In Korea, management support has been given at the government level for activities to attract foreign patients. China and Russia ranked on top of the lists for in-bound medical tourists. The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of medical tourists in Korea, the demand for information, and the level of satisfaction regarding their experiences. 100 cases of medical tourists from China and Russia were collected through the mail survey. While Chinese used beauty, skin-care related products, Russian experienced the grocery shopping and wellness related services. Most patients from both nationalities experienced the traditional food in Korea and wanted to know about beauty products. Chinese wanted to get more information about Korean traditional food Russian. Finally, Russian showed higher overall satisfaction scores than Chinese respondents. If we reflect these results as a contents, it can be useful to attract foreign patients.

This study aimed to identify the effects of contents, to find out the development approaches of promotion and contribute to increase the expectation on medical institutions and wills to use and improve the customer satisfaction on homepages of such medical institutions by analysis on the contents of hospital homepage. This research performed the frequency analysis, cross analysis, t-test correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis and came to the conclusion. In accordance with the research results, since the university hospital homepages had more contents than the homepage of general hospitals and national and public hospitals, the university hospital homepage provided sufficient information to visitors and tried to satisfy the customers and activate the hospital promotion using the homepage contents. On the contrary, the homepage of general hospitals and national and public hospitals had insufficient contents and unique and differentiated contents were not sufficiently provided. On the basis of the results of this study, further study on the approaches to improve the contents of homepage of general hospitals and national and public hospitals will be of great help to activate the hospital promotion by increasing the average number of visitors and page views. Furthermore, it is required to make every endeavor for systematic management and operation and research on promotion using the homepage contents.

The objectives of this study were first to inspect the background information of an incentive pay system in hospitals, which provide specialized services for the public, the current status of hospitals with the system, as well as effects produced by introducing it, and then to come up with measures to invigorate the system. According to the findings of a survey, a total of 123 out of 150 hospitals responded that they applied the system to their HR management, some fully or some partially, which accounts for 82.0 percent. This study suggested that the following strategies to invigorate the incentive pay system: having a clear objective when adopting the system; concerted performance targets; practical yet worth challenging business objectives; transparent information disclosure; and establishing a confidence-building system between labor and management. Mutual trust between labor and capital should be a key factor for the successful implementation of the incentive pay system.

In this study, industry-specific application systems operation cost estmation models are suggested. We reviewed operation cost models of previous researches, and developed a strong need for industry-specific operation outsourcing cost models. Security industry operation cost model and medical care industry outsourcing cost model are proposed, and tested with empirical data. We showed the validity of industry-specific application systems outsourcing cost models. Future research will be needed to develop outsourcing cost models for other industries and to refine cost models developed in this study.

국민소득 증가와 고령화 사회에 진입하면서 다양한 의료소비가 의료서비스산업에 영향을 미치고 있으며, 이러한 사회 구조 및 환경변화에 따라 새로운 질병에 대한 대응 또한 절실히 요구되고 있다. 질병 예측을 위한 연구는 기후변화와 질병, 건강행태와 질병, 사회적 위치와 질병 등 질병에 영향을 주는 많은 요인들이 있다. 그러나 이러한 요인들을 통합, 분석 활용하는 데는 해결해야 할 문제들이 많이 있다. '정부3.0 공공데이터 개방 정책' 을 통해 질병에 관련된 자료가 공개 되면서 본 연구에서는 2010년부터 2012년까지의 질병에 영향을 주는 공공데이터를 연도별로 통합하여 지리정보시스템(GIS)기반 데이터베이스를 구축하고 활용 할 수 있게 하였다. 향후 기후변화에 민감한 질병을 찾기 위해 해당기관의 자료를 활용하여 월별로 데이터베이스를 구축하고, 이를 기반으로 의료서비스의 활성화 및 효율성에 기여 할 수 있다.

In terms of worldwide rapid change in medical world, the purpose of this study is to investigate perception and attitude of students in dental hygienics concerning the opening of domestic medical market to overseas, so that it can prepare a chance to correctly identify positive and negative aspects of such change in medical market. For questions about effects of opening domestic medical market to overseas as well as pros and contras about it, it was found that there were significant differences in 'improved level of medical technology', 'reduced national medical expenses', 'extended supply of medical facilities' and 'facilitated medicine and medical equipment industry.'(p<0.00). For a question about perception of potential crisis from opening of domestic medical market to overseas, it was found that 55.6% of pro group had no mind of such crisis, whereas 52.3% of contra group had such a mind of crisis. Both cases showed significant differences on a statistical basis (p<0.003). It is recommended that follow-up studies should make a comparative analysis involving students in public health as well as dental hygienics so as to explore even possible ways to take measures for opening of domestic medical market to overseas.

The purpose of this study is to analyze various issues that may arise from the recent deregulation of telemedicine implemented by the government, propose initiative preparations for the implementation of telemedicine policies, and suggest implications for the basic conditions and direction of the deregulation of telemedicine. Recently, deregulation policy cases in telemedicine include that designation of a special zone for regulatory freedom in Gangwon Province, allowing physician-patient telemedicine and telephone counseling and prescription cases in the COVID-19 crisis. There are four main issues that could arise with the deregulation of telemedicine: safety, effectiveness, differences in access to health care and the economic industry, and legal responsibility. As a initiative preparation, this study proposed a pilot project for telemedicine and enhanced support for face-to-face care complementary tools, vitalizing remote co-operation, policy model that do not disrupt the medical delivery system, and legal maintenance. In conclusion, as a suggestion of basic premise and direction in the implementation of telemedicine deregulation, the implementation of initiative measures to address issues concerning telemedicine, the review and regulation of conditions to be considered in the implementation of telemedicine, and the establishment of a close communication and cooperative sturcture with medical providers.

사람이 현실에서 공간감과 거리감이 있는 3차원 세계를 인지하고 주변 대상들과 상호 작용을 하면서 생활하는 것은 너무나도 자연스러운 것으로 받아들여지고 있습니다. 그러나 지금까지 현실 세계의 정보를 전달하는 영상 매체는 모두 평면적인 2D 영상에 머물러 있었으며, 3DTV는 기존과 달리 현실과 동일한 3차원 입체영상을 TV방송을 통해 전달하고자 하는 기술입니다. 3DTV 입체방송은 흑백TV에서 컬러TV로의 변화와 같이 영상 매체의 큰 변혁을 몰고 올 차세대 서비스로 주목 받고 있습니다. 또한 그 기반이 되는 3D 입체영상 기술은 TV방송뿐만 아니라, 게임, 교육, 의료, 산업 설계, 탐사 및 국방 분야에 이르기까지 매우 다양한 분야에 적용되어 기존과는 차별되는 성능과 경험을 제공하게 될 것이며, 잠재적인 산업 파급효과가 대단히 클 것으로 기대되고 있습니다. 이러한 3DTV 방송의 활성화를 위해서는 디스플레이, 콘텐츠 및 서비스 인프라를 포함하는 eco-system이 잘 조정되어야 하며, 특히 시각 피로 및 시각안전성과 같은 인간공학적인 측면에서 연구 및 관련 표준화가 뒷받침되어야 합니다. 3DTV 기술은 초기의 안경 착용이 필요한 스테레오 3DTV로부터 지속적으로 발전하여 장기적으로 안경 착용이 필요 없는 다시점 또는 홀로그래픽 3DTV가 실현될 것이며, 이에 대비한 기초기반 연구도 꾸준히 병행되어야 할 것입니다.
