The data of 485,953 patients who were at the age of 30 and up and used the out-patient departments of every medical institution located in some regions involving two southern and northern provinces once or more during a 184-day period from July to December, 2008. As a result of analyzing their Continuity of Ambulatory Care and factors affecting it, the following findings were given: The continuity of ambulatory care among the adult patients with hypertension in our country turned out to be on a high level(MMCI $0.96{\pm}0.13$, MFPC $0.96{\pm}0.12$). Given examining the outpatient medical-cure continuity level according to index, the averagely medical-cure continuity level was calculated to be high level with MMCI, $0.96{\pm}0.13$, and MFPC $0.96{\pm}0.12$. Thus, the tendency of visiting only one medical provider was high. The findings of the study illustrated that the average continuity of ambulatory care among the adult patients with hypertension in our country was on a high level, and it seemed that special care should be provided to patients with a low-level continuity of ambulatory care, such as women and elderly people aged 64 and over. The findings of the study are expected to serve as one of the barometers for the health care of patients with hypertension and for the performance of national hypertension management plans.

In the paper. the health card system to integrate several cards into one card for protecting patient's privacy and security problems is proposed. Firstly, it is defined the minimal data set for integrating several patient cards into one card using IC card, and developed the issuing system to issue the integrated patient IC card. In order to secure and certificate a patient's personal information. the integrated patient IC card has applied 3-DES and the PKI certificate authority based Windows 2000 is established. The receipt and reservation system for taking care of a healthcare has developed to cooperate with the existing hospital computer system. The integrating patient IC card system proposed in this paper is implemented to 11 hospitals and used for 1.000 patients. On the result of the simulation. the proposed system can receive or reserve for a patient to take care of healthcare in the simulated hospitals and also establish the basis of the mechanism to share a medical information.

These days ships medical treatment is under unfavorable circumstances, because there is no professional doctor who can diagnose and treat the patients accurately on the ships. Therefore, ship's telemedicine should be urgently actualized to elevate the crew's my of boarding life and welfare. A purpose of this research is to develope the telemedicine system which can acquire the patient's informations like ECG and phonocardiogram used for the diagnosis and transmit those to the doctors of shore medical center. In this paper, we designed the communication part which could transmit the bio-signals acquired from the developed ship's digital ECG and stethoscope based on personal computer by the INMARSAT Also we inspected data errors through the comparison between the sent and received data And we confirmed the possibility and compatibility of the telemedicine using ship's communication system.
