This research aims for suggesting the significance and approaching method of historical study in health law in light of its historical progress and fundamental understanding of jurisprudential method. Historical research method of health law primarily targets to investigate the changes of the law in historical circumstances. In a further practical view point, however, the purpose of the study is to understand the 'current' system of health law appropriately. In addition, historical study enables us to recognize the fact that many systems related to health law are connected and interactive. The study can even function as an important reference when designing future health law system. Therefore, health law researchers have to investigate ideological, philosophical, political, economic, or social reasons of why such rules were legislated beyond a mere confirmation of past forms of the health law system. In other words, it is not only important to understand the provisions of past health law but also to examine how the regulations have formed, how they established the regulatory power in reality. Identifying how the rule of law had been executed in the reality of law is also a crucial part of historical study.

In this article, the Medical Act, the Emergency Medical Act, Act on remedies for injuries from medical malpractice and mediation of medical disputes were reviewed and interpreted based on the Civil Act. In the health and medical field, there are various laws that reflect changes in the medical field due to the development of health and medical technology, and their revision is very frequent. And the legislation has become very complicated. They contradict each other or require interpretation. In this situation, a person must take considerable care not to violate the law. In many cases, specific guidelines or authoritative interpretation are required to apply the law. Even guidelines and authoritative interpretations often conflict with civil law. In this article, errors in the legal text related to health care were found. In addition, it found a case that contradicts the civil law perspective in interpretation. Thus, it was confirmed that civil legal thinking was necessary to legislate, interpret, and apply health care-related laws.

Health Medical Act contains the reponsibility of Nation about People's Right and Obligation and aim at promoting health and welfare of People. The old age officially means time when Health is weakened. To complete the social security it is on the one hand necessary to provide an elaborate system of coordination in the field of social security. It should be pursued on policy. Medical benefits should be comparatively analysed to have implications for the national legislation.

The North Korean medical laws are consisted of 'People's Health Act' and 'Medical Act' in the peak of the North Korean constitutional law. Before the legislation of 'People's Health Act', a number of medical laws and regulations existed. But, at present, there is no information about its amendment and effectiveness. 'People's Health Act' legislated in 1980 declared fundamental principles and policies of the North Korean health care system. 'Medical Act' legislated in 1997 is the basic law among the North Korean medical laws. It presented the goals and fundamental principles of the North Korean health care, and then regulated the basics about 'Tests and Diagnosis', 'Medical Treatment', and 'Medical Appraisal'. 'Medical Act' of North Korea was established later than South Korea, and its provisions is smaller in number. And there are lots of abstract and declaratory provisions compare with South Korean 'Medical Act'. Especially there is no provision about the kind and requirements of medical personnel and medical institutions, so it is hard to grasp the North Korean health care system at once. Regarding the medical treatment, there are many similar contents between the North and South Korean 'Medical Act'. But, the provisions, such as regarding mixing the new medicine and the korean traditional medicine, encouraging natural therapies in medical treatment, and informing the patient's protector of bad diagnostic result if there is concern to have a bad influence on patient, are different from the South Korean 'Medical Act'.

Inmitten der Flut der privaten und öffentlichen Information gilt die riesige Informationsmenge als Schlüsselressource im Zeitalter der 4. industriellen Revolution, repräsentiert durch Big-Data. Das Interesse an diesen wächst weltweit. Es gibt eine aktive Diskussion darüber, wie man Daten sichert und akkumuliert und wie man die gesammelten Daten sicher und effektiv nutzt. Gesundheitsdaten werden vor allem als die wertvollste Ressource bewertet, für die Big-DataTechnologie eingesetzt wird. Um Gesundheitsdaten sinnvoll zu nutzen, müssen verteilte Gesundheitsdaten integriert und den Benutzern in einer Form zur Verfügung gestellt werden, die für Forschung oder Inspektion verwendet werden kann. In einer Situation, in der große Länder um den Aufbau bzw. die Führung der Datenwirtschaft konkurrieren, wurden im August 2020 auch in Südkorea die sog. „3-Daten-Gesetze" geändert, die das Datenschutzgesetz(DSG) enthälten. Das DSG führte das Konzept der pseudonymen Informationen ein und baute eine Rechtsgrundlage für deren Verwendung auf. Als Folgemaßnahme kündigte die, Kommission für den Schutz personenbezogener Daten(Personal Information Protection Commission: PIPC)' die „Richtlinien für die Bahandlung mit pseudonymen Informationen" und, Ministerium für Gesundheit und Wohlfahrt' die „Richtlinien für die Verwendung von Gesundheitsdaten" an. Gesundheitsdaten stehen direkt in Zusammenhang mit Leben und Körper des Menschen und damit enthalten viele sensible Daten. Es handelt sich also um ein System, das aus einer vorsichtigeren und konservativeren Sicht unter der Voraussetzung verwendet werden kann, personenbezogene Daten sicherer zu schützen. Um die Hauptinhalte der „Richtlinien für Verwendung von Gesundheitsdaten" zu analysieren, überprüften wir zunächst die Hauptinhalte des überarbeiteten DSG. Danach durch die Analyse der wesentlichen Inhalte der „Richtlinien für Verwendung von Gesundheitsdaten" wurden Probleme wie Konflikte mit anderen Gesetzen und Verbesserungsmaßnahmen überprüft.

