국내외적으로 의료 데이터의 전산 자동화 처리에 관심과 노력이 기울여 진 후 대부분의 병원에 의료 정보 시스템이 보급되었다. 의료 데이터가 컴퓨터 시스템에 저장되어 병원 내 각 부서별 자원의 공유가 가능하거나 병원 간 자료 전송이 원활하게 이루어진다면 오프라인으로 처리 및 보관하는데서 발생하는 자료의 관리 노력과 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 또한 인터넷 전용선과 광케이블의 보급으로 인하여 원격 시스템 사용이 원활하게 진행될 전망이며, 치료 정도 시스템의 경우 원격 진료 및 환자 정보 검색이 가능하게 된다. 하지만 의료 데이터가 인터넷을 통해 전송될 경우 환자의 사생활 침해 및 의사와 환자 간의 비밀 보장이 파괴될 우려가 남아있게 된다. 데이터 접근 권한 및 데이터 전송에서 오는 보안 기법이 확립되어야 하나, 국내의 경우 의료 정보 유출에 대한 법령과 체계적인 지침 등이 미흡한 상태이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 전자 문서 교환 표준으로 제안되고 있는 XML을 이용하여 의료 데이터가 전송 공유 가능한 병원 정보 교환 시스템(Hospital Information Exchange System : HIES)을 구축하고 데이터 접근 및 전송에 적용 가능한 보안 기법을 소개하고 있다.

Purpose To construct a standard dataset of contrast-enhanced CT images of liver tumors to test the performance and safety of artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms for clinical decision support systems (CDSSs). Materials and Methods A consensus group of medical experts in gastrointestinal radiology from four national tertiary institutions discussed the conditions to be included in a standard dataset. Seventy-five cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, 75 cases of metastasis, and 30-50 cases of benign lesions were retrieved from each institution, and the final dataset consisted of 300 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, 300 cases of metastasis, and 183 cases of benign lesions. Only pathologically confirmed cases of hepatocellular carcinomas and metastases were enrolled. The medical experts retrieved the medical records of the patients and manually labeled the CT images. The CT images were saved as Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files. Results The medical experts in gastrointestinal radiology constructed the standard dataset of contrast-enhanced CT images for 783 cases of liver tumors. The performance and safety of the AI algorithm can be evaluated by calculating the sensitivity and specificity for detecting and characterizing the lesions. Conclusion The constructed standard dataset can be utilized for evaluating the machine-learning-based AI algorithm for CDSS.

Ubiquitous health care system, which is one of the developing solution technologies of IT, BT and NT, could give us new medical environments in future. Implementing health information systems can be complex, expensive and frustrating. Healthcare professionals seeking to acquire or upgrade systems do not have a convenient, reliable way of specifying a level of adherence to communication standards sufficient to achieve truly efficient interoperability. Great progress has been made in establishing such standards-DICOM, IHE and HL7, notably, are now highly advanced. IHE has defined a common framework to deliver the basic interoperability needed for local and regional health information networks. It has developed a foundational set of standards-based integration profiles for information exchange with three interrelated efforts. HL7 is one of several ANSI-accredited Standards Developing Organizations operating in the healthcare arena. Most SDOs produce standards (protocols) for a particular healthcare domain such as pharmacy, medical devices, imaging or insurance transactions. HL7's domain is clinical and administrative data. HL7 is an international community of healthcare subject matter experts and information scientists collaborating to create standards for the exchange, management and integration of electronic healthcare information. The ASTM specification for Continuity of Care Record was developed by subcommittee E31.28 on electronic health records, which includes clinicians, provider institutions, administrators, patient advocates, vendors, and health industry. In this paper, there are suggestions that provide a test bed, demonstration and specification of how standards such a IHE, HL7, ASTM can be used to provide an integrated environment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare compliance with standard precautions of infection prevention between nurses at accredited Korean medicine hospitals and non-accredited Korean medicine hospitals. Methods: Data were collected from a total of 138 participants (69 nurses from 3 accredited hospitals and 69 nurses from 3 non-accredited hospitals) in January of 2021 using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analyses were carried using the SPSS Statistics 24.0 Program. Results: Results showed that the scores of nurses' compliance with standard precautions of infection prevention at accredited Korean medicine hospital (40.54±2.74) were significantly higher (p=.002) than the scores of nurses at the non-accredited Korean medicine hospitals (38.94±3.28). After controlling for covariates, the results were same. In addition, we found that scores of compliance with standard precaution for infection prevention in nurses at hospitals belong to university were significantly high compared to those of nurses at private hospitals. We also found that the scores of compliance with standard precaution for infection prevention in nurses with more than 5 years of experience were significantly higher than those of nurses with less than 3 years of experience (p=.039). Conclusion: Nurses working at the accredited Korean medicine hospitals showed higher scores of compliance with standard precaution for infection prevention. Therefore, it is suggested that the participation in the hospital accreditation program should be encouraged for the Korean medicine hospitals.

