The purpose of this study was to examine how clients who visited dental institutions perceived client services, what sorts of client services were provided to them and to what extent they were satisfied with them. It's ultimately meant to seek ways to enhance and enlarge client services. A survey was conducted on 379 residents who used dental institutions in Seoul and Gyeonggi provinces, and the findings of this study were as follows: 1. 64.6 percent of the people investigated weren't aware of client services, and 33.0 percent viewed them as part of medical services. 77.5 percent had grievances about dental institutions they'd ever used. 2. The biggest complaint was that the dental treatments they received weren't covered by the dental insurance. As for how to solve their grievances, the largest group of them told the employees of the dental institutions about their complaints or didn't use them again. When asked whether the dental institutions took any steps to get rid of their grievances, the greatest group replied they had no idea. and the second largest group answered they took no measure. 3. By age and educational level, those who were in their 60s and up and stopped at elementary school were best cognizant of client services. Among client service variables, they were most satisfied with how the employees handled their complaints, and as to overall satisfaction, their willingness to revisit ranked highest. 4. Concerning connections among client service awareness, service variables and overall satisfaction level, their awareness of client services had a positive correlational relationship with every service variable and satisfaction level. Among the service variables, prompt client services and employee attitude were positively correlated to overall satisfaction level, but service procedure, facilities and information services exercised little impact on that. 5. As for what factors affected their content with client services, their client service awareness was identified as one of the important factors to influence their use of dental institutions, the outcome of their visit and their willingness to revisit. The above-mentioned findings suggested that dental institutions should strengthen publicity activities to inform people of client services, and encourage them to express their grievances. In addition, they should take an immediate action to remove their complaints, and try to get a successful feedback to offer higher-quality medical services and customer-oriented services.

This study was conducted to find out basic information on better customer satisfaction and service by examining and analyzing in what routes patients mostly have selected their dental medical organizations and how they have reacted to their dissatisfaction. The subject of study included the patients who have come to dental clinics and dental hospitals to be treated in Cheonan City, Chungnam and the researcher of this study used a survey and analyzed its gathered data using an SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Science) WIN 11.5 Program. As analysis methods, frequency and percentage were calculated to figure out the general characteristics of its subject. In addition, a ${\chi}^2$(Chi-square) test was performed to figure out the factors that patients have selected their dental medical organizations and the following results were obtained. 1. The largest number of patients selected their dental medical organizations by hearsay and more female and married patients selected them by hearsay than other patients, and there were significant differences(p<.05). 2. The dental patients put the priority on treatment techniques in their visiting hospitals and the patients who were more than 40 years old and married patients put more emphasis on treatment techniques in their visiting hospitals than other patients and there were significant differences(p<.05). 3. The said dental patients were not satisfied with the kindness of medical staffs in their visiting medical organizations; meanwhile, the patients who were aged below 30 and had an academic background of more than university degree and were unmarried were less satisfied with the kindness of medical staffs in their visiting medical organizations than other patients and there were significant differences(p<.05). 4. In terms of improvement methods or complaints, the largest number of them said that they just ignored and endured; meanwhile, the patients who were aged below 30 and had an education of more than university degree and were unmarried were more patient of improvement methods or complaints than other patients and there were significant differences(p<.05). 5. There were more patients who have introduced their visiting medical organizations to their neighboring people than the patients who have not done it; in the meantime, the patients who were aged over 40 and were married have introduced their visiting medical organizations to their neighboring people more than other patients(p<.05).

