lower accessibility in the grids corresponding to Gangseo-gu, Yangcheon-gu, and Gwanak-gu. Surgery had low accessibility in the grids corresponding to the northern parts of Gangseo-gu for the total population. Practical Implication: Unlike previous studies whose analyses covered wide areas, the present study examined minute spatial patterns, concentration, and accessibility based on an analysis with 500m×500m or 250m×250m grids. Based on its findings, the study expects a more minute analysis for future research on medical business management and policies.
