현재 규모가 작은 이름바 '동네 병원'에서는 환자관리의 어려움과 동네 병원의 특성상 병원 자체적인 예약 서비스를 실시하지 않는 병원이 많다. 또한 환자는 기다리는 환자들이 많은 시간에 방문하는 경우, 병원 안에서 자신의 순번을 마냥 기다리는 경우가 빈번하게 발생한다. 이와 같은 불편들 때문에 간호사는 고객에게 간호업무 이외에도 정신적인 서비스를 제공해야 하며, 환자들은 자신의 순번이 오기만을 하염없이 기다리는 등의 불필요한 시간 소모가 크고 자신의 앞에 대기하고있는 환자가 많으면 병원이 어수선하고 앉을 자리조차 없이 서서 기다리는 경우도 허다하다. 이런 불편함들을 조금이나마 해결해주고자 본 논문에서는 저전력 블루투스 (BLE) 기술 기반의 비콘(Beacon)을 활용하여 스마트폰을 이용해 병원 내부적인 예약 서비스가 없어도 자체적인 예약 서비스와 이용자가 스마트폰을 가지고 병원에 들어가기만 해도 자동으로 병원 진료접수를 진행하고 이를 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 사물인터넷 기반 병원 대기시간 최적화 서비스와 그 핵심 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 이용하면 간호사는 이전보다 간호업무에 더 집중할 수 있게 되고, 환자는 북적거리는 병원 대기실에 앉아서 기다리지 않고 실외로 나가 자신의 업무를 보고 진료시간에 맞춰서 돌아와 진료를 받는 '사람이 많아도 한적해 보이는 스마트 병원'을 만들 수 있을 것이라 본다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in patient distribution and practice pattern resulted from changes of socioeconomic circumstances. From January 2008 to December 2017, information about patient distribution and practice pattern was collected and reviewed. Both the number of new patients and revisiting patients increased. The average age of new patients showed a declining trend. Children aged between 0 and 6 had the majority. In case of restorative treatment, the use of composite resin decreased, whereas resin modified glass ionomer increased. As to pulp treatment of primary tooth, the proportion of pulpectomy increased significantly, but decreased in pulpotomy. The results showed an increase in the treatments under sedation and general anesthesia and with the use of midazolam and nitric oxide increased after 2014.

Objectives: This study was conducted to identify factors that affect medical service performance in rural health sub-centers and to develop a method to improve health sub-center performance that takes advantage of these insights. Methods: This study included 1,242 South Korean health sub-centers that had been in operation at least since December 31, 2009 as units of analysis. After adjusting for population differences between areas, the performance of medical service among health sub-centers was analyzed according to medical services performed per person. We performed t-tests, ANOVA, Scheffe's tests and multiple regression analyses. Results: The following were significant variables affecting the medical service performance of rural health sub-centers: number of hospitals and clinics, presence of community health practitioner posts, distance from health sub-centers to main public health centers, distance from health sub-centers to the nearest emergency medical facilities, and proportion of the local population aged 65 and over. In contrast, the proportion of the local population between ages 0-4 and the placement of public health doctors that had already completed their internship were not significant variables. Conclusions: The medical service performance of health sub-centers located in rural areas is significantly affected by local population and health care environment characteristics, and therefore, it is imperative to develop strategies to provide differentiated service based on these factors.

This study was conducted to determine factors affecting professionalism of community health practitioners (CHPs). The participants in this study were 153 community health practitioners working in G province with structured self-report questionnaires from 20 August to 25 September 2017. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANONA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression using the SPSS 20.0 program. There were statistically significant differences according to income (F=6.951, p<.001), work experience (F=5.245, p=0.002) and motivation for choosing a community health practitioner (F=3.676, p=0.004). The highest related factors were job satisfaction (${\beta}=0.320$, p<0.001), individual disposition (${\beta}=0.291$, p<0.001), income (${\beta}=0.283$, p<0.001) and job continuance (${\beta}=0.176$, p=0.009). These variables explained 49.6% of the total variance in professionalism. These findings suggest that it is necessary to develop a convergence program and policy support at the individual and organizational level to strengthen the professionalism of community health practitioners.

The spectrum of pediatric dentistry has been changing recently, due to many socioeconomic changes and developments in dental materials. The purpose of this study was to recognize the changing pattern in pediatric dental treatment and to present the direction for pediatric dentistry in the future. Patient distribution and practice trends were reviewed based on the patient records of the department of pediatric dentistry, Seoul National University Dental Hospital, from 2000 to 2005. Results were as follows ; 1. In 2000, preventive treatments comprised 14.5%, restorative treatments 52.6%, surgical treatments 11.4% and orthodontic treatments 21.5%. In 2005, the percentages were changed to 12.1%, 38.3%, 13.7%, and 35.9% respectively, showing a decline in preventive and restorative treatments and an increase in surgical and orthodontic treatments. 2. In restorative treatments, the proportion of amalgam, stainless steel crown restoration and pulp treatments decreased, and that of glass ionomer and resin restoration increased. 3. The number of out-patients increased from 2000 to 2002, and decreased thereafter. 4. In 2005, the average age of patients decreased from that of 2000.

This study endeavors to provide basic data for healthcare policy development by identifying factors that influence the unmet healthcare needs of the elderly with chronic diseases. The study utilized data from the 2017 Korean National Survey on the Elderly, and analyzed 9,117 elders afflicted with more than 1 chronic disease. We determined that 851 (9.3%) elders experienced unmet healthcare needs from hospital & clinical treatment, and 1,469 (16.1%) elders experienced unmet dental treatment. 'Economic difficulty' was the most common reason expressed by 425 (49.9%) elders for unmet healthcare needs from hospital and clinical treatment, and by 1,066 (72.6%) elders for dental treatment. Furthermore, unmet healthcare needs in hospital and clinical treatment were affected by various factors, including spouse, education, self-rated health status and exercise, whereas unmet healthcare needs in dental treatment were affected by factors such as spouse, education, medical aids, self-rated health status, smoking, and exercise. Based on the research results achieved, we propose a necessity to establish healthcare policies that consider the influencing factors, and help resolve the unmet healthcare needs of the elderly with chronic diseases.

This study investigated the differences in how medical institutions are chosen according to the motivation of medical service utilization(minor disease, major disease, chronic disease management, cosmetic). Importance order of selection for the minor disease were medical skill, kindness, rapidness, proximity, importance order of selection for major disease and cosmetic were medical skill, facilities, reputation, medical fee, importance order of selection for chronic disease management were medical skill, facilities, kindness, medical fee. From this medical study skill was a more important factor in medical institutions irrespective of motivation, subjects with the major disease tend to consider the selection of the medical institutions more important, except proximity. Medical users select medical institutions according to the motivation of visiting, and there were differences in same motivation according to socioeconomic status and information searching behavior.