The purpose of this study was to examine how dentists perceived dental coordinators including their education, hiring criteria, working condition and job. It's basically attempted to help define the job and role of 5 and to suggest how they should be nurtured. The subjects in this study were dentists at dental hospitals and clinics where dental coordinators were employed among approximately 200 dental institutions in Seoul, Cyeonggi province and Incheon. After a survey was conducted in June 2005, answer sheets from 99 respondents were analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. Regarding education for dental coordinators, 99.9% of the dentists investigated felt the need for separate education programs for dental coordinators, 42.4% knew what would-be dental coordinators learned about, and 81.8% considered it necessary for them to take intermediate or higher courses. An organization affiliated with the Korea Dental Hygienists Association was viewed as the best institute to educate dental coordinators, and educational institutes that included a department of dental hygiene was looked upon as the second best one. 68.7% believed that dental coordinators should take an official examination to test their qualifications, and concerning educational subsidy, the largest group of the dentists thought that a certain amount of subsidy should be provided. 2. As for coordinator hiring, the top priority was the impression(look) of applicants(55%), followed by adjustability to existing employees(24.5%) and professional competency(17.3%). As to the route of hiring, 41.4 percent, the largest group, reeducated some of existing employees, and dental hygienists were regarded as the best personnels to serve as a coordinator. Concerning job performance, they put the most emphasis on interpersonal relationship, which was followed by executive ability, impression and career, 58.6% the largest group, believed that dental coordinators should have a three-year or higher career to work at a dental institute. 3. As to working conditions, 75.7%, the largest group, paid dental coordinators based on their job performance, and 23.2%, the second largest group, had their pay equal to that of dental hygienists, 88.9% allowed them to determine their own retirement age. 4. In regard to their perception of dental coordinators, the largest number of the dentists considered it necessary for them to keep receiving education(4.29), and the second largest group felt that they served to enhance the image of dental institutes(4.18). The third largest group thought that they contributed to letting patients more satisfied with the quality of dental services. But they tended not to agree that their turnover rate was low(3.04), and they didn't find them to receive appropriate education, either(3.10). 5. The current major job of coordinators associated with customer services was handling appointments with customers(91.9%), treating unsatisfied customers(85.9%), and controling waiting time(84.8%). Regarding self-management, coordinators directed their energy into having good manners(89.9%), acquiring fundamental dental knowledge(84.8%), and learning how to treat customers(83.8%). Concerning hospital affairs handling, they were most responsible for information desk(87.9%), which was followed by receiving(86.9%). As a result of investigating what type of job the dentists hoped dental coordinators to fulfill in consideration of their career, their age and type of investment, the dentists wanted them the most to speak a foreign language, which belonged to the field of self-management.

Objective: This research investigates how to increase the quality of medical service and supply high quality of medical service to patients. By using Kano Model theory we examines what medical service attributes the hospital would be conducted preferentially for patient's satisfaction and provides informations of management strategies for hospitals. Method: To study patients' perception of medical service quality, first we performed pilot test to derive 30 medical service attributes. With 30 medical service attributes, we conducted survey of 300 subjects who have experienced medical services in 6 months. To examine patients' conception of medical services, a modified Kano's questionnaire using 5 scale is applied. Finally we calculated SI(Satisfaction index) and DI(Dissatisfaction index) and PCSI(Potential Customer Satisfaction Improvement) index with Kano's Model analysis results. Key Findings: We found that the quality of medical service categorized in 15 one-dimensional elements, 9 must-be elements and 6 indifferent elements. Moreover the attribute of gives prompt services and have patient's best interest at heart scored the highest SI, whereas the attributes of accurate and precise medical service, exact records, enough explanation and polite attitudes are the highest score of DI. And also good explanation of the bill scored the highest PCSI. In this study findings indicate that while medical service providers try to increase patients' satisfaction by improving hospital's environments, patients' perception of trust and good interpersonal relationships with medical service providers have strong and positive impact on patients' satisfaction.

Background: The current lack of the number of nurses and high nurse turnover rate leads to major problems for the health-care system in terms of cost, patient care ability, and quality of care. Theoretically, burnout may help link emotional labor with turnover intention. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of burnout in the association between emotional labor and turnover intention in Korean clinical nurses. Methods: Using data collected from a sample of 606 nurses from six Korean hospitals, we conducted a multiple regression analysis to determine the relationships among clinical nurses' emotional labor, burnout, and turnover intention, looking at burnout as a mediator. Results: The results fully and partially support the mediating role of burnout in the relationship between the subfactors of emotional labor and turnover intention. In particular, burnout partially mediated the relationship between emotional disharmony and hurt, organizational surveillance and monitoring, and lack of a supportive and protective system in the organization. In addition, we found that burnout has a significant full mediation effect on the relationship between overload and conflicts in customer service and turnover intention. Although the mediating effect of burnout was significantly associated with the demands and regulation of emotions, no significant effects on turnover intention were found. Conclusion: To reduce nurses' turnover, we recommend developing strategies that target both burnout and emotional labor, given that burnout fully and partially mediated the effects of emotional labor on turnover intention, and emotional labor was directly associated with turnover intention.