국민건강 수준과 문제점의 파악, 보건사업의 기획 및 평가를 위해 정확한 출생과 사망에 관한 통계자료가 필수적이다. 그러나 출생신고 이전에 신생아가 사망하는 경우에 대부분 출생과 사망 모두를 신고하지 않아 영아사망률을 비롯한 보건통계를 산출하지 못하여 합리적인 보건사업의 기획 및 평가가 어려우며, OECD 회원국으로서 제시해야 할 기본적인 보건통계를 제시하지 못하고 있다. 또한 현행 출생신고자료에는 신생아와 산모의 건강상태에 관한 자료가 없어 보건서비스제공과 모자보건관련 역학적 연구에 활용 가치가 거의 없다. 지역보건의료정보화, 예방접종기록전산화, 미숙아 및 선천성기형아 등록 등 각종 등록 및 전산화사업이 진행중이나 이러한 사업들이 독립적으로 진행되고 있어 같거나 비슷한 자료의 중복 입력하게 되고, 상호 연계가 되지 않아 자료의 활용성이 낮고, 그 어느 사업도 전체 분모를 파악할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제들은 전산정보체계의 확립으로 해결할 수 있다. 약 99%의 분만이 의료기관에서 일어나고, 정부의 초고속 통신망을 비롯한 의료기관과 보건소의 전산화가 빠르게 진행되고 있어 전산정보체계를 위한 여건이 성숙되고 있다. 분만의료기관이 산모의 거주지 보건소로 직접 출생신고를 하면 보건소는 적기에 산모와 신생아에게 필요한 보건서비스를 제공할 수 있고, 보건소가 읍 면 동사무소로 출생신고 자료를 전송하면 산모는 동사무소에 가지 않고도 출생신고를 할 수 있으며, 보건통계자료수집과 출생신고관리에 필요한 인력과 시간을 절약할 수 있고, 정확한 생정통계를 얻을 수 있고, 예방접종기록과 미숙아 및 선천성기형아 등록은 쉽게 해결되고, 완전한 보건사업대상자의 database를 구축할 수 있어 평생건강관리체계의 기틀을 마련하게 된다. 이러한 전산신고체계를 확립하기 위하여 연자 등은 정부의 연구용역사업으로 전산프로그램과 표준신고양식과 신고체계를 개발하여, 포항과 천안시에서 2000년 3월에서 8월까지 시험 운영하였다. 시험운영결과 출생신고율은 99.9%이었으나 신생아사망의 전산신고율은 11.1%로 낮았다. 그러나 일단 출생신고된 신생아의 사망은 반드시 확인될 수 있는 것이 본 신고체계의 큰 장점이었다. 전산신고의 중요한 장애 요소는 현행법상 의료기관이 출생신고를 직접 할 의무가 없으므로 신고를 강요할 수 없고, 의료기관의 일손 부족으로 출생신고서를 충실하게 기재하지 못하는 것과 의료기관간의 전산화 수준의 차이가 심한 것이었다. 의료기관이 직접 신고를 하도록 하기 위하여 모자보건법 등 관련법 개정이 필요하며, 의료기관의 출생신고자료 송부에 대한 정당한 보상이 있어야 할 것이다. 의료기관 간의 전산화 수준의 차이는 data warehousing과 on-line analytical processing과 같은 기술을 이용하면 해결 가능할 것이다.
