This study aims to develop a convergence optimized LOS(Length of Stay) management system that can provide efficient by predicting LOS on outpatient information for inducing the LOS to manage their own activities. web program has been implemented to comput in real-time predicting LOS by using the predicted LOS model of outpatient information. The predict model was derived management targets of long term predicted patient group and intensive care patient group. The optimized LOS(Length of Stay) management system was confirmed efficient for optimizing management of LOS that can provide by the long-term predicting alarm and over LOS alarm service for long term predicted patient group and intensive care patient group. Therefore the trial operating policy alternative on extension of predicted LOS is needed to utilized convergence optimizing system on LOS.

최근 병원 간 경쟁이 격화되고 의료시장의 개방이 임박하면서 많은 병원들이 경쟁력강화를 위한 전략 수립에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 일반적으로 서비스산업의 경영에 있어서 고객의 요구를 파악하고 이를 경영관리에 반영하는 것은 중요한 경쟁력강화 전략의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 특히 의료서비스에 있어서 환자 만족은 소비자 선택에 직접적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다(Burns, 1994). 최근 강조되고 있는 환자중심의 병원도 병원을 찾는 환자를 의료소비자 개념의 고객으로 보고 그들을 만족시킬 수 있도록 의료 기술적, 인간 관계적, 서비스 편의적 노력을 다해야 한다는 의미를 내포하고 있다. 병원에서의 환자만족 향상 노력은 그 자체가 매우 다차원적인(multidimensional) 개념으로 양질의 의료서비스를 통한 삶의 질 향상과 환자들에게 병원에 대한 좋은 이미지를 심어줌으로써 충성도를 높이고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference of medical care between medical assistance and health insurance patients to evaluate the increase of medical care costs due to the moral hazard of medical care patients and to provide a basis for rational medical care policy decision. For this purpose, we compared health insurance benefit data for Seoul citizens by gender, age, and type of medical institutions. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, all of the hospitalized and outpatient use of the advanced general Hospitals, medical assistance patients were less than those of the health insurance patients, so that the medical assistance patients could not use the high cost medical services. Second, in general hospitals, patients with health insurance are often hospitalized. On the other hand, medical assistance patients use a lot of outpatient services because they are less burdened. Third, in hospitals and clinics, medical benefits patients often use inpatient and outpatient services. Therefore, medical assistance patients are likely to use unnecessary medical care of outpatient and hospitalization clinics and hospitals, outpatient of general hospitals. But, in hospitalization and outpatient use in advanced general hospitals and medical assistance patients can not use due to excessive medical burden. Therefore, the policy to reduce the burden of medical expenses for patients with severe illness will continue, and the medical care patients using clinics and hospitals should be careful not to use unnecessary medical services.

The purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing treatment result in patients with Tuberculosis by patient characteristic, admission and disease characteristic, and hospital characteristic from 2006 to 2012. Survey data was using Korean national hospital discharge in-depth survey data produced by KCDC(Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention). Study subjects were 8,305 inpatients with TB(A15.0~A19.9) and analyzed frequency, chi-square test, and logistic regression by using SPSS 20(Statistical Package for the Science). The results of this study show that influencing factors of treatment result were ages (20-39, 40-64, and over 65 years), type of insurance(medical aid), disease code (A16, A17, A18, A19), LOS (31-90, and 91-180 days), beds of hospital (300-499, 500-999, over 1,000 beds) and hospital district (non-metropolitan). These findings implied that it is necessary to support successful prevention and management for high risk TB groups and to build middle and long-term policies as well as short -term policy.

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.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify the associated factors on the metabolic syndrome among inpatients with schizophrenia. Methods: The participants were 127 inpatients with schizophrenia from G mental hospital in G city. Collected data were analized with SPSS 22.0 using descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test and logistic regression. Results: Metabolic syndrome prevalence of the participants was 46.5%. There were statistically significant differences according to physical disease (${\chi}^2=11.51$, p<.001), body mass index (${\chi}^2=13.59$, p<.001), perception of obesity (${\chi}^2=8.38$, p<.001), and taking olanzapine (${\chi}^2=6.31$, p<.05). Conclusion: Based on the study results, the nursing intervention for prevention and management of metabolic syndrome is needed to develop and provide to schizophrenia patients.

Purpose : Because we don't have inappropriate health care system for the terminal cancer patients, there were abnormal behavior patterns of health care utilization. So, There were needs to develop the comprehensive care for terminal cancer patients. Increased attention is being paid to the futility of life-sustaining treatment and high cost of management of terminal cancer patients Materials and Methods : This study was performed on cancer patients, registered in 1996 Central Cancer Registry, who were as insured person of Korea Medical Insurance and died from January 1997 to June 1998. We studied the day of medical care and medical expenses of 151 cancer patients evaluable. Results : The mean day of inpatient care was 39 days, and the mean days of outpatient care was 14 days in study subjects. Mean expenses per day of medical care, day of inpatient, and day of outpatients care were 85,392 won, 105,908 won, and 40,173 won. 95% of medical expenses is paid to the general hospital, and 85% of medical expenses was paid for inpatient care. About half of all medical expenses in th last 6 months were incurred in the last 60 days of life, and about 30 percent were incurred in the last 30 days. Expenses of outpatients care increased between 6 month and 3 months, after which they decreased. Expenses of inpatients care increased during all last 6months Conclusion : The distribution or medical expenses during the last 6 months in our study is similar to the distribution of American Medicare costs. We need to study medical expenses during the last year of life with large scale and details in order to develop the plan about the management of terminal cancer patient.

This study investigates the characteristics of patients hospitalized at a convalescent hospital, by considering patient groups based on their medical record information. It further analyzes and correlates the factors, thus providing basic data required to improve the patient classification system at convalescent hospitals. The data includes total information of 213 medical records of patients discharged from a convalescent hospital in the Jeonbuk region during a period of one year, from January to December 2016. The study examines and correlates the days of hospitalization and the number of diseases, revealing a positive correlation having a correlation coefficient, thereby indicating that infliction with a greater number of diseases results in longer hospitalization. Based on these findings, the study raises the need to revise and supplement items on the patient assessment report to help determine the patient groups and identify medical efforts to be actually provided to patients. In addition, a proper care service system for each patient group based on their respective problems that are intensively managed according to the patient groups will be an essential element in the efficient management of convalescent hospitals. Furthermore, an important task addressed will be in managing the health of the elderly population at the national level.