This study aimed to identify the effect of occupational calling, compliance with standard precautions and perceived threat for COVID-19 on the COVID-19 burnout of hospital nurses in the convergence society. The participants were 212 nurses; data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, multiple regression. This study found that: hospital nurses showed higher score for perceived threat of COVID-19, higher scores for COVID-19 burnout. The main factors influencing COVID-19 burnout were perceived threat of COVID-19 (𝛽=.233), and working unit (𝛽=.154). They explained about 6.7% of the COVID-19 burnout. Therefore, systematic support and nursing education is needed to reduce the perceived threat of COVID-19 among nurses.

The aim of the study is to investigate the awareness and practice of Standard Precautions towards Hospital Infection Control in Emergency medical technology students. Data were collected from 289 questionnaires from March 20, 2012 to April 25, 2012. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 for window(SPSS Inc, USA) with the level of significance as 0.05. According to the results, significant differences were shown in gender, infection control education and infection control educational institutions. The factors influencing the practice of standard precautions were found to be the times of the contact to blood, body fluid, mucus, or the skin with lesions and the cognition of standard precautions. Cognition level of the EMT students was high but the practice level was low. Based on the results of this study, it is proposed to develop an effective educational program to improve the cognition and practice, and to improve the cognition and practice of the standard precaution through the systematic and repetitive education and training.

Recently most of hospitals progress toward setting up computer based medical information system, and there exists medical standard such as HL7 and DICOM to exchange efficiently between systems each other. However, Heterogeneous system built in each hospital gets a different data structure of medical information for patient and also makes it difficult to share information among hospitals. This paper proposes an integrated medical information system which changes existing diverse types of medical information to a unified structure and combines into one management model using XML from hospital specific medical information system. Thus, our proposed system makes it possible to get an effectively information share across hospitals without considering the internal system structure of other hospital. As a result, Hospitals provide a efficient and correct diagnosis, saving time and cost to patients.

In order to investigate the virulence of Y. enterocolitica isolated in Korea, all necessary experiments were done including several virulence determinating tests-autoagglutination test, calcium-dependency test, HeLa cell invasion test, Sereny test, crystal violet binding test, and electrophoresis for plasmid pattern. The obtained results are as follows: The virulent strains of Y. enterocolitica revealed positive reactions on autoagglutination test, cacium-dependency test, and drystal violet binding test, while the avirulent strains did not. A positive reaction was observed only at $37^{\circ}C$ implying that the expression of virulence is temperature-dependent. In Sereny test, the standard reference virulent strain (serotype 0:8) showed positive reactions while the virylent experimental strains (serotype 1:3, 0:9) revealed negative results, which indicates that the virulence of Y. enterocolitica in experimental animals varied according to their serotypes. Most of the virulent strains contained 36-38Mdal plasmids, but the avirulent strains did not. In addition, it was noted that autoagglutination, calcium-dependency, and crystal violet binding were related to the presence of plasmids.
