  • This study aims to present the re-structuring strategies of healthcare facilities in Kwang-ju and Jon-nam province for it's competition power in the emerging global health care market. Kwang-Ju city and Jon-nam province have had difficulties in building a balanced healthcare system because of rapidly declining population, weakened healthcare infra-structure and geographical problems of healthcare supply by numerous islands. Now, Kwang-Ju city and Jon-nam province try to be a core place of economy and culture in the west-south asia. To do so, it is fundamentally necessary to reform their current social structure including healthcare system in large scale. This Study presents the current conditions and the problems of healthcare environment in these areas.

  • Purpose: This study was aimed to analyze how social workers understand the rights for elderly patient and family caregiver to make end-of-life (EOL) care decisions and their roles the decision making process. Methods: The study employed a quantitative research method of collecting data from a structured questionnaire that was filled out by 334 social workers at long-term care facilities. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, mean differences, correlation between variables, using SPSS 20.0 program. Results: The mean score for the understanding the rights to an EOL care decision was $3.46{\pm}0.69$ and of their own roles $3.48{\pm}0.84$. The level of understanding significantly differed by social workers' experience of assisting a process to make an EOL care decision such as advance directives and life sustaining treatment, work experience, and the number of beds. Positive correlation was observed between the level of understanding of the rights for EOL care decisions and of social workers' roles (Pearson r=0.329, P<0.001). Conclusion: This study proposes development of an education program for social workers and devising standards for the EOL care decision making process to protect elderly patients, family caregivers as well as social workers in a long term care facility.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the current characteristics of healthcare and welfare policies in Japan focused on the related policies in 2000's. In Japan, with the perspectives of entering the super-aged society by 2005 and the movement of all of the baby boom generation into the elderly generation by 2015, more rapid progress to the aging society is expected. From this situation, Japanese government has developed diverse elderly-oriented strategies such as "structural reform of social security", "nursing care system" and "gold plan 21" in 2000's. However, most of the related researches targeted the period to early 2000's, excluding the papers about the individual policies. Recently in our country, many related policies have been developed such as the enforcement of "long term care insurance system for the elderly" by 5 year period reevaluations and the preparation for 2nd step of "Plan for Ageing Society and Population"(2011~2015). At this moment, the investigation on the related policies of Japan could give appropriate references to us, a late starter of aging society.

  • 본 연구는 경제성장과 함께 빠르게 발전하고 있는 중국의료시설의 최근 의료 환경과 의료시설의 변화 동향을 분석한 것으로 병원의 디자인, 병동 유니트 계획, 의료자원의 지역적 불균형과 건축기준 등 다각도의 변화 동향을 사진, 도면과 함께 제시하였으며, 중국 의료시설의 문제점과 과제를 정리하였다. 중국의 의료시설은 현재 급속한 성장기에 놓여 있으며, 그 과정에서 의료자원의 대도시 집중과 병원의 대형화 현상으로 지역적 의료자원의 불균형 문제가 나타나고 있고, 환자부족으로 중소병원의 경영문제가 심각한 반면, 대규모 병원은 환자집중으로 긴 대기시간과 혼잡함 등의 문제가 나타나고 있다. 또한 대규모병원과 중소병원 간 의료자원의 과다한 중복으로 비효율성 문제가 지적되고 있어 합리적인 경제기반에 기초한 효율적인 의료시설과 건물시스템을 어떻게 개발할 것인가 하는 점이 중국 의료시설의 큰 과제중의 하나가 되고 있다.

  • 컴퓨터와 네트워크 기술을 바탕으로 한 IT 기술이 비약적으로 발전하면서 많은 분야에 IT 기술이 접목되고 있다. 의료복지 분야도 예외는 아니어서 지난 수 년 간 의료기기 분야에 IT 기술이 활발히 접목되고 있으며, 특히 방사선 의료기기 분야는 의료 분야의 IT 기술 접목의 구심점이 되고 있다. 이를 바탕으로 우리 나라를 포함하여 전세계전자의료기기 시장은 점점 그 규모가 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 한편, 사회의 소득수준이 향상되면서 의료복지와 웰빙에 대한 관심은 날로 높아지고 있어, 의료 분야의 초점도 과거의 치료의료에서 예방의료로 구심점이 이동하고 있다. 이런 추세에 맞추어 최근에는 의료복지에 유비쿼터스 개념을 접목하여 건강진단 및 건강관리의 시간과 공간제약을 대폭 줄인 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 시스템의 연구개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다.본 기고에서는 의료기기와 IT 기술의 접목 추세를 알아보고, 이에 대한 우리의 대응 방안을 살펴보고자 한다.
