As the prevention of patient safety accidents has been strengthened in the accreditation process of medical institutions, patient safety, which is the maintenance of patient safety by managing medical accidents around the patients, is considered a subject that is important as a disease cure. The purpose of this study is to develop a Patient Safety Program using simulated situations for inpatients at a general hospital ward and to understand the effects on knowledge, performance, and perception of patient safety before and after the programs. In addition, the satisfaction of patient safety education is verified after application of the program. The participants were 30 inpatients at a general hospital. Data were collected from April 15 to 30, 2019 and analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 23.0. The results of the preand post-education revealed a statistically significantly improvement of patient safety knowledge, performance, perception and educational satisfaction. The Patient Safety Education Program using simulated situation was an effective educational program for the inpatients to improve patient safety knowledge, performance, perception, and educational satisfaction. Therefore, this program demonstrated a positive effect of patient safety and it is expected that it can be used as the basis of an education program in patient safety education in a clinical setting.

This study deals with an analysis into the details of medical treatment and expenses by items of treatment as well as the factors related to the ratio between the medical treatment and expenses for 1583 patients who were hospitalized in and discharged from 2 general hospitals located at a city under the coverage of car insurance during the year 2009. As a result, there was statistically significant difference in the details of medical treatment and expenses by items of treatment as well as their composition ratio depending on the individual characters as sex, age and the number of days staying in hospital. Each medical institution should conduct a close analysis of its patients under the car insurance program as well as the factors related to medical expenses with a view to utilize them as basic data for mapping out plans for effective operation of its organization in consideration of the characters as a medicalinstitution.

Currently, safety accidents in hospitals are steadily occurring. In particular, safety accidents of elderly patients with weak immunity, such as nursing hospitals, continue to occur, and countermeasures are needed. Most accidents are caused by patient movement. As a method of reducing safety accidents by analyzing and recognizing the sound of the inpatient room according to the movement of the patient, this paper classifies the sound pattern for sound recognition in the hospital inpatient room using DTW (Dynamic Time Warping), an algorithm applicable to time-series pattern recognition. It was analyzed by applying it to the inpatient room environment.

To find how much radiation was exposed the patients who visit emergency room, a measurement study was made for radiation amount toward 200 patients selected randomly among visitors to an emergency room in a university hospital from March 16 to 31st, 2006. The results are as follows ; 1. Among the subjects 50 person(25.0%) were transferred from other hospitals, 24 persons(8.3) come after traffic accident, 50 persons for other accident and 76 persons for general medical care. 2. The average frequency of X-ray taking was calculated as 6.4 time per person among transferred patients, 14.5 times per person among patients with traffic accident and 2.6 times per person among general medical care. 3. The radiation exposure amount by kind of X-ray showed 28.9mGyfor general X-ray diagnosis, 84.2mGy for CT scanning and 1.02mGy for other special radiation study. 4. Average radiation exposure amount was calculated as 24.6mGy by transferred patients, 55.2mGy by patients with traffic accident, 17.1mGy by patients with other accidents and 17.0mGy by general patients. 5. Through the comparison of radiation exposure amount among to subject with maximum allowance threshold by International Commission on X-ray Radium Protection, transferred patients exceeded 6 times than allowance in whole body except extremities and joints, blood forming organ, reproductive system, vitreous body of eye, bone, thyroid gland, skin and etc, Patient suffered from traffic accidents were exposed 10 times more than allowance. In conclusion, the radiation exposure amount during X-rat diagnosis re too much and exceeded allowance standard by International Commission on X-ray Radium Protection. So further study and preventive measure to decrease radiation exposure by patients who visit emergency room.

Although the demand for histopathological examinations has been increasing, medical accidents in management of specimens also have been increasing because most of the examinations are processed manually which can cause careless handing, confusing information and mismatching during the procedure. In the future, histopatological examination will be used frequently for handing incurable diseases and verification of new drug. Thus, efficient and error-free management system for handling personalized medical history and test results is infallibly necessary. In this paper, I have proposed an integrated printing system for informatization of histopathological examination that support the u-Healthcare environment based on RFID in near future. The proposed system supports systematization of whole examination process and information of pathological samples. This system will contribute to reduction of costs, improvement of operational efficiency, and mostly fundamental prevention of medical accidents.

The recent frequent cases of damage due to leakage of medical data and the privacy of medical patients is increasing day by day. The government says the Privacy Rule regulations established for these victims, such as prevention. Medical data guidelines can be seen 'national medical privacy guidelines' is only released. When replacing the image data between the institutions it has been included in the image file (JPG, JPEG, TIFF) there is exchange of data in common formats such as being made when the file is leaked to an external file there is a risk that the exposure key identification information of the patient. This medial image file has no protection such as encryption, This this paper, introduces a masking technique using a mosaic technique encrypting the image file contains the application to optical character recognition techniques. We propose pseudonymization technique of personal information in the image data.

연세대학교의료원은 1885년 미국선교의사 알렌에 의해 한국 최초의 현대적 의료기관(광혜원)으로 설립된 이래 약 130여 년 동안 국내 의료계률 이끌어왔다. 그 오랜 세월에 걸쳐 이곳이 국내 최고 의료기관으로 군림할 수 있었던 이유는 무엇일까. 물론 가장 큰 이유는 수준 높은 의료환경이다. 하지만 단지 이것만으로 지금의 명성을 얻은 것은 아니다. 그 또 다른 비결 중 대표적인 것이 바로 '안전'이다. 이곳의 사명인 '인류를 질병으로부터 자유롭게 한다'는 안전의 핵심 가치인 '인간존중'과 일맥상통한다. 이에 따라 이곳은 환자와 의료진, 직원 등 구성원 모두가 안전한 병원을 만들기 위해 꾸준히 노력해왔다. 치료의 시작은 사고 및 질병예방, 즉 철저한 안전보건관리라고 말하는 연세대학교의료원을 찾아가 봤다.

환자의 긍정적인 예후에 있어 골든 타임을 최대한 확보하는 것은 중요한 요소로 손꼽힌다. 현재 응급의료 체계에서는 사고가 일어난 직후부터 응급 차량이 도착하기 전까지 응급구조요원이 환자의 상태를 파악 할 수 있는 방법은 제보자가 전달한 정보로 한정된다. 따라서 환자 상태의 수치적 측정의 부재 및 부족한 환자 정보는 골든 타임 확보에 있어 중요한 응급 처치를 결정하는데 큰 어려움을 야기한다. 이 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문은 사고 직후부터 응급 차량이 도착하기 전까지 응급 구조 요원이 도착하기 전까지 환자의 생체 정후를 파악할 수 있도록 하여 적절한 응급 처치를 예측할 수 있도록 돕는다 또한 환자 주변에 전문지식을 보유한 사람이 없는 경우에도 환자의 상태에 따른 최소한의 조치를 취할 수 있도록 도움을 줌으로써 응급 차량이 도착하기 전까지 환자가 최상의 상태를 유지할 수 있도록 한다.
