This study focuses on the factors that make the financing decision of private hospitals in Korea. Data used in this study were collected from 98 hospitals with complete general data of current status as well as financial statements. They were chosen from the 138 hospitals that passed the accreditation process by the Korean Hospital Association from 1996 to 2000 for the purpose of accrediting training hospitals. The dependent variables in this study consist of total liabilities to total assets, borrowings to total assets. The independent variables are ownership, hospital type, teaching status, location, bed size, period of establishment, asset structure, profitability, growth, tax shields, volatility of profit, competition(market concentration), and other factors. The major findings of this study are as follows. The factors found to have significant effect on liabilities to total assets are teaching status(-), asset structure(-), profitability(-), tax shields(+), and business risk(-). University hospitals have less liabilities than the non-university hospitals. It was also confirmed that high profitability, high fixed asset, high volatility of profit and low tax shields results in decrease in liabilities. The factors that significantly affect on borrowings to total assets are teaching status(-), period of establishment(-), volatility of profit(-) and competition(+).

Purpose: Since infectious disease hospitals are premised on emergency operations, the operational efficiency of secured personnel, equipment, facilities, etc. is relatively low. In order to increase such normal operational efficiency, it is necessary to flexibly operate facilities and operations during normal and emergency times. The purpose of this study is to suggest the architectural planning method focusing on the space composition and circulation of the regional infectious disease hospital which can increase the operational efficiency in the private hospitals. Methods: Through literature review, functional requirements of infectious disease hospitals were identified, and related personnels inter-views and field surveys were conducted to understand the spatial composition and circulation requirements of infectious disease hospitals. Results: Through the complete separation between the negative pressure zone and the general zone, even when the negative pressure zone is completely closed, the general zone should be operated separately to achieve operational efficiency. In addition, the separation of the negative pressure zone and the general zone should simultaneously consider the optimal space configuration and movement for each function while the zone settings match in the floor plan of each department and the overall cross-sectional configuration of the hospital. Implications: Infectious disease hospitals intended to be installed in private hospitals should not apply excessive space just for safety reasons and should plan to ensure their operational efficiency.

The purpose of this study is program development for efficient medical institution management and finding comprehensive measures to increase the credibility of medical institutions. For this purpose, a survey on medical service satisfaction was conducted for elderly people aged 65 or older living in four other areas. The results of the analysis were as follows: First, the survey participants had higher confidence in private medical institutions. Second, there was no relationship between the reliability of public and private medical institutions and the selection of medical institutions. Third, the environment of the survey subjects was related to the selection of medical institutions. The credibility of the surveyed public and private medical institutions affects the selection of medical institutions, and the economic power and understanding of the medical institutions also influence the selection of medical institutions.. Therefore, it is suggested that public medical institutions need to improve the satisfaction of medical services in the future, and management efficiency of public medical institutions in addition to private medical institutions is urgently needed.

대한민국의 의료보험은 크게 국가에서 운영하는 국민건강보험과 국민이 선택적으로 가입하는 민간의료보험으로 나눌 수 있다. 국민건강보험과는 달리 민간의료보험 청구와 정산은 각 보험사별로 이루어지고, 또한 그 절차도 각자 독자적인 방법과 순서를 따라 진행되어 보험가입자의 불편 해소 및 업무의 효과적 추진을 위한 방안이 모색되어왔다. 이에 민간의료보헙협의체(KPPO)에서는 2009년부터 HNIP의 바로One 서비스를 통하여 병원, 보험회사, 보험가입자를 연계하는 보험 청구 및 지원서비스를 개발하여 운영하고 있다. 의료기관-보험사-보험가입자를 연계하는 전략적 협력 융합 서비스 구축을 토대로, 기존에 서로 연계되지 않고 오프라인으로 진행되던 보험금 청구 프로세스를 효과적이고 체계적인 관계로 발전시켰다. 그리고, 다자간의 새로운 정보 유통망의 구축 및 융합 서비스를 통하여 업무의 표준화, 다자간의 관련 업무 프로세스의 효율화를 도모하였다. 이러한 융합서비스를 통하여 규모의 경제, 고객의 편의 및 만족 증대, 기업의 사회적 책임 달성, 신뢰의 구축 등 융합서비스 구축의 다양한 시너지효과를 기대한다.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic materials needed to enhance quality of organizational life by identifying the improvements of labor union management in the perspective of hospital organization management. Materials were collected from administrators, nurses and medical technicians in target hospitals from March 3 to March 3 to March 30, 2010 through survey questionnaires. The main results of this study were as follows: 1. The commitment level of the subjects according to their satisfaction was higher when the administrators both in Private hospitals and Public hospitals were not satisfied in their works. 2. The commitment level of the subjects according to the subjects' job dedication level was higher those who had higher emotional attachment to their job in all vocations in both Private hospitals and Public hospitals. 3. The commitment level of the subjects according to the subjects' labor union involvement was higher in those who had higher satisfaction in labor union and perceived their colleagues' attitudes more positively in all vocations in both Private Hospitals and Public Hospitals. 4. From the results of multiple regression analysis to identify major influencing factors of labor union commitment level, In Private hospital employees, those who had senior officer posts in labor union and higher normative commitment showed higher commitment union. Therefore hospital managers should have democratic and flexible attitudes toward labor union. Additionally, as colleagues attitudes is important determinant in union commitment, hospital managers should have countermeasures to enhance the work atmosphere of hospital employees.
