  • 보건의료의 이용이 의료서비스 공급자 중심에서 소비자 중심으로 변화되어가면서, 환자 본인의 건강정보관리와 알 권리 보장이 부각되고 있다. 이러한 시대적 흐름과 변화에 따라 환자 자신의 건강정보를 알기 위하여 자신의 의료정보를 관리할 수 있게 하는 도구인 개인건강정보(PHR)의 중요성이 증가하게 되었다. 따라서, 이 연구는 의료이용자(보건대학생)와 의료제공자(의과대학생) 간의 개인건강기록(PHR)의 이해정도, 활용, 관리에 대해 조사한 후 두 연구대상 간의 차이를 비교함에 있다. 이 연구의 조사대상은 보건학 전공 학부생과 의과대학생을 선택적으로 선별하였고, 2011년 4월에서 5월까지 보건대학생 106부, 의과대학생 102부를 조사하였다. 개인건강기록(PHR)의 이해정도, 기록의 중요도, 제공기능의 도움정도, 시간 비용 효율성을 t-test를 통해 비교하였다. 또한 개인건강기록(PHR)의 형식과 관리 운영주체의 분포를 파악하기 위해 빈도분석과 $x^2$-test를 하였다. 개인건강기록(PHR)의 이해 정도는 유의한 차이가 없었으나 보건대학생의 주관적, 객관적 이해 정도의 평균(3.51점, 3.58점)이 의과대학생보다 높은 경향을 보였다. 개인건강정보(PHR)의 중요도는 알레르기이력, 가족질병이력이 두 집단 간 유의한 차이를 보였고, 기능에서는 신체검사 모니터링과 건강 유해요인 관리에서 유의한 차이가 나타났으며, 효율성에서는 시간 절감이 유의한 차이를 보였다. 개인건강기록(PHR)의 관리에서 제공형식은 통합형 방식이 우세하였으나 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았고, 운영주체에서는 보건대학생은 본인이 관리하겠다는 응답이 50.0%로 우세하였고, 의과대학생은 의료기관이 관리하는 것이 52.8%의 분포를 보였으며 두 집단 간의 차이는 유의하였다. 현재 개인건강정보(PHR)에 대해 많은 수요와 필요성을 인식하고 있었지만, 활성화에는 한계가 있다. 앞으로 개인건강기록(PHR)의 활성화를 위해서는 연령대별, 질환에 따른 추후 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 이 연구는 이전에 시도되지 않았던 의료소비자와 의료제공자의 입장에서 두 집단 간의 차이를 서술함으로써 향후 개인건강기록(PHR)의 활성화를 위한 기초자료가 될 것이다.

  • Recently, RFID/USN is one of fundamental technologies in information and communications networks. Low-Rate WPAN, IEEE802.15.4 is a low-cost communication network that allows wireless connectivity in applications with limited Power and relaxed throughput requirements. Its applications are building automation, personal healthcare, industrial control, consumer electronics, and so on. Some applications require location information. Of course location awareness is useful to improve usability of data Low-Rate WPAN Is regarded as a key specification of the sensor network with the characteristics of wireless communication, computing, energy scavenging, self-networking, and etc. Unfortunately ZigBee alliance propose a lot of applications based on location aware technologies, but the specification and low-rate WPAN devices don't support anything about location-based services. RSSI ( Received Signal Strength indication) is for energy detection to associate, channel selection, and etc. RSSI is used to find the location of a potable device in WLAN. In this paper we studied indoor location awareness using vector matching of RSSI in low-Rate wireless PAN. We analyzed the characteristics of RSSI according to distance and experimented location awareness. We implemented sensor nodes with different shapes and configured the sensor network for the location awareness with 4 fixed nodes and a mobile node. We try to contribute developing location awareness method using RSSI in 3-dimension space.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of shared-decision making on patient satisfaction. The study is significant since it focuses on developing appropriate methodologies and analyzing data to identify patient preferences, with the goals of optimizing treatment selection, and substantiating the relationship between such preferences and their impact on outcomes. Methods: A thorough literature review that developed the framework illustrating key dimensions of shared decision making was followed by a quantitative assessment and regression analysis of patient-perceived satisfaction, and the degree of shared-decision making. Results: A positive association was evident between shared-decision making and patient satisfaction. The impact of shared decision making on patient satisfaction was greater than other variable including gender, education, and number of visits. Conclusions: Patients who participate in care-related decisions and who are given an explanation of their health problems are more likely to be satisfied with their care. It would benefit health care organizations to train their medical professionals in this communication method, and to include it in their practice guidelines.

  • Objectives: Health screening in Korea is very active in both the public and private sector. However, primary prevention for health promotion has not been activated yet. Quaternary prevention is the prevention of unnecessary medical interventions or the prevention of overmedicalization. Methods: Data was collected after a search of the literature focusing on keyword. The curriculum guidelines for family medicine residents were collected from the homepage of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Results: This quaternary prevention is just beginning. The first step to enhance the health promotion services in the community is to identify the barriers pertaining to the delivering of health promotion activities. These barriers are related to the patient, the physician, attitudes, health promotion programs and the healthcare system. The second step is to establish new changes, such as expansion of insurance coverage, improvement of medical payment system, provision of consumer-oriented services, connection and integration of providers, and the service provider education and training. Conclusions: In order to enhance the health promotion services in the community we need to identify the barriers and to establish several changes to overcome them.

  • On March 11, 2011, the Korea National Assembly finally passed the bill on the Damage Relief on the Medical Malpractice and Mediation for Medical Dispute. One of the features of this Act is including "The Subrogation Payment System for Damage (abbreviated SPSD)". This System is that 'Korean Medical Dispute Mediation-Arbitration Board' pays the damages, instead of the health care provider, for the patient who isn't paid damages by the health care provider despite of the Mediation or ruling. The purpose of this study is to search the problems and make improvement on SPSD. This System was introduced extreamly to the patients in order to induce them to the mediation. However,there remains several problems. In this articles, I have examined thoroughly the legal issues on SPSD. There are legal issues about the methods and ratio of the financial burden. In this connection, wide discretionary authority has been granted to administrative agencies specifically. On this account, this System clearly contains elements of a violation against the Constitutional Law. Moreover, this System can be broadly applied to the case of court ruling or the Korea Consumer Agency's mediation. But these measures go against the aim of legislation that the medical dispute can be resolved through the mediation or arbitration by this Act. In the end, these problems must be revised through the additional discussion.

  • This paper addresses the issues of 3D human activity detection, tracking and recognition from RGB-D video sequences using a feature structured framework. During human tracking and activity recognition, initially, dense depth images are captured using depth camera. In order to track human silhouettes, we considered spatial/temporal continuity, constraints of human motion information and compute centroids of each activity based on chain coding mechanism and centroids point extraction. In body skin joints features, we estimate human body skin color to identify human body parts (i.e., head, hands, and feet) likely to extract joint points information. These joints points are further processed as feature extraction process including distance position features and centroid distance features. Lastly, self-organized maps are used to recognize different activities. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is reliable and efficient in recognizing human poses at different realistic scenes. The proposed system should be applicable to different consumer application systems such as healthcare system, video surveillance system and indoor monitoring systems which track and recognize different activities of multiple users.
