High Internet usage and the public's keen interest on health have influenced the health care system, and a potential value of the online health information and medical consultation market is immense. This study reveals results from data collected from Seoul residents in the age group of 20s in 2011. Out of 499 respondents, 75.2% answered that they used online health information; however, only 7.2% answered that they have used online medical consultation services. Findings on the purposes of using online medical consultation included treatments of symptoms(33.6%) and self-disciplines of one's health(19.5%). Mostly used Websites for health information search included search engines and blogs, but respondents preferred to use government sites and hospital sites in the future. When choosing a medical consultation, respondents preferred a certain website for different reasons including creditability of the consultant(23.7%), creditability of the organization(23.7%), rapid responses(21.2%), and more. Overall, although health information search via web is being highly utilized among people in their 20s, utilization of online medical consulting is not. Thus, promotion efforts to increase awareness and utilization of online medical consulting based on the site selection criteria, type of personal information disclosure, and other preferences are essential. Also, creating websites meeting these criteria is important.

의료관광은 관광객의 체류기간이 길고 소비지출이 크기 때문에 21세기의 새로운 고부가가치 산업으로 인식되고 있다. 이미 인도,태국,싱가포르 등은 의료관광산업을 국가전략산업으로 지정하여 연간 수십만명의 해외의료관광객이 찾아 높은 수익을 얻고 있다. 또한 정보기술을 활용하여 온라인 상담을 통한 치료상담, 항공,숙박 예약등을 지원하는 시스템을 갖추고 있다. 우리나라는 의료관광 발전의 가능성이 높고 IT강국이라 알려져 있음에도 불구하고 의료관광 운영을 위한 IT솔루션이 거의 전무한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 최근 국가의 고부가가치 산업으로 인식되고 있는 의료관광에 IT정보기술을 활용한 의료관광 정보시스템 개발을 위하여 요구분석을 하고 이에 필요한 시스템 구성요소를 제안한다.

인터넷의 보급과 네트웍기술의 발달은 실생활과 사회 전반에 걸쳐 많은 변화를 가져오고 있고 시공간에 제작이 많았던 의료분야 역시 이러한 변화를 적극 수용하여 다양한 양질의 서비스를 제공하고자 노력하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 단순한 의료정보 제공 및 건강 상담 차원을 넘어 고혈압이나 당뇨 같이 지속적으로 의사 관찰이 필요한 만성질환의 진료를 지원하는 새로운 형태의 의료 사이트가 제시되어 있다. 환자 자신은 건강 상태를 스스로 관리하고 그 정보를 주치의와 공유함으로서 의사는 온라인 상에서도 환자를 항상 모니터링할 수 있고 특정 전문 분야에 관련된 회사들간 네트워크를 구현하여 새로운 의학 정보 공유 및 상호 컨설팅이 가능하고 공유된 전문 정보를 바탕으로 지역별로 환자가 의료혜택을 고르게 받을 수 있도록 유도하고 있다. 구축한 사이트는 전문적인 정보제공 이외에도 그래프가 포함된 전자차트 기능과 의사소통의 한계성을 극복하고 의료 상담의 정확성을 기하기 위한 동영상 게시판 등 멀티미디어 기능을 강화시켰다.

The objectives of this research are: to provide fundamental data for tourism policy and investigate medical tourism attributes by IPA(Importance-Performance Analysis) to attract Japanese medical tourists to Korea. Utilizing Japanese medical tourists as subjects of inquiry, this study evaluated the importance of medical tourism selection attributes and the rate at which these attributes were performed. Consequently, this study deduced 'convenience, service quality, differentiation, approximation' factors by factor analysis as well as the ranking among each selection attributes using T-test. The importance-performance analysis showed 'Concentrate Here' in quadrant I, 'Keep up the Good Work' in quadrant II, 'Low Priority' in quadrant III and 'Possible Overkill' in quadrant IV. The results show that "Concentrate Here" part in quadrant I is reservation procedure rapidity and information system simplicity. This means that these attributes are very important but they indicate low performance. Thus, concentration among tourism managers should be focused along these attributes. The study, then, suggests that employee who speaks Japanese fluently should be arranged during reservation procedure. Furthermore, Japanese class should become mandatory during basic employee training to improve reservation procedure rapidity. Moreover, clinic websites should concentrate on accessibility of Japanese users in such a way that they can consult their needs on line. Finally, managers should find diverse ways to bring about good service rapidly and conveniently.
