RNA 정량검사는 혈중 바이러스 농도를 측정하는 검사로, 감염인의 투약과 치료에 필수적인 검사로써 감염인이라면 $3{\sim}6$개월 간격으로 정기적으로 받는 검사이다. 그동안 국가에서 시행해 왔던 RNA 정량검사가 2009년 7월 1일자로 민간 의료기관에서 시행된다. RNA 정량검사를 민간 의료기관에서 실시하게 됨에 따라 감염인의 진료비 부담이 증가하게 된다. 병원에 따라서는 감염인의 비급여 본인부담금을 고려하여 특진료를 가산하지 않는 병원도 있으나 이는 극히 일부 병원에 불과한 실정이다.

This study is a development of quality scale and a measurement of quality levels for the Hospital Information System(HIS) used in the hospital industry. This study is to provide decision-making guidelines for hospital managers, system analysts, and software designers, and to provide feedback for the users' information needs. The target people of the study were medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and clerical staff. The service contexts of usability were diagnosis/treatment, nursing, medicine preparation, and treatment fee receipt/claim. The quality factors were the efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction of IS09241-11. This study shows that the current domestic HISs are mostly based on patient diagnosis/treatment and treatment fee accounting, and that other quality scales are necessary according to different job categories, specializations, positions, and service domains. Especially, the low quality of HIS was found in the abnormal service processing, information sharing by outside institutions, and standardization. It may be added that the HIS should be improved and developed in these respects.

Although the National Health Insurance, many people sign up for private health insurance to alleviate their financial burden. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between private health insurance and subjective financial burden about cost sharing. To confirm the effect we conducted the binary logistic regression by utilizing the Health Care Policy related to public survey. The private health insurance have a significantly association with the subjective financial burden about cost sharing. People who uninsured to purchase private health insurance were more likely to have the burden. Therefore, given the low participation rate of private medical insurance for high age and low income group, we suggest the need for redefining the role of private insurance to enhance the function and resolve equity issues to prepare for the burden.

This study examined the effect of long-term care utilization on the health care utilization of Medicaid elderly. The subjects were 5,834 long-term care insurance with the level 1 Medicaid elders, who received either service or non-service. This study examined the impact of long-term care service on the probability of health care utilization and the costs of health care utilization. The total medical cost and inpatient day between 2009-2007 were significant factors affecting long-term care utilization (${\beta}=.29$, p< .001, ${\beta}=.33$, p< .001 ) and this variable explained 22.6% of the total medical cost and 22.4% of the inpatient day. The results showed that non-service in long-term care was associated with an increase in health care utilization. The current long-term care insurance system should place higher priority and more resource allocation on long-term care utilization to increase the efficiency of the insurance system.

Following the last issue, we summarized the major medical judgments in 2018. Especially, efforts have been made to introduce as many judgments as they relate to the obligation to explain. This is because the limits of the court's judgments were so diverse that it was unknown. Regarding the extent of damages, attention should also be paid to cases where the cost of care is recognized as a large amount, and cases where the memorandum is effective for the increased cost of treatment. The rulings related to the payment and deduction of medical expenses were the most discussed, although the description was small. The case of multi-institutional operation of medical institutions is an interim decision, but it is a case of interest in the medical community, and regarding uninsured medical expenses, cases of discretionary abuse have been reduced compared to the past, but are still significant.
