본 연구는 대전광역시의 응급의료서비스 취약지를 도출하고 취약지역의 보건학적 특성 및 응급의료서비스 취약여부와의 관련성을 분석하여 응급의료 관련 정책의 의사결정에 유용한 기초자료로 제공하기 위한 연구이다. 응급의료서비스 취약지 도출은 Arc GIS의 공간분석 방법 중 가중분석(Cost Weighted distance) 방법으로 응급의료센터로부터의 접근성 분석을 하였으며, 응급의료서비스 취약지의 보건학적 특성 및 응급의료서비스 취약여부와의 관련성은 SPSS 17.0을 이용하여 비모수 t-검정 및 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 연구지역의 응급의료기관 분포는 동구와 유성구, 대덕구는 지정된 응급의료센터가 없으나 서구와 중구는 응급의료센터가 2개소 이상 위치하고 있어 응급의료기관 분포가 편중되어 있으며, GIS를 활용하여 응급의료센터와의 접근성 분석을 수행한 결과, 대전광역시 자치구별 전체 면적 대비 응급의료서비스 취약지의 비율이 높은 자치구는 동구가 41.2%로 가장 높았다. GIS를 활용하여 행정동별 응급의료서비스 취약지를 분석한 결과, 대덕구 신탄진동, 동구 대청동과 산내동, 유성구 구즉동과 노은2동, 서구 기성동, 중구 산성동으로 나타났으며, 응급의료서비스 취약지 중 기성동, 대청동이 노인 인구밀도가 높게 나타났다. 응급의료서비스 취약여부에 따른 보건학적 특성별 차이를 분석한 결과, 국민기초생활수급권자, 장애인등록자, 농업인구 비율의 평균은 취약지가 비취약지에 비해 높았으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 응급의료서비스 취약여부를 종속변수로 하고 지역별 보건학적 특성을 독립변수로 하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행한 결과, 농업인구 비율과 국민기초생활수급권자 비율이 높았으며 이는 통계적으로 유의하여 응급의료서비스 취약여부를 설명할 수 있는 변수인 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01, p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하면 대전광역시 5개 자치구의 행정동 중 응급의료서비스 접근 불평등지역이 도출되었고 이러한 지역은 보건학적 특성 중 농업인구 비율과 국민기초생활수급권자의 비율이 높았으며 이는 통계적으로 유의하여 응급의료서비스 취약여부와 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 효율적인 응급의료 자원 분배를 위해서는 GIS를 활용한 의사결정이 필요하며, 응급의료서비스 이용의 형평성을 증진시키기 위해서 응급의료서비스의 사각지대에 놓여있는 지역의 보건학적 특성을 고려한 정책이 시행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

현대 복지국가에서는 의료와 교육 분야에 대해 지대한 관심을 가지고 있다. 이런 측면에서 유럽 및 미국 등에서는 특히 의료분야에 대해 정부가 직접 운영하는 비율이 높고 또한 각종 조세특례를 통해 민간을 지원하고 있다. 이 점에서 이 논문에서는 우리나라가 의료기관에 대한 조세체계와 조세특례를 어떻게 개선해야 할 것인가에 대해 연구하였다. 이 연구결과 의료기관에 대한 조세체계 및 조세특례제도에 대한 개선방안으로 여러 가지를 제시하고 있으나, 주요골간은 첫째, 우리나라의 경우 의료법인을 의료법에서는 비영리법인으로 보고 있으나 세법에서는 기본적으로 영리사업으로 보아 과세하는 것을 원칙으로 하고 조세특례규정은 아주 제한적으로 인정하고 있어, 의료서비스의 질적 향상에 도움을 주고 있지 못하므로 이를 개선하고, 둘째, 교육과 의료는 중요한 공공재로서 정부가 대등한 입장에서 정책을 수립하여야 함에도 차등 과세되고 있는 점을 개선할 필요가 있으며, 셋째, 같은 의료서비스에 대해서 운영주체에 따라 각종 조세특례를 다르게 규정해서는 안된다는 점을 지적하였다.

