This study analyzed the effects of hospital service quality, emotional attachment, and perceived value on customer satisfaction. In particular, the purpose of this study was to understand the role of emotional attachment and perceived value in the relationship between hospital service quality and customer satisfaction. For this purpose, the results of structural equation model analysis with the data collected by conducting a survey on customers visiting small and medium-sized hospitals were as follows. First, hospital service quality felt by hospital customers had a significant effect on emotional attachment and customer satisfaction, but had no significant effect on perceived value. Second, the emotional attachment felt by customers who visited the hospital had a significant effect on perceived value and customer satisfaction. Third, emotional attachment felt by customers in the relationship between hospital service quality and customer satisfaction had a significant mediating effect. Through the above results, it was confirmed that the service quality felt by customers visiting the hospital leads to attachment to the doctor's competence and medical technology competency, which leads to an increase in customer satisfaction through this attachment. The implications obtained based on these results are as follows. In order for the service quality felt by the customers who visit the hospital to lead to customer satisfaction, above all, it is important to focus on the emotional attachment they can have and find a strategy to improve the service quality. In other words, it is necessary to establish excellent medical staff and medical technology so that hospital customers can have high confidence in the competence of doctors and medical technology, and establish a public relations strategy that can effectively display these competences. Through these efforts, hospital customers will feel a strong attachment to doctors and medical technology, which will increase their satisfaction with the hospital.

오늘날 의료용 소프트웨어의 품질은 의료기기의 성능과 안전성을 좌우하는 중요한 요소로 자리잡고 있다. 국내의 경우, 의료기기에 대해서는 안전성 및 유효성 심사를 통한 허가 업무를 수행하고 있으나 소프트웨어를 수반하는 의료기기에 대해서는 아직 시험 인증체계가 구축되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 이로 인해, 의료용 소프트웨어의 품질저하로 의료 서비스의 질적 저하를 유발할 수 있는 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 의료용 소프트웨어에 대한 질적인 품질을 평가할 수 있는 방법에 대한 연구가 그 동안 미흡하여 전문성과 안전성을 요구하는 의료용 소프트웨어에 대한 평가가 필수적으로 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ISO/IEC 12119를 기반으로 개발된 의료용 소프트웨어 시험모듈을 활용한 시험 사례를 구축하고 인증과 관련된 문서체계를 구축하여 의료용 소프트웨어 시험 인증 과정에서 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

의료영상이란 의료영상장비로부터 DICOM이라는 의료영상표준에 따라 저장되며, 의료영상관리 시스템인 PACS를 통해 관리된다. 이러한, 의료영상장비 ICT기술이 융합되어 급격하게 발전되고 있으며 다양한 의료영상장치가 개발되어지고 있다. 하지만, 기술력은 높아지고 있으나 개발된 의료영상장비로부터 촬영된 영상품질관리에 대한 문제점이 제기되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 다기관의 의료영상장비 개발과 해당 기기로부터 수집된 의료영상에 대한 품질을 관리할 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 따라서 코로나 19와 같은 상황에서 의료기기 개발 지원과 관리를 비대면 관리서비스 시스템 개발과 의료영상장치 개발 정도를 관리할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 의료영상에 대한 품질까지 모니터링하여 및 개선 할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다.

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has been increasing non-face-to-face activities; as a result, this has resulted in the number of individuals obtaining medical information from the websites and mobile contents of medical institutions increasing. The study conducted the structural equation modeling to test hypotheses; as a result, all sub-factors of e-service quality of small medical clinic websites and mobile contents, usability, security, responsiveness, design, and information, had a significant positive effect on relationship quality, and relationship quality had a significant positive effect on e-Loyalty. Moreover, the structural equation model showed a good model fit, χ²/df of 2.021, NFI of .954, TLI of .969, CFI of .976, RMSEA of .046. Future research is suggested to study relationship quality by developing a system able to quickly and accurately respond to websites and mobile contents users; furthermore, improving e-service quality and relationship quality is likely to strengthen e-loyalty.

전자 의료기기는 이를 제어하는 의료용 소프트웨어의 발전과 더불어 성장해 왔으며 소프트웨어를 배제한 전자 의료기기는 생각하기 어려운 실정이다. 특히, 의료기기 내장형 소프트웨어는 인간의 생명과 직결되는 의료기기를 제어하는 소프트웨어이기 때문에 의료용 소프트웨어의 품질에 지대한 영향을 받게 되었다. 따라서, 의료용 소프트웨어의 품질 향상을 통해 의료 서비스의 질적 수준을 제고할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 ISO/IEC 12119를 기반으로 의료기기 내장형 소프트웨어를 시험하여 결과를 산출할 수 있는 시험모듈과 검사표를 개발하여 의료용 소프트웨어 시험에 적용할 수 있도록 하였다.

The purpose of this study is to find out what the contribution of medical service design to improve the quality of medical service has contributed to the resolution of medical authority, and to draw the implications necessary to further develop the medical service industry. As a method of research, first, the concept of medical authority was considered and the internal and external factors of medical authority were examined. Second, by examining the cases of medical service design, which resolved the medical emphasis inherent in internal and external factors, the key points and significance of problem solving were analyzed based on the core results. Third, the implications were to form a patient-centered medical culture for respect and dignity for patients, to break up the conventions inside medical staff to dismantle medical authority, and to establish a fair communication system for sharing medical information.

Despite of advanced plans from Korean government to encourage Korean medical tourism, the medical tourism in Korea is still under competitive compared to the countries including Thailand, Singapore, and India, in which the government has been driving the development in industries of medical tourism, Moreover, the studies identifying the factors affecting tourists' satisfaction has not been actively performed up to date. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the influences of quality of medical service, accessibility, cost adequacy, and quality of tourism of Korean medical tourism on Chinese tourists' satisfaction and revisit intention. For the purpose of empirical study, a survey has been conducted to Chinese medical tourists. Findings are as follows. First, the factors of medical tourism attributes including quality of medical service, cost adequacy, and quality of tourism have turned out to have positive effects on medical tourists' satisfaction. Second, tourists' satisfaction has a positive effect on revisit intention.
