Laboratory medicine is a specialized division that supports physicians in the care of patients by providing rapid and accurate in vitro diagnostic tests. Standardization of every component of a specific test is essential for producing accurate results. The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) was founded to develop a formal consensus process for standardization in 1968, and has been publishing standards and guidelines covering all aspects of clinical, research, and other laboratory work. CLSI guidelines are widely used around the world for standardization. The CLSI antimicrobial susceptibility testing subcommittee (AST SC) consists of 6 standing and many ad hoc working groups. Members of the AST SC review submitted proposals and suggestions, decide on approving these submissions in face-to-face meetings held twice a year, and revise CLSI documents accordingly. As these face-to-face meetings are open to anyone who registers to attend, I strongly encourage the members of our Society to attend and actively participate in document development.

An essential measure to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAI) is to develop a consistent system of surveillance, thereby promoting a reliable situation diagnosis to perform efficient control for the problem. Patient-to-patient transmission of pathogens within the hospital plays a substantial role in the epidemiology of HAIs. Contamination of healthcare environments commonly occurs, including facilities surfaces (e.g., bed rails, bedside tables), drinking water, cooling tower water, endoscopic instruments, food, airborne, endotoxin test, sterile test and medical equipment, with pathogenic organisms. In addition, epidemiological analysis is performed by multi locus sequence tying, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis for active surveillance. Therefore, an environmental surveillance culture test for prevention improves patient safety and blocks infection agents. Effective infection control and increased safety are possible by controlling the national infection control system. In conclusion, this study contributes to an effective infection control system through the standardization of active surveillance culture laboratory and secure expertise as infection control specialist. The primary objective of the standardization is to improve the safety of the nation's healthcare system by reducing the rates of HAIs.

Purpose : To evaluate the usefulness of the breathing exercise,we analyzed the change in the RPM signal and the diaphragm imagebefore 4D respiratory gated radiation therapy planning of lung cancer patients. Materials and Methods : The breathing training was enforced on 11 patients getting the 4D respiratory gated radiation therapy from April, 2016 until August. At the same time, RPM signal and diaphragm image was obtained respiration training total three steps in step 1 signal acquisition of free-breathing state, 2 steps respiratory signal acquisition through the guide of the respiratory signal, 3 steps, won the regular respiration signal to the description and repeat training. And then, acquired the minimum value, maximum value, average value, and a standard deviation of the inspiration and expiration in RPM signal and diaphragm image in each steps. Were normalized by the value of the step 1, to convert the 2,3 steps to the other distribution ratio (%), by evaluating the change in the interior of the respiratory motion of the patient, it was evaluated breathing exercise usefulness of each patient. Results : The mean value and the standard deviation of each step were obtained with the procedure 1 of the RPM signal and the diaphragm amplitude as a 100% reference. In the RPM signal, the amplitudes and standard deviations of four patients (36.4%, eleven) decreased by 18.1%, 27.6% on average in 3 steps, and 2 patients (18.2%, 11 people) had standard deviation, It decreased by an average of 36.5%. Meanwhile, the other four patients (36.4%, eleven) decreased by an average of only amplitude 13.1%. In Step 3, the amplitude of the diaphragm image decreased by 30% on average of 9 patients (81.8%, 11 people), and the average of 2 patients (18.2%, 11 people) increased by 7.3%. However, the amplitudes of RPM signals and diaphragm image in 3steps were reduced by 52.6% and 42.1% on average from all patients, respectively, compared to the 2 steps. Relationship between RPM signal and diaphragm image amplitude difference was consistent with patterns of movement 1, 2 and 3steps, respectively, except for No. 2 No. 10 patients. Conclusion : It is possible to induce an optimized respiratory cycle when respiratory training is done. By conducting respiratory training before treatment, it was possible to expect the effect of predicting the movement of the lung which could control the patient's respiration. Ultimately, it can be said that breathing exercises are useful because it is possible to minimize the systematic error of radiotherapy, expect more accurate treatment. In this study, it is limited to research analyzed based on data on respiratory training before treatment, and it will be necessary to verify with the actual CT plan and the data acquired during treatment in the future.

Automobile insurance medical expenses increased by 12% in year 2015 compared to year 2014. But the oriental medical service expenses in automobile insurance increased by 36% during the same period. In this paper the reason for the rapid increase of expenses for oriental medical service was analyzed using the method of decomposing medical expenses. As a result of analyzing 34,351,120 cases that were examined and completed during the period of 2014~2015, the number of oriental medicine patients increased by 27% and the medical expense per patient increased by 7%. The result of analysis showed that there was no significant change in service period per patient but medical expense per day increased by 7%. The increase in the number of patients receiving only oriental medical services was 32%. Increase in the number of patients receiving medical treatment and oriental medical services was 24% and the number of patients receiving medical treatment only decreased by 4%. There was significant increase in non standardized cost of oriental physical therapy which was one reason of the increase of the expenses. However, the most influential factor of the increase in the expenses of oriental medical services was the increase of the number of patients.

In order to analyze the variation in length of stay(LOS) of injury inpatients, we developed severity-adjusted LOS model using Korean National Discharge In-depth Injury Survey data of Center for Disease Control. Appling this model, we calculated predicted values and, after standardizing LOS using the differences from the actual values, analyzed the variation in LOS. Major factors affecting severity-adjusted LOS of injury inpatients were found to be severity, surgery(or no surgery), age, injury mechanism and channel of hospitalization. Result of analysis of the differences between the actual values and predicted values adjusted by decision tree model suggested that there were statistically significant differences by hospital size(number of beds), type of insurance and location of institution. In order to reduce the variation in LOS, efforts should be exerted in developing nationwide treatment protocol, inducing medical institutions to utilize it, and furthermore systematically evaluating it to reduce the variation continually.

한의학적 중요 진단방법의 하나인 맥진은 한의사 경험에 의해 구전되거나 전수되어 판단 기준이 모호하여 객관화 및 표준화하기 어려운 상황이다. 이를 위해 한의사가 맥진에서 측정하는 물리적 요소를 신뢰성 있게 측정할 수 있는 맥진기 개발이 진행되었으며, 측정된 맥진기 데이터를 이용하여 맥의 부/침, 허/실, 대/세의 정도를 판별할 수 있는 함수식을 만들어 향후 맥진을 자동으로 진단할 수 있도록 알고리즘을 산출하는 연구를 수행중이다. 그런데 맥진기는 환자의 맥파 신호 이외에 다른 정보를 고려하고 있지 않고 있지만 임상에서 한의사들은 환자의 키와 몸집 등 눈으로 관찰된 환자정보를 반영하여 맥진을 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 환자의 기초 정보 중, BMI가 맥진에 영향을 줄 것으로 가정하고, BMI와 연관성이 있을 것으로 예상되는 부/침, 허/실, 대/세의 판별함수 결과 값을 이용하여 BMI의 등급에 따라 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 부/침의 정도는 비만인 그룹에서 맥이 가라앉아있고 저체중인 그룹에서는 맥이 떠있는 경향이 나타났고, 대/세의 정도는 비만인 그룹에서는 맥의 굵기가 넓고 저체중의 집단에서는 맥의 굵기가 좁은 경향이 나타났다. 따라서 부/침, 대/세를 판별하는 진단 알고리즘을 개발할 경우 개인의 BMI를 고려한 진단 알고리즘이 연구되어야 하겠다.
