전자의무기록(EMR)[1]을 도입한 이후 현재 의료장비의 EMR 연동상황이 극히 미비한 상태로 대두되고 있다. 종합병원 의료장비의 약 30%정도는 검사 결과물이 출력이 안되고 보여지기만 하는 구조로 되어 있어 직접 수기로 EMR 에 연동할 수 있는 소프트웨어에 입력하여 EMR 에 연동하고 있으며, 약 60%는 의료장비에서 프린터 혹은 시리얼통신으로 데이터를 출력할 수 있는 구조로 되어있다. 하지만 의료장비의 노후화 및 검사결과물의 인터페이스 특성이 다양하기 때문에 쉽게 연동하지 못하고 있으며, 대부분 종이 출력 결과물을 스캔을 통해 이미지를 저장하거나 받아서 EMR 에 연동하고 있다. 그 외 나머지 10%는 의료장비 자체의 저장장치 또는 네트워크를 통해 검사결과 데이터를 EMR 에 전송하는 구조로[2] 되어있다. 본 논문에서는 의료장비의 프린터를 통한 결과물을 EMR 에 연동하기 위한 인터페이스 솔루션을 구현하고, 검사결과의 출력 데이터를 이미지 복원 및 관리하는 방법을 통해 많은 수의 의료장비의 출력 데이터를 EMR 연동을 하여 인력 및 기타 사무용품의 소모를 줄이며, 검사결과를 실시간 진단할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다.

이 논문은 코로나 팬데믹 시대에 원격 의료 서비스의 중요성이 부상함에 따라, LLM(Large Language Model)과 웨어러블 기기를 활용한 의료 기술의 발전과 이를 통한 의료 서비스의 혁신에 대해 다루고 있다. 코로나 19 대응을 위해 원격 의료에 대한 법적 제한이 완화되며, 이에 따른 원격 의료 시스템의 확대를 언급하고 있다. LLM 을 활용한 의료 정보 관리와 웨어러블을 통한 건강 모니터링을 소개하며, 대화형 AI 를 통한 문의사항 처리와 2 차 처방, 실시간 번역 AI 기술 등의 기술적 혁신을 언급하고 있다. 이러한 기술들이 의료 서비스의 혁신과 개인 건강 관리에 새로운 차원을 열어주지만, 보안 문제와 디지털 격차 등의 문제가 동반될 수 있다고 경고하며, 이를 극복하기 위한 대책과 지속적인 개선이 필요하다고 강조하고 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.

Two alternative dispute resolutions for medical dispute have been operated under the States of German Medical Associations. The first is the medical mediation committee of North german area, the other is the advisory committee on medical errors in North-Rhine area. The former has focused on the mediation itself, the latter commission has focused on the expert review itself whether the physician has maintained reasonable care in diagnosis and treatment. Even though these organizations have maintained under the medical associations, to maintain the neutrality on legal and medical decision, the North German mediation committee is composed of a lawyer and a medicine doctor respectively and North-Rhine advisory committee has a lawyer chair person and four medicine doctors. The main difference of Korean Medical Dispute Mediation Agency in respect from the german system is that expert review is subordinated to the mediation process. The neutrality of expert review is suspected from the medicine doctors. The neytrality and the efficiency should be improved to treat the medical disputes. To do so, lawyer and medicine doctor work together in mediation process and lawyer should manage the expert review process but not involved. Mediation process and expert review should be checked and balanced, and they could be developed as a separated process itself.

The method of this study is that secondary analysis of the 2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey was conducted for 7178 respondents aged 19 over. We use the logistic regression and t-test for data analysis. The first dependent variable was dichotomy which is divided to private health insured or uninsured and the second dependent variable was the presence and frequency of outpatient and inpatient use. The descriptive variables was gender, age, marital status, income, education, occupation, type of national health insurance, residential area, self confidence of health, prevalence rate of common disease, activity limitation, drinking and smoking status. The result of the major findings are as follows. First, 59 under aged person, married person, people in the higher brackets of income, national employee insured were more likely to infiltrate private health insurance. The poor self confidence of health, activity limitation, person with hypertension or allergic rhinitis and smoker were negatively related in infiltrating private health insurance.

This was a qualitative study on medical aid patients to understand the cause and process of statistical difference of health service utilization between medical aid and health insurance patients. The main results were the following; 1) There was few overuse of health service in medical aid patients. The reason of heavy utilization was mainly due to the complicated disease. Some of them were considered to overuse physical therapy and oriental acupuncture. 2) In case of medical aid patients, medical cost was paid by their welfare benefit of government or by the support of family or neighbors. They usually could not adequately use the services of uninsured benefit or large hospitals due to the cost. Some patients just endured the pain. There was still discrimination for medical aid patients in some medical institutions. 3) The health officials and institutions did not provide sufficient information to medical aid patients about the policy of medical cost support. 4) Health policies, such as selective clinic system, medial aid case management, approval of extended care, were considered to contribute in preventing unnecessary use of health service. However, this might limit adequate use of medical aid service. In conclusion, there is little evidence of overuse of health service for medical aid patients, which is different from the previous studies. A new plan is necessary, because medical aid patients thought that the necessary health service was not accessible to them.

This study examines the use of medical care by the poor through analysing KNHANES III databases, and the focus of the study is on under-satisfaction of medical needs and the impact of the medicare system. The results of analysis are summerized as follows; the poor had generally suffered from poor health condition, and did not have economic resoure to satisfy the medical needs. But, the beneficiaries of the medicare used much more medical care than non-poor. The result of logistic regression suggest that the medicare affected significantly on increase of uses. Consquently, the medicare system effectively made up the lack of economic resoure of the poor. However, the Medicare did not sufficient to satisfy all the medical needs of the poor. Over 20% of the poor had experinced the abandonment of meical care uses, "the lack of econmic resource" was most important reason. The result of logistic regression suggest that all the poor such as Medicare I and Medicare II beneficiaries, and near-poor class had much more probabilities of giving up the use of medical care than non-poor. It is necessary to raise up the benefit level of the current medicare system such as the reduction of non-secured medical cost, the alleviation of user's burden etc.

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.
