The survey obtained information through online surveys and telephone interviews. The questionnaires were divided into general characteristics and evaluation methods and limitations of existing sensory processing in school, necessity of a sensory processing evaluation tool for school, and opinions. The questionnaire consisted of 12 closed questions and 4 open questions. Results: In total, 90% of the researchers said that school-aged children in schools are aware of 'some information' through their parents or children. Furthermore, 50% said they often complained about difficulties related to sensory processing in school, and 50% that they were more than 'usual'. Finally, 80% of the repondents indicated that the development of sensory processing evaluation tools for schools was "significantly needed". Conclusion: Occupational therapists in charge of domestic children reported for the need to develop evaluation tools to understand sensory processing abilities in schools. Evaluation tools will play an important role in the evaluation and intervention of occupational therapy for school-aged children.

Ubiquitous computing is a vogue word, and its service is very popular in Korea. However, present ubiquitous service(u-Service) is thought to be more oriented to the provider's point of view, not the consumer's. To complement this problem, an online survey was performed for internet users, which consists of 24 single choice questions on six fields such as transportation, healthcare, environment/city-management, culture/education, administration, and industry. 2463 people joined the survey, who were grouped according to their age, resident region, level of education, and sex. Each group's demand for specific field of u-Service was examined. General level of demand was higher in case of the elderly and male than the younger and female for overall u-Service.

Objectives: The present study investigated current practices of insomnia treatment among Korean doctors in clinical settings. Methods: A total of 100 doctors participated in the present study and filled out a series of survey questions regarding their treatment of insomnia patients. Results: The results revealed that the primary type of insomnia treatment was pharmacological and that the most popular medication was zolpidem. The majority of doctors reported that they also utilized non-pharmacological treatments such as sleep hygiene education and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, these treatments tended to result in low satisfaction. In addition, the doctors perceived that patients largely preferred pharmacological treatments to non-pharmacological ones and did not have sufficient knowledge of non-pharmacological treatments. Conclusion: Many doctors believed that non-pharmacological treatments for insomnia were important, but reported that they were difficult to implement in practice. The results of this study suggest that improved medical conditions for non-pharmacological treatments and education of physicians are necessary to appropriately treat insomnia.

This study presents strategic implications for enhancing the competitiveness of the comprehensive health examination center through the study of its impact on the switching barrier with medical service value and medical service satisfaction as parameters. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, a total of 324 questionnaires were analyzed for customers who received health examinations at the general examination center. Covariance structure analysis was performed to test hypotheses and causal relationships. The results showed that the physical environment had a significant effect on the medical service value and medical service satisfaction. The value of medical service also had a significant effect on medical service satisfaction. The value of medical service was found to affect the transition barrier, but the satisfaction of medical service did not affect the transition barrier. The implications of this study are that physical environment has a significant effect on medical service value and medical service satisfaction. Therefore, modern medical equipment should be equipped with the latest medical equipment to minimize accurate examination and misdiagnosis through modernization of medical examination center. In addition, since the value of medical service has a significant effect on the switching barrier, it is necessary to establish a plan to enhance the value of medical service. We need to promote sustainable customer retention and creation of new customers through differentiated screening items and cost advantages over competitors. In addition to check-up services, efforts should be made to enhance the value of services such as strengthening medical communication and medical complex cultural spaces, and at the same time, establish an organizational culture of customer-first examination centers through the placement of excellent personnel and continuous education.

This paper suggests the measurement method of evaluation of management performance factors in health organization using AHP and Factor Analysis technique. To achieve this goal, this study applies AHP method to different size of hospitals. AHP method is deployed in three steps. At first step, the major factors, which indicate the management performance in health organizations, will be formed through factor analysis. At second step, the pairwise comparison between two factors will be performed to calculate the weights of each variables. At the last step, the order of priority of all factors will be determined. This order list will be used in measurement of the management performance in health organization. The results of this paper show that the financial factors take the top position, and followed by customer related factors, process factors and education & growth factors. This result could be the milestone for the measurement of management performance of medical organization in Korea.

The study examined the impact of medical servicescape, human services, and effects on perceived value and customer satisfaction. From July 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016, a total of 300 outpatients visiting the university hospital and general hospital in Ulsan area participated the study. As a result, the general features of the Servicescape were more important to the aged and the higher the academic background, the higher the scores of Human Service and perceived value were revealed. There was a positive correlation between the service schedule of the medical institution, human service, perceived value, and customer satisfaction. And the factors affecting customer satisfaction were in order of human service (${\beta}=0.382$), perceived value (${\beta}=0.376$). The service scapegoats and personal services offered by customers visiting healthcare providers play an important role in understanding the internal health and needs of customers, and this research results will serve as a basic material for strengthening the competitiveness of medical institutions.
