Abstract
Purpose: This comparative study analyzed information systems including manpower, contents of service, clients, and costs among four nations. Methods: A literature review of relevant publications from Korea, United States, Japan, and Germany supported the use of several plans to activate home nursing care services under the long-term care insurance system in Korea. Results: Korean home nursing care services require quality improvements. The results indicated that a rule is necessary that rations simple visiting service and home nursing care services under the long-term care insurance system, that an integrated management system for elderly care is required, and that the revised delivery of services needs to establish and reflect on various factors to estimate the value in a home visiting nursing care cost system. Conclusion: The data should be valuable in establishment of home nursing care services under the long-term insurance system in Korea.
