As the electronic medical records systems (EMRs) are introduced into the hospitals in Korea and the needs of chief stakehoders of medical records are changed, the environments related to creating and managing medical records has been changed dynamically. At this moment it might be meaningful to examine medical records based on records management principles rather than information management principles. The purpose of this paper is to apply the KS X ISO 1549 standards, which covers the principles of records management, to hospital medical records management and assess the current quality of medical records management, and define a few tasks of improvement for hospitals. To achieve this goal, this study has performed following activities: Firstly, principles that could be applied to medical records management were prepared for each record management steps described in the standards, such as capture, registration, classification, storage, access, trace and disposition, and 22 principles were selected from those 7 steps of the record management. Secondly, the Y hospital, which is affiliated with a medical school in Seoul, was chosen to evaluate the current situation regarding medical records management. The department head of the medical records management team in Y hospital was interviewed and the present status was evaluated according to each principle. Thirdly, tasks for improvement were suggested, in such stages as access, trace and disposition. With this study as a cornerstone, useful implications are expected to be gathered from future studies that apply standards for metadata of records, management systems for records, and record management systems to medical record management in hospitals.

Legislative stability of the production and management of electronic records and the enhancement of infrastructure have reached significant levels through relentless efforts of academic and public institutions in the field. In addition, appraisal and disposal of records also have to be done by retention periods, business functions, administrational and historical values, and certain procedures. The law specifies that public institutions must assign record managers. The underlying reason is for record managers to arbitrate the review process when records are to be evaluated and discarded and to prevent unauthorized disuses. It is also for just evaluations with the professionalism. Evaluation and discard of records have significant meanings in record management. Thus, these processes need to be handled properly in the standard record management system. Evaluation should be proceeded by the law enacted under the task functional and social agreement. Since, the record discard is decided through the technical and logical process, the support for evaluation and discard works are important above all things. In this paper, I deducted functional requirements of standard record management system by analyzing methods including the analysis of legislation and standard related to electronic records and the examination of the user's manual of record management system. I researched through the interviews of the record managers in public institutions. Based on this research, I deducted the implications for the evaluation of standard record management system and the estimation of functional requirements for discard. I also discussed future directions of improvements and follow-up studies.

In South Korea the records management system nationwide has been developed based on 'the Act on public agencies' records management' which was first enacted in 1999. Furthermore, 'the Act on public records management 2006' has shifted a paradigm of records management to the digital records world. In this context, the records management standard, KS X ISO 15489 has a profound significance. Based on the principle of that there should not be any conflict between nationwide records management laws and standard, this study explores a meaning of the standard and discusses contradictive elements between the laws and standard. On the basis of the main contents of the standard's five categories, the study analyzes the laws in comparison with the standard. As a result, the study provides remedies for the current records management law and discusses a prospect of records management strategies in the 21st Century.

The physical access or control of records with material entities is relatively easy. However, in the case of electronic records, due to its heightened applicative aspect that allows anyone with the authority to have access over the data, it requires an appropriate standard and stability to ensure the authenticity and integrity of electronic records. This study performed functional evaluation by extracting the minimum critical items from the national functional requirements documents and standards to explore the access control function that play an important role for the standard records management system to maintain quality requirements of electronic records. Based on this checklist, it evaluates whether the standard records management system properly carries out the access control function and investigates the current condition of application to practical records management work. Records managers generally do not use access control function, which may be because they do not feel the necessity, since the application of records management system is not yet actively promoted. In order for the standard records management system to be developed to become a more active system, it requires system improvement as well as considerations for below factors: First, although the necessity of establishing access control conditions is already recognized, it requires a clear stipulation of the regulation. Second, measures must be taken to implement access control in the records management system through document security solution. Third, it requires self-reflection of records manager, who utilizes the records management system. Instead of placing all responsibility on the National Archives, which established the system, professionals must further develop the system through continuous evaluation and improvement. Finally, a general discussion is required to publicize the issue of functional improvement of records management system. Although there is a bulletin board already created for this purpose, its users are extremely limited and it only deals with current problems. A space in online as well as in offline is required to solve the fundamental problems and exchange opinions.

In order to actively use of records and information in current digital record management systems, we have to check whether a system is designed to fully support the user of records and whether the good use of the system is being. This study analyzed the status of the use of the search function of Records Management System(RMS) for public agencies, and evaluated them. In order to investigate the status of the use of the search function, it surveyed records managers of public agencies using the RMS. The result showed that records managers unsatisfied with the usability and the search performance of the RMS. To evaluate the search function, it identified the functional requirement of the system and develops a checklist that can be used for evaluation. Two assessments were conducted. Firstly, as pre-evaluation, it assessed the degree of implementation of the current RMS according to the checklist as an inspection chart using document examination method. Secondly, it assessed the degree of implementation using a survey of records managers of public agencies that use the RMS. Assessment results show the improvement of the basic features that are essential to the system is required. In particular, the search function is required to improve user-friendliness for the user. For the advance of RMS, this study discusses the necessity for improvement of the search functions, the build of continuous maintenance and management system, and the user education.

A public enterprise is part of the public sector, and public enterprises possess entrepreneurship. However, the characteristics of a public enterprise have not been reflected in the public records management system. In 2011, the ISO 30300 Series, a records management system, was developed. This indicates a more comprehensive management approach with regard to records management. Moreover, an introduction of the certification system of the ISO 30300 Series is expected. Therefore, this study reviews the characteristics of public enterprises and the necessity of introducing a records management system as well as analyzes the factors for its introduction. It also suggests an improved evaluation index and the requirements for public records management.

Electronic records produced by central administrative agencies are transferred to the National Archives of Korea. In the absence of defects or errors in electronic records, it is a proof that the government's electronic records management system is operating normally. Various problems have been found in this process, and there still remain problems to be solved. At the heart of it is a standard records management system, which has been continuously improved. In this paper, I introduce the functional improvement of the record management functions of the standard records management system. Among them, the important matters describe the background and reason for the improvement. In addition, the direction of development of the standard records management system was examined in terms of recognition conversion of recordkeepers, strengthen collaboration between recordkeepers and developers, improving records management metadata quality, linking related systems, automating records management, and IT environment change.

The government-affiliated organizations are required the autonomous record preservation and management, considering their management independence and specialty. In absence of general record management system for government-affiliated organizations, establishment of the standard; Functional requirements of systems with record management for government-affiliated organizations, etc. NAK/S 24:2014(v1.0) is meaningful because it can consensus the functional requirements and directions which are considered when organizations develop in-house record management systems. This study aims to analyze functional requirements and suggest procedures and strategies for application of the standard in the case of development of the record management system.

Previously, the International Council of Archives (ICA) provided the General International Standard Archival Description (ISAD(G)) and the International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (ISAAR(CPF)) for the systematic archival description by the Committee on Best Practice and Standards. Recently, the new conceptual model and ontology, which is called "Record in Context" (RIC), is being developed by the ICA Experts Group on Archival Description (EGAD). For developing the new archival standard, ICA EGAD has referenced the archival standards of Australia, Spain, and Finland, as well as the FRBRoo integrated model of the museum and library fields and the legacy ICA's descriptive standards. This study, therefore, examined these international trends on the archival descriptive standards and derived a number of suggestions for improvement. As a result, descriptive standards are changing from the guidelines for the standardized archival description to the upper conceptual model and ontology for the flexible archival description and sharing of archival metadata. There is a need to adapt the change of the information environment and promote cooperation among cultural heritage institutions.
