This study examined to identify the factors influencing on inpatients' satisfaction with hospitalization and willingness to recommend hospital to others. Data from the 2018 National Patient Experience Survey were used for the analysis. Of the 593 patients experiencing inpatient services, multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the factors such as physician care, nursing care, facility and administrative support, and healthcare system on inpatients' satisfaction after controlling for their socio-demographic and health related factors. The study found that physician care, nursing care, administrative support and healthcare system were related to inpatients' satisfaction and willingness to recommend hospital. To improve inpatients' satisfaction, it is necessary to improve healthcare professionals' overall patient-centerdness attitude, user friendly hospital facilities and administrative support services and efforts to trust and satisfaction on healthcare system from the patients' perspectives.

As facilities and equipments for learning activities in college campuses are handled by mass public, their contact surfaces may function as major routes of cross-infection of microbial pathogens. However, unlike items in cafeteria which is the typical target for campus hygiene, those surfaces are not under regular surveillance or sanitary maintenance. In this study, I made a quantitative comparison of the risk of being exposed to microbial pathogens from use of learning facilities such as classrooms and library to the risk from use of cafeteria, for about 1,500 students in a college. Regarding total coliforms as surrogate model of bacterial pathogens, exposure rates were estimated for each item in learning facilities and cafeterias by devising deterministic exposure algorithms based on bacterial abundance, contract rates and transfer rates. The exposure rate in cafeterias was 1.0 CFU/day while learning facilities imposed the rate of 0.5 CFU/day, which reaches a half of the exposure rate in cafeterias. However, 70% of students were exposed more in learning facilities than cafeteria because individuals had different frequencies in using cafeteria. Based on the results, some human-contact surfaces of learning facilities, including elevator buttons, may require regular sanitary maintenance. An efficient sanitary maintenance considering seasonality in diversity of pathogens involved with cross-infections is suggested besides improvement of personal hygiene among students.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that satisfy health services of cancer patients in university hospitals. 420 cancer patients who had visited hospitals in the capital and regional area were selected for this study. The data was collected through questionnaire survey along with a face-to-face interview from March. 21 to March. 30, 2011. This major findings of this research are as follows. First, satisfaction of cancer patients regarding health services is determined by the quality, kindness and detailed explanation of medical team. Second, health services satisfaction of cancer patients is strongly related to good convenience facilities and up-to-date medical equipments. Third, satisfaction of cancer patients regarding health services was statistically proved to have no significant relation to easy accessibility of hospital. Therefore, it is very important for university hospitals to improve quality of medical staff such as ability, kindness and detailed explanation of doctor, offer good convenience facilities and the most advanced equipments. It is expected that the outcomes of this study will contribute to the satisfaction improvement for cancer patients in university hospitals.

지난해 10월 경북 예천에서 고병원성 조류인플루엔자(AI)가 첫 발생한 이후 총 109건의 고병원성 AI가 발생했다. 매년 겨울에 AI가 발생했던 것과 비교하면 시기적으로 빠른 올해의 AI에 대해 전문가들은 그 위험도가 더 크다고 입을 모으고 있다. 특히 이른바 '패턴을 잃은' 이번 AI 양상을 두고 2017년부터 시작된 오리사육제한, 일명 휴지기 제도의 효과가 약해지고 있는 것 아니냐는 우려의 목소리도 높다. 때문에 AI 발생의 주범처럼 지목되는 오리농가들에 대해서도 오리 사육제한이 아닌 열악하고 낙후된 사육시설을 개선해야 한다는 주장이 더욱 힘을 얻고 있다. 한국오리협회를 중심으로 오리업계는 한 목소리로 오리사육시설 개선을 지속적으로 요구해 왔다. 그러나 현실적 여건에 부딪힌 오리농가들의 시설현대화 사업참여율은 한 자릿수에도 못 미칠 정도로 미미해 보다 현실적인 대책이 필요하다는 지적이 일고 있다. 이에 박덕흠 국회의원(국민의힘, 충북 보은·옥천·영동· 괴산) 주최, 한국오리협회·오리자조금관리위원회·농수축산신문 주관으로 지난해 12월 1일 국회의원회관 제1세미나실에서 '오리농가 AI 방역대책 이대로 괜찮은가' 국회 좌담회를 개최하고 각계의 전문가들이 보다 근본적인 AI 대책 마련을 위해 머리를 맞댔다. 이날 좌담회 내용을 지상중계 한다.

전국적으로 균형있는 의료공급체계를 확립하기 위하여 정부가 건립 추진하여온 민간지역병원은 계획목표 년도가 2년이나 경과한 1984년 4월 현재 설립인가된 51개 병원중 38개 병원(74%)이 개원하였다. 이중 4개 병원은 심각한 재정난과 부실운영으로 이미 문을 닫은 실정이고 나머지 대부분의 병원들도 운영난에 봉착하였는바 이러한 민간지역 병원의 특성과 운영성과에 관련된 요인을 분석하기 위하여 각 병원별 실태조사표와 설문조사서 및 방문면담으로 개원중인 병원전체를 대상으로 자료를 수집,조사하였다. 각 병원의 운영성과에 미치는 요인중 가장 큰 것은 지역적 여건과 병원의 입지조건이었다. 병원운영이 다소 호전되는 병원일수록 의료수가나 진료미수금과 같은 병원외부요인에 관심을 갖는데 반해 악화되는 병원일수록 병원의 위치나 타병원과의 경쟁등 병원내부요인에서 더욱 많은 문제점을 느끼고 있었다. 또한 자력에 의한 운영자금 및 양질의 타인자본 조달능력이 중요한 것으로 지적되었다. 이러한 요인은 정부의 민간지역병원 건립계획에 대한 불충분한 검토와 병원들의 판단력부족 및 자금동원능력 부족과 관리운영미숙에도 문제가 있었다. 막대하게 소요된 시설자금 및 운영자금으로 인한 높은 부채비율로 인해 이를 감당할 만한 이자부담 능력도 없으며, 기존병원에 비하여 환자절대수마저 부족으로 정상운영을 기대할 수 없었다. 이와 같은 결과는 앞으로 병원신설을 할 때 기획단계부터 면밀한 검토가 필수적이라는 것을 시사해 준다.

It has been seriously difficult to create demand of modular construction because Korean modular method has been considered as container house or lightweight steel house. Actually, barrier factor of modular construction for activation was difficult to produce modular continuously in factories based on stable amount of demands. So, this research found successive factors of modular construction and proposed the method of demand creation through a plethora of case analysis by building types. In addition, this research found the scale of modular potential market. Owners will be able to use this strategy that is proposed in this research when they make a decision about construction system. Also, the modular construction can make potential market in Korea. As a result, modular system producer can make their business strategies and make continuous demand by conjugating the method of creating demand for modular construction which is proposed in this research.

This paper is aimed at providing fundamental data for marketing strategies needed to determine the direction of policy to operate hospitals in an effective way. From the analysis, it was found that: first, expectation toward hospitality of the staff, facilities, environment and administrative service of hospitals for the elderly exercises significantly positive(+) effects on satisfaction of patients; second, trust in and satisfaction with administrative service of hospitals for the elderly exerts significantly positive(+) effects on the intent of patients for revisit and information by word of mouth; and third, the intent for revisit influences positively the intent for information by word of mouth significantly. It is therefore needed to try to understand the motives and tendencies of the elderly in selecting hospitals, to promote their satisfaction and to cultivate the spirit for patient-oriented service. Furthermore, efforts should be made to gain trust of medical staff, effects of medical treatment as well as medical equipment in addition to laborious endeavors to work out marketing strategies backed up by price competitiveness of paradigm.
