After 1980's, more and more people expect to the mysterious treatment of herb medicine about chronic and degenerated disease, according to growth of income level and old population. So the herb medicine hospital is begin to increase rapidly. But, they apply western hospital plan to the herb medicine hospital project which cause a lot of problem. To solve the problem, we suggest the new design standards for the purpose of this thesis which considered treatment method and system of herb medicine hospital.

Recently, it is not too much to say that the world of hospital architecture in Korea is in a time of transition that undergo big changes. Each hospital .pursues their transformation not only for patiences' changing demands on medical services but to cope with rapid environmental changes that pouring like boundless competition, opening tendency and to get an advantage of competition to attract patiences with other hospitals. It is because national expectations and standards on medical services have risen and they are not satisfied with hospitals that run for doctors and medical care that served technically any more. With rising interests in health, it is emphasized not the functions of hospitals to prevent diseases but the purpose of treatment and securing other facilities according to rising economical incomes except medical facilities.

The medicine development and upwardly raised standard of living brings out the increased dental needs at dental hospital OPD. The dental college hospital, follows up the raised dental needs, was subdivided by specialized dental office. And now a specialized dental office needs co-work with the other specialized dental office for special dental illness and treatment. The purpose of this study is to provide a proper area distribution and location of each specialized dental office and relationship between dental office, clinic and other department by analyzing the space, area and characteristics of dental hospital OPD. The results could be used for helping its users, of patients and dentists.

this study is aiming to obtain an index and a standard assessment which will help in forecasting circulation (critical movement-line) & behavior of pediatric out-patients for each sickness for future children's hospitals construction planning. The study above was based on the analytical results of ordinary disease types of child patients and the circulation of pediatric out-patients by each sickness, along with the comparison study on relationship between these analytical results and hospital facilities.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is analyze linkage and spatial and structural characteristics of outpatient department and diagnosis/treatment area of geriatric hospitals based on quantitative analysis, according to function and corridor types. Methods: To examine structural characteristics and correlation of outpatient department and diagnosis/treatment area of six geriatric hospitals according to the corridor type, were systemized according to the function and corridor type and made into a j-graph, and an index was created by using space syntax to understand spatial characteristics. Results: 1) Different functional spaces are connected by a corridor, which, therefore, can be an axis of the connectivity and linkage of functional spaces and an important element in a clear hierarchy. 2) Treatment areas were disconnected from different functional spaces and, therefore, the accessibility was low. Many hospitals had an arrangement plan for treatment and diagnosis areas, and recent hospitals have segmented treatment areas within the rehabilitation space, which resulted in deeper space. 3) In terms of the level of integration, more integrated reception area meant shallower spatial depth, and deeper space for treatment and diagnosis areas. Implications: Spatial relation of outpatient department of geriatric hospitals was analyzed based on characteristics of the elderly.

Recently, hospital architecture is in the transition period which faces a great change. Patients' demands on medical services have been changing and hospitals have been feeling the need to innovate their facilities in order to prepare for the upcoming challenges in the field such as global competition, market opening, etc. In addition, every hospitals requires the creative and novel design which is different from the conventional concept to deal with various circumstances. Accordingly, various space arrangements are proposed against the past unified hospital type. This study is designed to consider and evaluate the prospects of hospital architecture by analyzing the space allocation type of representative hospitals which are being recently constructed in Korea.

The Korean hospitals have been changed a lot from 1970's to 1990's, not only in their space allocation but also in their functions. These changes were affected by the medical development, social atmosphere, increasing population, needs of medical demands, and so on. In this study, we compared net area allocation involve in these affect of hospitals which were built in 1970's, 80's, and 90's, and through this comparison, we analyzed developing tendencies of hospitals. In doing so, we tried to provide basic research data for planning of new hospital buildings.

Upon reviewing the tendency of the large-scale hospital buildings constructed so far, we may well know that the architectural space of the hospital buildings has been designed for users' conveniences in terms of functional elements fulfilled, efficiency, uniform colors and lighting, which means that patients may well feel difficult to find their ways in the hospital. The result may be that the patients who are weak mentally and physically feel uneasy or tensed when they wander in the hospital, which may lead to their increased physical fatigue, higher blood pressure or other harmful effects. Thus, patients' way-finding emerges as a new design challenge for the hospital building. The purpose of this study was to define the environmental variables and factors affecting patients' way-finding in the hospital and thereby, determine the correlations between the variables/factors and way-finding to provide for some framework of analysis useful to solutions of patients' way-finding problems, while identifying the causes for difficulty of their way-finding due to differences of perception between hospital building designer and user groups.

Introduction : 최근 의료기관 내 진료비 정산으로 인한 전산화사업이 적극 추진되면서 각 의료기관은 생성된 자료의 목적과는 무관하게 대량의 자료를 지니고 있으면서도 병원경영과 관련하게 자료를 활용하고 있지 못하다．Objectives : 병원 입원환자의 데이터를 분석하여 입원환자의 이탈요인을 파악하여 이탈을 방지하고 지속적인 의료서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 하고자 한다. Method : 본 연구는 일개병원을 퇴원환자를 대상으로 2006년 1월 1일~2007년 12월 31일 동안의 퇴원환자 데이터를 기반으로 연구되었다. 퇴원환자 38,359명의 병원데이터 베이스를 기반으로 동일 연구기간 외래 누적데이터 375,659건의 외래환자 데이터와 비교하여 퇴원환자 중 재입원 예약 및 외래진료 예약 부도여부를 비교하는 후향적 연구를 수행하였다. 2008년 1월 1일 기준 재입원 예약 및 외래진료 예약부도 발생여부를 기준으로 계속진료환자 그릅과 이탈환자그룹을 생성하였다. 중복을 제거한 총 대상은 3,503명이였다. Discussion :본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 기초로 퇴원환자의 이탈률이 높은 환자그룹을 집중 관리하여 이탈을 방지하고 관심을 갖고 향후 잠재적 이탈 고객을 다시 유입할 수 있는 많은 방안들이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
