Abstract
The facial palsy is one of the most common illness in Western-Korean collaborative treatment (hereinafter "collaborative treatment"). The purpose of this study is to analyze facial palsy patients'collaborative treatment use patterns. By analysing the 2014 National Health Insurance Review and Assessment Patient Sample Data (NPS 2014) with the episode of care unit, we have found the following results. First, the collaborative treatment is preferred by patients over 50 years old and female. Second, western medicine mainly focuses on diagnosis and medical examination while korean medicine and collaborative treatment focus more on treatment activity. Third, western medicine showed the shortest treatment period, followed by korean medicine and collaborative treatment. However, the cost of medical treatment per day is highest in western medicine. The analysis of the use patterns of collaborative treatment shown in the study is expected to provide a direction for the development of clinical practice guidelines and the establishment of medical policies in the future.
