The DEA model included a number of doctors, nurses, and beds as input factors, and a number of inpatient and outpatient, and hospital income as output factors. The result of the study were as follow. Jeju had efficiency value of 1 for three years. Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Ulsan, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Jeonnam, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam showed an increasing trend of efficiency value over three years. Seoul had the efficiency value, 1, in 2011. But, Incheon, Gwangju showed decreasing efficiency score during the study period. MPI showed overall productivity decrease during the period. Further studies will be needed by collecting more time-series data.

난독증자란 지능점수에서 예견하는 것보다 유의하게 낮은 읽기 수준 능력을 가진 사람들이다. 국내의 경우 난독증에 대한 연구가 미진하여 외국의 검사도구를 번역하여 사용하고 있지만, 언어의 경우 민족의 특성과 언어의 특성이 매우 크기 때문에 외국의 검사도구를 그대로 가져오기에는 무리가 있다. 본 논문에서는 난독증 환자를 검사 하고 그 검사 결과에 따라 분석을 할 수 있는 검사도구를 설계하는데 있어 키 반응 검사기의 구현시의 문제점과 문제점을 해결하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 다양한 컴퓨터 환경에서의 실험을 통하여 일반적인 키 반응 검사기의 문제점을 보이고 구현한 키 반응 검사기가 검사도구로서의 정확도를 유지하고 있음을 보인다.

Participants were 112 emergency unit nurses working in different hospitals designated as the government's emergency medical centers and agencies in 2018. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results : Subjects' clinical competence showed positive relationships with cultural competency (r=.45, p<.001) and intercultural communication (r=.53, p<.001). Factors that affect the clinical competence of subjects showed intercultural communication (β=0.38, p=.001). Conclusion : It is necessary to develop programs to improve intercultural communication, factors that influence clinical competence of emergency unit nurses, and apply them to practical fields.

Medical tourism refers to visiting overseas to receive medical services and tourism at the same time. In other words, it can be said that it is a tourism activity that combines medical service, various cultural activities, leisure, and shopping. As such, medical tourism is not limited to simple medical services, but is a new high-value-added industry that creates new profits by fusion with tourism services. Many countries are making continuous efforts to foster their own tourism industry by attracting foreign tourists. Therefore, in order to secure competitiveness in dental services among the medical tourism industry in Korea, this study was to examine the relationship between dentist's treatment, hospital facilities, dental staff, and patient satisfaction. As a result, it was found that the dentist's treatment had a positive effect on both the staff of the dental facility in the hospital and the satisfaction of the patient.

Since the introduction of the Foreign Patient Assistance Law in 2009, more than 300,000 foreign patients are visiting Korea each year due to the efforts of overseas patient attraction organizations, host companies and governments. Despite these achievements, however, the company is confronted with limitations in product development and the rate of patient population growth is slowing. Therefore, this study suggests the importance and meaning of various product development through the hierarchical analysis (AHP) on the major factors of product development of medical tourism services, and suggests direction of product development in domestic medical tourism industry in the future.

The research focused on plastic surgery clinics in Seoul, which recently responded to foreign patients who wanted to get plastic surgery, to recognize the need for the use of mobile healthcare applications to promote medical tourism and to see the expected effects in the future. For the analysis of data, SPSS 21.0 was used. Based on personal characteristics and medical institution characteristics, the future expected effects of using mobile healthcare applications were analyzed to find ways to help vitalize medical tourism. The result showed that the more mobile applications they wants to use in the future and the higher the number of foreign patients of the medical institutions, the more positive the expectation on the use of mobile healthcare application in the future. Also, the higher evaluation on the need for mobile healthcare application, the more helpful in vitalizing the medical tourism in the future, and the higher the positive awareness. I hope that this research will provide an IT foundation for the and expansion of mobile service app on demand analysis and service utilization of medical workers in order to promote medical tourism.

The Patient Safety Act was enacted on July 26, 2016. Patient safety law is a method to prevent harm by collecting and accumulating various errors through the reporting system. Therefore, in order for this law to be successfully implemented, it is necessary to vitalize 'the autonomous reporting and reporting learning system of patient safety accidents'. And In order for this system to be activated, a large amount of reporting data accumulation is a prerequisite. Nevertheless, there were only two reports in about 17 months. In this paper, I will criticize the validity of the current autonomous reporting system and the two proposed amendments, I would like to propose the introduction of a partial obligation reporting system.

보철물이 제기능을 발휘하기 위해서는 건강한 치주조직이 필요할 분 아니라, 보철물 그 자체가 건강한 치주조직을 계속적으로 유지시켜 줄 수 있어야 한다. 보철물이 치주질환을 야기하거나, 치주질환을 가진 지대치에 아무런 처치없이 보철물을 장착한다면 결국 치아의 상실을 초래하게 된다. 이런 일로 인하여 외국에서는 치과이사와 환자가 소송에까지 이르게 되는 불행한 에가 많다. 이런 예는 먼 나라의 이야기가 아니라, 우리 나라에서도 문제가 되어가고 있는 것 같다. 필자의 조사(미 발표)에 의하면, 보철물이 치주조직에 미치는 영향에 관하여 재 조명이 있어야 될것으로 생각한다.