This study aims to examine primary determinant for medical expenditure depending on different age and income brackets. The age and income brackets are simultaneously taken into account for a forming of structural models, and GARCH methodology is utilized in analyzing the model. Empirical evidence reveals that no matter how general medical care system is appropriately operated, medical expenditure is vulnerable in taking care of potential socially-disadvantaged class and the group of catastrophic medical expenditure as long as the age and income brackets concern, simultaneously. It signifies that more elaborately designed medical-related policy seems to be established to improve its effectiveness. On the contrary, ageing society is comparatively well-treated by public health law and act on long-term care insurance for the aged.

Health care expenditure might be understood as a core source of social welfare. It is mainly due to the fact that the health care expenditure is closely related to the level of social welfare. And, therefore, the paper is basically designed to investigate the effect of social welfare improvement resulted from an increasing in per capita, private, public, and total health care expenditures during 1995-2009 periods. Empirical evidence reveals that the improvement of social welfare in middle income group reveals the highest improvement in social welfare, and the other income groups maintain a quite similar pattern in improvement of social welfare. As far as category of health care expenditure concerns, the effect of social welfare improvement by per capita health care expenditure is in general lower in all case. And, private sector achieves the highest improvement of social welfare in comparing with public and total health care expenditures. To this end, it could be tentatively concluded that the private health care expenditure has to be substituted for the public sector to induce market-oriented operational system. Accordingly, it would be better to build an institutional basis more elaborately in setting up the market system.

The proposed scheme is proposed secure transmission of fixed data and unstructured data among medical information transmitted in PACS. Unstructured data uses the AES encryption algorithm as sensitive data And transmitted using encrypted mosaic encryption techniques for the non-identification of medical images, which are regular data. In addition, we have experimented with increasing the key size for encryption. As a result, we did not notice any significant difference between 128 - bit size and 128 - key size even when encrypting the size of 196,256.

The purpose of this study was to examine unmet dental care needs and related factors among adults in Korea. The study included a nationally representative sample of Koreans (Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2104). The dependent variable was unmet dental care need and the independent variables were socioeconomic status and oral health status. The chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the associations between explanatory variables and unmet dental care needs. The major causes of unmet dental care needs included economic burden, work life, and academic reasons; in addition, dental treatment was considered to have lower priority. The factors that had statistically significant relationships with unmet dental care needs were sex, age, self-rated oral health status, and difficulty in mastication. The findings of the study, suggest a need for lower dental insurance copayments in keeping with the policies and principles aimed at strengthening the national health insurance system. In addition, groups with limited access to dental services should be identified, and effective health care policies and services should be established for these individuals.

De-identification is a method by which the remaining information can not be referred to a specific individual by removing the personal information from the data set. As a result, de-identification can lower the exposure risk of personal information that may occur in the process of collecting, processing, storing and distributing information. Although there have been many studies in de-identification algorithms, protection models, and etc., most of them are limited to structured data, and there are relatively few considerations on de-identification of unstructured data. Especially, in the medical field where the unstructured text is frequently used, many people simply remove all personally identifiable information in order to lower the exposure risk of personal information, while admitting the fact that the data utility is lowered accordingly. This study proposes a new method to perform de-identification by applying the k-anonymity protection model targeting unstructured text in the medical field in which de-identification is mandatory because privacy protection issues are more critical in comparison to other fields. Also, the goal of this study is to propose a new utility metric so that people can comprehend de-identified data set utility intuitively. Therefore, if the result of this research is applied to various industrial fields where unstructured text is used, we expect that we can increase the utility of the unstructured text which contains personal information.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in the direct medical expenditure of community residents according to their physical activity level. The quota sampling method was used to select samples from a youth community center, senior center, community cultural center, and community recreational sports center in G city in Gyeongbuk-do. Of the 773 questionnaires distributed, 716 were completed. The questionnaires consisted of the demographic characteristics, regular exercise and physical activity levels, health status and medical costs. While the beneficial effect of regular exercise and physical activity on dental costs was not (significant), its effect on the costs of visiting hospital services was (significant). The mean differences in the total monthly direct medical expenditures on outpatient services and medicine for those with very high, high, moderate, low, and very low levels of physical activity were 7,500, 26,299, 47,517, 9,314, and 9,9978 won, respectively. The result of this study supported the findings of previous studies that regular exercise and physical activity. are not associated with the reduction of medical expenditure.
