This study aimed to investigate the relationship between frailty and health care utilization in a cross-sectional design of a population-based sample of community-dwelling older adults. We used the data of 516 participants who dwell in Daejon, aged between 65 and 84 years old. Using K-frailty index, frailty status were measured and categorized as three groups: robust, prefrail, and frail. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine if frailty affects emergency department(ED) visit or hospitalization. In addition, negative binomial regression was used to examine the association between outpatient visits and frailty. Our results showed that the frail elderly increased the ED visit and the number of outpatient visit significantly after controlling for demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, the number of chronic diseases, and self-rated health status. Considering that frailty is an important independent factor affecting health care utilization, more attention is required to prevent the frailty in our health care system.

인간 궁극의 목적은 ''행복한 생활''이며 이를 위한 가장 중요한 조건이 ''건강''이라는데 이론을 제기할 사람이 없다. 그간 우리나라는 1970년대를 거치면서 절대빈곤을 해결하느라고 경제개발계획을 수립하는 등 최선의 노력을 해 왔으며, 따라서 보건정책은 등한시 해 왔던 것이 사실이며 이는 극히 당연한 일이라고 생각한다. 최근 경제 개발 계획의 성공적인 시행으로 중진국의 대열에 서게 되었다. 산업 전략이 빚는 인구 이동의 불가피성, 인구의 도시집중 현상과 사회 구조의 변화는 생활방식 뿐 아니라 의식구조의 변화와 가치관의 변화를 가져왔으며 질병 양상과 건강 문제의 양상을 변화시켰다. 이로 말미암은 경제적, 지역적, 심리적 및 문화적 불균형 상태는 건강관호와 보건의료제도에도 불균형 상태를 갖고 와 불가피하게 된다. 이러한 불균형은 해소되어야 하는 시점에 온 것이며 정부가 목표로 하는 복지사회 건설을 위한 가장 중요한 보건 정책에 정부가 역점을 두게 된 것은 극히 당연하다. 이에 1976년 발족한 한국 보건 개발 연구원이 1977년부터 시작한 시법 사업을 실시한 결과, 지역 주민의 반응, 수용성, 의료 이용도, 의료비 절감 등을 분석하고 그 효율성을 인정받아 1981년 12월 31일 농어촌 보건의료를 위하여 특별 조치법을 제정하고 의료시설, 요원의 도시편중 교통의 불편, 고가의 의료 수가로 소외되어 오던 보건의료 취약지역 주민에게 기본권으로서의 기초 건강 서비스를 제공하기에 이르렀다. 이 건강 관호 제도에 그 바탕을 두며 보건 진료원이 그 척추의 역할을 담당한다. 1981년도와 1982년도에 선발되어 교육을 받고 배치된 738명의 보건 진료원은 38만명의 벽오지주민에게 현재 의료의 손길을 펴고, 질병의 예방을 위한 조치를 취하며 건강의 유지, 증진을 위하여 활동하고 있다. 건강관호는 시설이나 장비가 하는 것이 아니고 건물이 하는 것은 더욱 아니며, 지식과 기술을 갖춘 자격있는 의료인이 소명의식을 갖고 임할 때만 가능하다. 오랜숙원이었던 보건의료의 지역간 경제, 사회적, 문화적 계층간의 불균형을 해소하고 온 국민에게 기본권으로서의 건강을 갖도록 하는 이 새로운 제도는 패기에 넘치는 열정을 지닌 많은 젊은 간호학도들의 참여없이는 성공을 기대할 수 없다. 어떠한 제도이건 새로운 제도가 사회에 정착되기까지는 여러 해 동안의 시행착오와 고난이 반드시 수반되어 왔다는 사실을 우리는 역사를 통해 알고 있다. 그러나 그 제도가 다수를 위해 정의롭고 바람직한 제도일 때 반드시 성공을 거두었다는 사실도 알고 있다.

