Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the status quo of hospital-based home care utilization in Korea from 2008 to 2017. Methods: Data from a total of 1,396 medical institutions, 350,390 patients, and 3,563 home care nurses were analyzed using claim data from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. Results: The number of hospital-based home care agencies decreased from 177 in 2008 to 115 in 2014. This number started to increase in 2015 and reached 179 in 2017. The number of hospital-based home care patients declined from 35,056 in 2008 to a low of 26,848 in 2013. This number started to increase in 2014 and reached 67,863 in 2017. Essential hypertension was the most common disease among hospital-based home care patients from 2008 to 2015. The number of hospital-based home care visits declined from about 500,000 in 2008 to a low of 362,000 in 2013. This number started to increase in 2014 and reached 658,000 in 2017. Conclusion: It is necessary to vigilantly monitor hospital-based home care agencies, patients, and the utilization of services. This may help establish platforms for providing community and home-based nursing services for the super-aged society in Korea.