Purposes: This research is conducted to identify main features and trends of mission, vision and core values in Korean tertiary general hospitals by using text-mining. Methodology: For the study, 45 mission, 112 vision and 190 core values are collected from 45 tertiary general hospitals' homepages in 2022 and use word frequency analysis and Leyword co-occurrence analysis. Findings: In the tertiary general hospitals' mission, there are high frequency words such as 'health', 'humanity', 'medical treatment', 'education', 'research', 'happiness', 'love', 'best', 'spirit', and mission mainly includes the content of contributing humanity's health and happiness with these words. In case of vision, high frequency words are 'hospital', 'medical treatment', 'research', 'lead', 'trust', 'centered', 'patient', 'best', 'future'. By using these words in vision, it represents the definition and characteristics of vision such as ideal organizations in the future, goals and targets. As a result of the Leyword co-occurrence analysis, vision includes the content of 'high-tech medical treatment', 'special care for patients', 'leading education and research', 'the highest trust with customer', 'creative talents training'. -astly, the high frequency word-pairs in core values are 'social distribution', 'innovation pursuit', 'cooperation and harmony', and it defines standards of behavior for organizations. Practical Implication: To correct the problems of vision, mission and core values from findings, firstly, it needs for Korean tertiary general hospitals to use the words that can explain organization's identity and differentiate others in their mission. Secondly, considering strengthening the role of hospitals in their community and the importance of members in organizations, it is necessary to establish vision with considering community and members to activate vision effectively. Thirdly, because there are no specific guidelines of establishing mission, vision and core values for healthcare organizations, this research concepts and results could be utilized when other organizations establish mission, vision and core values.

치의학계에서는 의료사고를 일으킬만한 중환자나 응급환자의 빈도가 상대적으로 낮아 의료분쟁에 휘말리는 경우가 적었기 때문에, 이에 대하여 비교적 안전지대로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 요즈음은 남의 일로 보아 넘기기에는 어려울 정도로 의료분쟁이 증가하고 있다. 이런 연유로 최근에 이르러서는 비교적 다양한 의료사고와 분쟁에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 적당한 대처를 위하여 관련된 사항을 분석하고 있으나, 자료가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 2004년 현재 서울시치과의사회 소속 개원치과의사 3684명중, 설문지가 회수된 1882명을 연구대상으로 하며, 치과의사를 대상으로 하는 의료배상책임보험이 시행되고 있는 최근의 개원 치과에서 일어나는 의료사고 및 분쟁의 실태와, 일반적인 치과의사들의 의식을 분석하고, 전체적인 흐름을 파악하여 향후대책의 자료를 제시하는 것을 연구목적으로 한 것으로 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 응답자의 98.47%가 향후 의료사고 및 분쟁 발생에 대한 의구심을 가졌다. 2. 응답자의 27.42%가 의료분쟁을 경험하였으며, 전공의 수련여부와 의료분쟁 경험률 사이에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 3. 의료사고 중 치주.보존 관련 사고가 20.50%로 가장 높았으며, 임프란트 관련사고도 6.17%로 나타났다. 4. 응답자의 43.02%만이 치료 전 충분히 설명을 하였으며, 환자의 정확한 동의없이 치료를 시작하는 경우도 25.90%로 나타났다. 5. 설명 및 동의를 시행하지 않아 의료분쟁이 발생한 것은 16.55%이며, 의무기록 관련자료가 부족하여 문제해결에 어려움을 당한 경우는 10.26%로 나타났다. 6. 응급조치를 시행할 수 있다고 생각하는 경우는 49.73%였으며, 이중 정확한 지식을 갖춘 경우는 23.60%로 나타났다. 7. 의료분쟁 발생시 88.09%가 치과의사에게 조언을 구하였으며, 또한 단체로는 구치과의사회에 주로 자문을 구했다. 8. 의료분쟁과 관련하여 소비자보호원으로부터 자료 제출 요구를 받은 경우는 5.26%로 나타났으며, 이들 중 75.61%는 이에 성실히 대응하였다. 9. 의료분쟁을 해결한 후 83.63%는 비교적 안정적인 심리상태를 회복하였다. 10. 응답자의 99.46%가 의료분쟁처리기구가 필요하다고 느꼈으며, 78.58%는 매우 시급하다고 생각하였다. 11. 66.70%의 치과의사가 의료분쟁 경험이 없이도 의료배상책임보험에 가입하였다. 그러나 응답자의 73.36%는 이 상품에 대하여 잘 몰랐으며, 가입자의 93.36%는 분쟁처리과정을 잘 알지 못했다. 12. 79.00%의 응답자가 의료배상책임보험에 가입한 후에는 의료분쟁이 발생하여도 당황스러우나 가입 이전보다는 비교적 안심할 수 있다고 느끼고 있었다. 13. 의료배상책임보험에 의한 분쟁의 해결시 치과의사는 71.92%가 보통이상으로 만족하였으나, 환자는 35.61%만이 만족하였다. 14. 의료배상책임보험의 보완점으로 53.22%가 분쟁의 신속한 해결을 위해서 보험사, 의사, 환자 모두가 합의 유도에 동참해야 한다고 생각하였으며, 또 29.08%의 응답자가 합의과정에서 환자측의 업무방해를 보험사에서 방어해 주기를 바라고 있었다. 이상의 결과들을 볼 때 증가하는 의료분쟁에 대한 인식을 제고하고 이에 대한 교육 및 해결 장치의 보완이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
