  • There are many uses of control charts in health-care monitoring and in public-health surveillance. For example, control charts are used in monitoring and improvement of hospital performance, in monitoring chronic diseases and infectious diseases, and so on. We introduce the Variable Life-Adjusted Display (VLAD) chart and propose the method for choosing control limits of the VLAD chart to give specified in-control properties.

  • The activities of general physicians (GPs) in health subcenters and their competency for clinical skills were assessed to develop a scheme to improve the training program. One hundred-twenty GPs in southern four provinces (Kyungpook, Kyungnam, Chunpook, Chunnam) were randomly selected and 97 were interviewed between January 9 and February 10, 1984. Of the 97 GPs, 86 provided all the information we requested. Average number of patient visits per health subcenter in a day was 30-40 in the demonstration project area for the class II medical insurance whereas it was 3-4 visits in other area. The interviewees were asked to rate their competency in 63 clinical skills. The skills in which over 50% of the interviewees rated themselves competent were only 12 items including IM injection, IV injection, wound dressing, etc. Less than 10% of the interviewees rated themselves competent in such skills as maternal health care, emergency medical care, preventive and promotive health services. Most part of the training program of the NIH for the GPs were not applicable to their field work as the training contents were unrealistic. Clinical training at a local general hospital was of great help in 38.8% and the rest of training was not much helpful as the training was inadequate due to lack of trainer or indifference of the trainer. For more effective training of the GPs, the training program of the NIH should be modified to be more realistic and utilize competent field workers as the instructors. It may be more effective if the training is carried out at several local centers. Ideal length of the clinical training for the GPs is 4 months. A pocketbook should be developed that includes specific skills to master during the clinical training and require the trainer to confirm the achievement. The Ministry of Health and Social Affairs should provide the training hospitals with a training guideline and evaluate the training activities and make sure that the training hospital has specialist for each of the 4 major clinical departments. The Ministry of Health and Social Affairs should provide the GPs with a continuing education to assist the problem solving in the field and motivate them to actively carry out the health program. A province may be divided into several regions and a supervisory committee may be organized with specialists in each region. The committee may hold a meeting for the GPs periodically and respond to the specific questions of the GPs by mail.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 공중보건의들이 환자 치료와 학술적인 연구를 하기 위해 요구하는 정보를 효율적으로 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 2000년 10월 23일부터 11월 11일까지 3주 동안 공중보건의 298명을 대상으로 조사하였으며 이용자들의 정보요구와 이용행위로 정보수집방법과 정보원, 그리고 도서관 이용정도와 만족도를 평가한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 공중보건의들은 환자치료와 최근의 연구동향을 알고자할 때 정보를 가장 많이 필요로 하는 것으로 나타났다. 가장 많이 이용하는 정보원은 단행본(교과서)과 학술지로 인쇄본을 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 2) 공중보건의들이 그들의 정보요구를 충족시키기 위해 선호하는 정보수입방법은 인터넷 검색과 동료들로 그 이유는 정보접근의 편이성과 정확성 최신성인 것으로 나타났다. 3) 이용자의 50.3%가 정보이용에 어려움을 느낀다고 하였는데 그 이유는 주로 지역적인 문제와 문헌전달의 지연에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 4) 공중보건의들은 정보가 필요할 때 주로 도서관을 이용하여 필요한 정보를 얻는 경향이 있으나 대체적으로 보아 도서관 이용빈도수는 매우 적은 것으로 나타났다.

  • 공중보건치과의사 및 공직치과위생사들이 사재를 쏟아 부어 겨우 행사를 마무리하는 경우도 종종 생기게 되는데 이러한 현상은 결국 일선에서의 참여 의욕저하라는 근본적인 문제점을 초래할 수밖에 없다. 따라서 보건복지부에서 관련지침을 내려보내 줌으로써 각 보건소 및 보건지소의 예산에 적정 수준의 구강보건사업비가 책정될 수 있도록 하거나, 치협이 각 지역의 치과의사회에 대하여 적극적으로 업무 협조 요청을 함으로써 매년 일정수준의 구강보건사업비를 지원할 수 있도록 이끌어내야 한다.
