그동안 현저하게 성장해온 경제사회 수준과 함께 일반국민들의 건강에 대한 관심은 대단히 높아졌다. 뿐만 아니라 국가는 보건부문에 있어 각종 보건제도를 개선하고 보건시설을 확충하며 의료전달체계를 정립하는 등 많은 투자를 하여왔다. 그러나 이러한 보건의료의 발전과 또 건가에 대한 주민들의 높은 관심에도 불구하고 현재 및 미래의 사회는 과거에 경험하지 못했던 새로운 건강문제가 대두되고, 과거와는 전연 다른 양상을 보이고 있어 우리의 관심을 불러일으키고 있다.(중략)

대기오염과 사망율과의 관련성을 평가하고자 미국내 23개 SMSA(Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas) 지역에서 대기오염의 程度를 나타내는 指數인 PSI(Pollutant Standards Index), 氣象學的 變數 및 사회 경제적 변수를 이용하여 多變量 分析을 시도하였다. 그 결과 총사망율과의 관련성은 사회경제적변수가 영향이 큰 반면 PSI는 작은 것으로 示俊되었다. 대기오염과 사망율과의 연관성에 관한 평가는 많은 변수의 復雜性이 내포하고 있어 좀더 具體的이고 세밀한 분석이 기대된다.

I. 환경문제의 대두 : 인류는 삶의 터전이자 생산과 소비 등 기본적 경제활동의 원료를 제공해주는 자연을 이용하고, 개발하고, 한편으로는 파괴하면서 생존을 유지해 왔던 것이다. 인간의 생존을 위한 소비활동의 부산물로서 생성되는 찌꺼기(residual)가 자연으로 버려지고, 그 소비활동을 지원하기 위해 지속되는 생산활동은 더욱 많은 양과 독성도 강한 성상의 폐기물이 자연으로 버려지게 되는 결과를 가져 온 것이다. (생략)

Background: This study aimed to assess the appropriate allocation of emergency medical beds across 17 provinces and presume the economic benefits associated with such allocation. Methods: To estimate the optimal allocation of emergency medical beds by province, data from the Statistics Korea's "cause of death statistics (2014-2021)," regional statistics on "area, population, gender, age," and "population projections" were utilized. The "number of emergency beds by city and district" provided by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service was also used. In estimating the economic benefits of preventing avoidable emergency deaths due to the expansion of emergency medical facilities, guidelines from the Korea Development Institute and the Korea Transport Institute were referenced to calculate the wage loss costs associated with emergency deaths and estimate the economic benefits. Results: The optimal ratio of emergency medical beds allocation by region was highest in Gyeonggi, Seoul, Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, and Busan, while Daejeon, Jeju, and Sejong showed lower ratios. Additionally, the prevention of avoidable deaths and economic benefits resulting from the increase in emergency medical facilities were highest in Gyeonggi, Seoul, Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam, and Busan. However, when standardized by population, the prevention of avoidable deaths and economic benefits were analyzed to be highest in Gyeongbuk, Chungnam, Jeonnam, Gyeongnam, and Busan. Conclusion: The results of this study can serve as foundational data for future policy measures aimed at addressing the imbalance in the supply of emergency medical facilities across regions. Considering regional characteristics in the distribution of emergency medical facilities is expected to ultimately increase the efficiency of national finances and yield economic benefits.

지금까지 한국의 의료제도 운영은 기본적으로 자유 경쟁체제(laisser-faire system)를 근간으로 발전되어왔으며 보건의료인력의 수요와 공급 역시 이에 따라 무계획적으로 이루어져 왔다. 또한 1970년대에 급격한 경제성장을 이룩한 우리나라는 국민소득이 늘어 생활수준 역시 높아졌으며, 정부의 정책목표도 복지사회건설에 비중을 둠으로써 정부는 국민건강과 직결된 의료보장정책에 심혈을 기울이게 되었다.

I constructed the 2003 Korean 'social accounting matrix'(SAM) to analyze the multipliers of total demand for each economic activity. I find that the relative magnitude of the influence of the welfare policy to the national economy measured by input-output production multipliers tends to be underestimated compared to SAM multipliers. This is because the total demand multipliers of SAM include the private sector effects, which is not considered in the input-output model. The result also support that income inflows in public service areas including education, health and social work, generate gains in the relative income of households.

Background: Limited access to medical services causes problems in patients' health and life. Also, hospital closures cause concentration towards general hospitals, which leads to worsening National Health Insurance finance. Therefore, hospital closure is an important topic to be analyzed. Methods: This paper analyzed the factors that affect hospital closures using survival analysis with the data of 970 hospitals opened between 2010 and 2019 in Korea. The number of medical personnel, hospital rooms, sickbeds, and medical departments were used as explanatory variables. Results: The number of medical personnel and hospital rooms increased the survival probability while the number of sickbeds and medical departments decrease the survival probability. Conclusion: The results suggest that hospitals have economies of scale and diseconomies of scope in management.

지난 25여년간 우리 사회가 이룩한 경제 . 사회분야의 발전에 의한 생활수준의 향상과 의료서비스의 접근성 및 이용가능성의 개선으로 우리나라의 사망력과 출산력은 급격히 하강하여 인구구조를 변모시키고 있다. 그리고 사망과 이환의 유형 역시 크게 달라져서 과거의 전염병 및 급성질환 위주의 보건문제에서 비전염성 또는 만성병 위주로 바뀌어 가고있다. 이런 추세로 가면, 우리나라에서도 가까운 장래에 선진국가의 유형대로 정신병이나 만성퇴행성질병이 주요한 보건문제로 대두될 것이 예상된다.

This study investigated the healthcare status of South Korea and member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). By employing the position value for relative comparison index, healthcare status was measured through the following components: demand, supply, accessibility, quality, and cost. Statistical analysis was conducted through the Mann-Kendall test from analyzing trends from 2000 onwards. Results showed that while Korea, on average, scores higher than the OECD average in most of the investigated components, it is below average in certain indexes including primary care and mental health care. Considering the various health issues that have been raised about these indexes, it is important these components be improved upon by policy-makers.
