Abstract
This study was conducted to identify and compare the needs of the integrated by local government, and to provide basic data for the provision of integrated care services. This is a secondary data analysis study using data from 10,299 elderly people living in 17 local governments who participated in the '2017 National Survey on the Aged People in Korea'. The difference in medical needs, daily living support needs, and social activity support needs were 2.4, 6.0, and 2.0 times higher in the highest regions than in the lowest regions. In addition, the size of the medical needs group, welfare needs group, and integrated care needs group varied by region. Through this study, it was confirmed that the level of integrated care needs varied by region. Therefore, in order to efficiently provide the services at the national level, it is necessary to accurately assess the needs of the aged in each local government, and accordingly, prioritize and identify available resources within the care service and appropriate allocation.
