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.

현재 의료보험은 치료에 국한된 요양급여가 대부분인데, 예방사업을 통한 질병발생의 예방이 건강의 손상을 줄이고 궁극적으로는 건강을 증진시킬 수 있으며 의료비의 상승을 억제할 수 있다고 안윤옥 서울의대 교수는 지난해 11월11일에 있었던 건강관리 워크숍에서 강조했다. 본문은 안교수의 발표문을 게재한 것이다.

This study aims to improve the more confident and efficient projection method that is to estimate the Number of Household per Family scales(NHF) in projecting the Household Heath care Expenditure(HHE). For this purpose, this paper suggested three results of the research. First, because projecting the NHF does not reflect the recent socio-demographic trends in the process of projecting the National Health Expenditure(NHE),the prior projection results have serious problem in the confidence and political availability. Second, the projection results about the HHE might be underestimated relative to the real one. Third, in order to estimate the more confident and efficient estimates of the HHE, the estimated NHF reflecting the socio-demographic trend must be used to project the one. There is an alternative method that the NHF and the increasing or decreasing rate of them which are regularly surveyed and suggested by the KOSIS should be used to project the process.

Following the last issue, we summarized the major medical judgments in 2018. Especially, efforts have been made to introduce as many judgments as they relate to the obligation to explain. This is because the limits of the court's judgments were so diverse that it was unknown. Regarding the extent of damages, attention should also be paid to cases where the cost of care is recognized as a large amount, and cases where the memorandum is effective for the increased cost of treatment. The rulings related to the payment and deduction of medical expenses were the most discussed, although the description was small. The case of multi-institutional operation of medical institutions is an interim decision, but it is a case of interest in the medical community, and regarding uninsured medical expenses, cases of discretionary abuse have been reduced compared to the past, but are still significant.

This paper is concerned with medical tourism, which is expected to become the new growth engine of the 21st century. Medical tourism is a collaborative and synergistic composition of Healthcare and Tourism, and has led to a remarkable growth in 2012 since the year 2009, exhibiting huge growth potential. This paper reviews the emerging market of the medical tourism with five major hospitals in Korea from the perspective of medical tourists, and makes suggestions for the global health care and the sustainable development in Korean medical tourism as a growth market: the construction of websites for active services and transparent management of medical expenses with proper arrangement of medical consulting and advices, cooperation of the health care center and the medical tourism industry, and the activation of healthcare communication. For the smooth progress of medical tourism, this paper suggests two separate communication channels: one for the patient tourists and the other for the medical tourism coordinators. The former needs accuracy with professional knowledge on the healthcare and communication, which should be classified as medical interpreters working with disease-oriented medical tourists. The latter refers to international medical coordinators dedicated to the smooth progress of medical tourism and services. This paper also points out the creative efforts to improve the relatively poor infrastructure of tourism industry to accommodate the medical tourists, and improve the medical tourism industry.

This study is a descriptive survey using a self-reported survey method to understand the effect of language and non-verbal communication of medical service providers on customer satisfaction through Lapport and to determine the degree of impact on Lapport by adjusting perceived service authenticity. The data collection period was from April 5 to April 30, 2021. Using the convenience sampling method, data were collected from users of medical institutions located in Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do, and a total of 306 valid questionnaires were used as statistical analysis data. The collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS statistics version 25.0 and AMOS 20.0 programs through a coding process. In the results of this study, it was found that the language and non-verbal communication of medical service providers influenced customer satisfaction through Lapport, and the perceived service authenticity in the relationship between each variable acts as a moderating effect. Considering that the language and non-verbal factors of the medical service provider are important in the interaction between the medical service provider and the hospital user, the medical service provider should take full account of the language and non-verbal factors and help the medical institution communicate with the hospital user.

Cooperative associations are established in order to enhance the rights and the interests of their members and serve the local communities, and actually do much for the local society. And among these, consumer cooperatives are spontaneously founded, particularly in the spirit of mutual help, in order to promote the common welfare of the members. Meanwhile, because the current medical law qualifys noncommercial corporation to open medical institution, consumer cooperative and noncommercial- corporation cooperative which are established under the Cooperative Act have the right to do. However, though cooperative association should be founded for common interests of the members who are weaker parties of society, it became rapidly to be abused as means of circumvention of law. Especially as National Health Insurance Corporation stepped up the investigation and the collection of unfair profits against the hospital owned by non-medical personnel who are unable to establish a medical institution, setting up medical institutions as a roundabout way to avoid the restricts dramatically increased in number. In this study, we are going to introduce the current dualised normative system regulating the establishment of a medical cooperative association, and find a way to improve the system and make up for the week points. And we will look though the present situation about medical cooperative association's opening, operating, and closing, and review the normative and systematic improving plans.