This study was to investigate the differences of functional health status and medical service experience and needs between general and vulnerable older people in community. This study is a cross-sectional descriptive research. The data obtained through direct visit surveys from November to December 2016. The target population of the study was older people over 65 years old, the final study subjects were 444 older people residing in one district of Seoul. The chi-square test was conducted to confirm the difference in their functional health areas and medical service experiences, and the necessity of medical service utilization in accordance to the social class. In the experience of abnormality in functional health, the vulnerable older people had higher experience in cognitive function, nutrition, hydration, pain, and falling than the general older people. The rate of experience of using medical service to solve the cognitive function problem for general older people was 31.9%, higher than that of the vulnerable older people. In contrast, the medical service utilization needs of the vulnerable older people in the pain management category was significantly higher than that of the general older people. In setting policy of public medical service programs for general and vulnerable older people in community may be differentially developed based on this study. In order to improve the medical accessibility of the vulnerable older people, public medical institutions should be actively supported to overcome obstacles to medical use due to economic barriers.

유비쿼터스 기술의 발전으로, u-City, u-물류, u-기상관측,u-Healthcare 등 다양한 융합 서비스가 개발되어 실생활에 적용되기를 기다리고 있다. 이들 중, 기존 의료서비스에 유비쿼터스 기술을 접목하여 언제, 어디서나 보건의료서비스를 제공하고자 하는 u-Healthcare 서비스의 경우에는, 바이오정보를 포함한 개인 정보와 의료정보를 다루기 때문에 해킹으로 인한 정보유출 사고발생시 국가적인 혼란과 사회적인 불신을 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내외에서 추진하고 있는 u-healthcare 서비스 현황을 조사하고, 이에 대한 보안위협을 제시하여 u-Healthcare 서비스의 정보보호 대책 수립시 활용할 수 있도록 제시한다.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the differences before and after certification for internal members of nursing hospitals and Western hospitals that received the certification system of medical institutions after conducting a survey on 297 members of nursing hospitals and Western hospitals, SPSS 26.0 was used, and to understand the effect of improvement of member satisfaction, job stress, and medical service on the hospital operation effect. As for the hospital operation effect of a nursing hospital, it was revealed that the higher the satisfaction of the members and the improvement of the medical service, the higher the effect of the hospital operation. In the case of Western hospitals, the higher the satisfaction of the members and the improvement of the medical service, the lower the job stress, the more the hospital operation effect can be seen to increase. As the basic value system of the medical institution certification system is the improvement of patient safety and quality of care, it is believed that the effect of the certification system was higher than that of Western hospitals due to mandatory certification in nursing hospitals.

As accessibility to health-care service in less populated rural areas is geographically limited and demand for public health-care by the aging is increasing, a new approach for health-care service such as a home care service is becoming more popular. For a home care service, health-care personnels directly visit to location of health-care clients. Such changes in provision of health services require developing innovative and scientific approaches for efficient allocation of health resources and managing services by public health-care organizations. The purpose of this study is to formulate a location model for visiting health-care districting for the rural elderly and to develop an Automated Zoning Procedure (AZP) to solve this model. Mobility, workload balance and contiguity criteria are considered in the model. Three different objective functions are evaluated; 1) minimizing the sum of network distance between the unit areas in a district, 2) maximizing spatial interaction between the unit areas in a district, and 3) minimizing tour distance that visits each unit area exactly once in a district. The AZP for solving the model is developed and applied to a rural area. The application results demonstrate that the AZP can generate different districting systems for each objective functions.

The purpose of this study was to examine the need for changes in the administration strategies of hospitals which would be vital for building up competitiveness of hospitals amid the changes in medical market. For that, 20 experts with doctoral degree in public administration and business administration related to the field of hospital administration were selected as the sampling group in the survey. Regarding the method of AHP survey as in this survey. The results showed that the factors were important in the order of medical staff factor(ranked first), overall facility factor(ranked second), staff service factor(ranked third), and access factor(ranked fourth). Second, the relative importance was in the order of medical staff specialization(ranked first), medical staff diversity(ranked second), and medical equipment level(ranked third), regarding the relative importance for general hospital development strategy and the complex weighted value for relative importance.
