최근 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 서비스를 이용한 시간과 공간의 제약 없이 각종 의료서비스와 건강관리를 제공받는 유비쿼터스 헬스케어에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 산업은 특성상 단일 제품이나 서비스로만 존재하지 않고, 의료정보, 장비, 소프트웨어, 네트워크, 전자상거래 등의 보건 의료를 구성하는 모든 산업이 IT에 기반 하여 집약된 새로운 산업분야이다. 이러한 산업 특성상 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 서비스는 다양한 기술들을 이용하기 때문에 이들을 서비스의 개발, 이용 단계에서 통합된 환경을 제공받아 이용하는 것이 효과적이다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 서비스 이용을 위한 서비스 시스템 아키텍쳐를 제안하고, 제안된 시스템에서 이용할 수 있는 서비스들을 개발하기 위한 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 서비스 개발 Framework을 설계한다. 제안된 시스템 아키텍쳐와 개발 Framework을 이용하면 헬스케어 서비스 이용자에게 적절한 인터페이스의 제공과 질환에 대한 추적 관찰, 증상의 판단, 진료 지원, 건강관리, 외부 기관과의 정보 교환 등의 서비스를 개발할 수 있다.

While South Korea's universal healthcare system has garnered attention in public health, the issue of inequality in healthcare service provision among different age groups has incessantly become a significant concern. The focus of this concern is primarily on essential healthcare services, encompassing fundamental aspects of healthcare such as internal medicine, family medicine, and pediatric and adolescent care. This inequality is not limited to differences among age groups (both junior and senior demographics) but also extends to potential disparities in healthcare services based on geographic location, particularly in urban and rural contexts. This paper aims to investigate disparities in primary healthcare service resources in South Korea's evolving economic landscape between 1995 and 2021. We utilize a set of inequality indices with a spatial perspective through geographic cluster analysis. The findings reveal that concerns about inequality have been amplified during various economic events, including the IMF crisis in 1999, the global financial crisis in 2008, and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. These years are identified as significant phases that have contributed to manifesting spatial disparities in primary healthcare provisions, with a particular emphasis on the senior-aged population rather than junior or all population groups. Our findings underscore the pressing need to address the unequal distribution of essential healthcare resources as part of preparedness for potential economic impacts, requiring a comprehensive consideration of the interconnected nature of demographic and spatial dimensions in healthcare services.

The purpose of this study was to address the current status of hospital-based home care(HBHC). We analyzed the data on HBHC from national electronic data information of Health Insurance Review Agency. Beside, we surveyed 75 hospital-based home care agency. In 2006, 20,343 elderly(64.0% from all HBHC user) used 333,889 visits(76.8%from all visits). Medical diagnosis was composed of circulatory disease including cerebrovascular diseases 41.3%, endocrine system disease including Diabetes mellitus 10.4%, neoplasm 9.7%. Some of subjects used HBHC in excess of maximum covered 8 visits a month by National Health Insurance, decubitus 7.0%, the cancer 5.4%, the diabetes 2.5%, the hypertension 1.1%, and the stroke 0.9%. This results will contribute to expand the coverage of hospital-based home care by National Health Insurance. There was distribution difference in medical diagnosis and nursing intervention between HBHC and Public health center-based home care(PBHC) subjects. Therefore, HBHC subjects had more severe medical diagnosis, and were intervened more injections, examinations, than PBHC subjects. These differences must be considered to set up functional role among the three types of home visit care.

The study aims to identify unmet needs, barriers, and constraints in reproductive health education for adolescent girls in Luwero, Uganda. The study included a survey of 55 young women (aged 14-26) in the region and interviews with 40 stakeholders, including teachers and healthcare workers. Results showed that the majority of respondents (87%) rely on schools for reproductive health information, preferring health institutions (58%) for reproductive health services. Over half of respondents encountered obstacles accessing relevant information due to limited resources and cultural barriers and emphasized the significance of schools and health institutions as essential health information sources. Schools and health institutions need to collaborate to enhance reproductive health education for young women's accessibility.

HL7(Health Level 7)은 보건의료 분야에서 ANSI에서 승인한 SDO(Standards Developing Organization)들 중의 하나이다. 대부분의 SDO들은 약제. 의료 장비 이미지, 보험 처리 등과 같은 보건의료 분야에서의 표준을 만든다. HL7의 영역은 진료와 병원 행정적인 부분이다. HL7에서는 Version2.3, Version2.4, Version3.0 등을 포함해 Data Model. Arden Syntax, CCOW(Common Context Object Workgroup) CDA(Clinical Document Architecture) 등의 표준을 만들어 나간다. 본 논문에서는 이 표준들 중 CCOW에 대해 알아보고. 기존 Agent System에 좀 더 지능적이고 자율적인 CCOW 서비스를 제공하는 방안을 알아본다.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the expectations and perceptions of health center users as to the services. SERVQUAL scale was used for measurement of service quality. The purpose of this study is to offer baseline data for improving the quality of health care services. Methods: The subjects were users of a health center in S City in Kangwon-do; 170 people participated in this study. Results: Regarding service quality depending on general characteristics, the following results were obtained. First, there were statistically significant differences depending on the gender, purpose of visit, and satisfaction in the health center. Second, the services fell short of the expectations. Third, the quality of 'safe, accurate services' scored the highest, while 'empathy and friendliness' scored the lowest. Fourth, 'internal, external environment of the health center' scored the highest, while 'courtesy of staff' scored the lowest. There were no statistically significant differences. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the following are suggested. First, employee education should be provided for development of empathy and interaction with patients; those are the weakest areas in the health care services. Second, a system allowing patients to understand and participate in their treatment should be developed.
