Abstract
Purpose: At the time of consensus on the necessity of appropriate guidelines for health care facilities suitable for Korea, the paper aimed to analyze the characteristics in the aspect of the system of the US Health Care Facility Guidelines(FGI Guidelines) and to suggest implications. Since the system is significant for the guidelines to be socially accepted and operated, this study focuses on the system. Methods: Literature studies focusing on the analysis of prior studies and the 2018 edition of the FGI Guidelines were conducted. Results: As a result of reviewing the history and outline of the FGI Guidelines, the derived characteristics of the system were governance, procedure, and composition. First, it had multi-layered organization and multidisciplinary members. Secondly, the focus is on the procedure of gathering opinions from industry and the public. Third, the Guidelines have been continuously evolving to reflect the needs of the times and changes in the medical environment, and the content framework and method of writing are user-friendly in order to prevent confusion caused by vast contents. Implications: First, we need to consider the composition of a private organization to prepare Korean health care facility guidelines. Second, it needs a system that can induce the participation of multidisciplinary experts. Third, a comprehensive and user friendly guideline needs to be constructed.
