Domestic hospital architectures were developed with the nation's industrialization after 1960s. Particularly, with the rapidly growing healthcare demands according to The National Health Insurance Plan which was introduced in 1977 and expanded to entire nation in 1989, the number of healthcare facility is also increasing according to the expansion of the existing facilities and construction of new buildings. Now, twenty to thirty years were past since that growing period of healthcare architecture. Many hospitals are facing on the phase of restructuring and modernization for their resources. J university hospital is a representative case of hospital development which the growth of facility was stopped by insufficient site area. This study, analysing its past statistics and drawing data of that hospital, presents the characteristics of the changes and basic data of the master planning for the future hospital development.

Space transformation of hospital architecture happens more rapidly than other types such as school and office buildings. This requirement is caused by medical demand, service transformation, technical development and equipment changes. Grand scale extension and rapid change in hospital architecture affects whole planning; therefore, it is important to design in the macro perspective such like Life Cycle. Grand scale extension is difficult process to rebuild growth and transfer of hospital architecture and to adapt to the future change. That's why simple planning gives limits to some departments in a short-term and brings another reform such as more extension or interior renovation in a long-term. This study surveys various space transformation and grand scale extension of EB hospital extended recently, and it is to find planning condition in extension.

Purpose: The planning and design of hospital generally requires the participation and consultation of skilled experts since it has more complex space program than any other buildings. Therefore, the BIM systems for the planning of hospital have been tried continuously. The purpose of this study is to identify the precondition for space Program validation of healthcare architecture based on BIM, which is recently receiving wide attention. Method: For this study, United States, Australia and Finland's guidelines were analyzed among the description space program validation system in 14 overseas BIM Guidelines. And the propose precondition that can be applied to healthcare architecture from among these description of space program validation items, target, process etc for General building. Result: 1) spatial program validation is the following four evaluation phase. Step 1: Standard setting phase Step 2: BIM model accuracy assessment phase Step 3: space validation phase Step 4: Performance evaluation phase 2) The standards for the building elements at Standards Setting stage is considered to the standards for the architectural elements of General building. 3) Healthcare Architecture Area calculation method is considered to be reasonable that borrowing the area calculation standard of general architecture according to the UIA of international standards. However, Be proposed of measuring method that reflect the efficiency of the design process step-by-step area calculation method. The performance assessment indicators of reflect the Hospital uniqueness have to developed. And the research needs to be carried out continuously according to the purpose for healthcare architecture of feature-oriented. Implications: In this paper like to understanding that precondition of space program validation considering the BIM. As a result, understanding to condition about step of the evaluation, the evaluation standards. Is expected to keep the focus on the development of performance indicators that reflect the uniqueness of the hospital for the efficient evaluation of the Hospital building.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find the relationship between Michell Foucault's the primary, secondary, and tertiary spatialization of disease and spatial composition for the development of architectural planning of the healthcare architecture. Methods: Literature review of spatialization of disease and comparison between medical and dental disease have been conducted. The synchronic structure and diachronic change of spatialization process have been analyzed through spatial composition and history of Seoul National University, School of Dentistry and Dental Hospital. Results: The result of this study can be summed up in three points. First of all, spatialization of dental disease is similar to that of medicine but it should be more focused on the tertiary spatialization. The second one is that the process of spatialization of dental disease started the secondary spatialization first and the primary spatialization followed after a short interval and spatial composition has been followed the process of spatialization of dental disease in Korea. The third one is that the tertiary spatialization has not been actively gone along until recently and it has to be developed in near future. Implications: It is necessary to analyze spatialization of dental disease in other dental facilities to develop the relationship between spatial composition and program in healthcare system.

The purpose of this study is to trace the historical background and to describe the architectural issues of the healthcare facilities in 1876~1945 years. Between 1876~1895 yr, the first western hospital "Jejung-Won" was built in Seoul by the Korean Gov. with the help of the American Missionary Dr. Allen. The special clinic for curing smallpox, Udu-Kuk was built nationally and the hospitals for infection disease were built in the same periods. In the next stage 1896~1905, 1905~1910 yr, there were many type of facilities such as military hospital, oriental medicine hospital, public hospital for poor people, clinic or hospital for Mission. After being conquered by Japan in 1910~1945, the Japan Healthcare System was directly transferred into Korean system and the healthcare facilities was built by japanese architect. At that time, the Japan healthcare system had been constructed after following the modern European healthcare system. Most healthcare facilities in the age of Japanese imperialist was handed over to the Korean Government in 1950~1960 yr after world war II.

This study proposes the actualization of a standard data model for activities through the development of clinical document architecture for medication administration using the health level 7 development frameworks(HDF) process based on object oriented analysis and development method of health level 7 V 3. Medication administration is the most common activity performed by clinical professionals at healthcare settings. A standardized information model and structured hospital information system are necessary to achieve evidence-based clinical activities. We had used HDF and various tools(Rose tree, RMIM designer, V3 generator) to create the clinical document architecture(CDA). This allowed us to illustrate each step of the HDF in the administration of medication. This study generated a information model of the medication administration process, which is one clinical activity. It should become a fundamental conceptual model for understanding international standard methodology by information technology(IT) developers with the objective of modeling healthcare information systems.

As ubiquitous computing technologies have advanced rapidly, context awareness technology has been used in the medical part in order to improve patient safety. Nevertheless, as there is no method for managing context awareness information effectively and managing healthcare processes for handling abnormal situations systematically, it is highly required to enhance patient safety in hospital. We propose an innovative system to solve these problems. The proposed system has three main functionalities. Firstly, it enables all situations to be recognized in medical organizations. Secondly, it extracts the meaningful data from data flood by defining data patterns of recognized situations and designing a rule-based system. Lastly, it can manage patients' abnormal situations in process-centric way by integrating the business process management system. It is expected that the proposed system contributes to the improvement of patient safety in u-hospital.

To improve the quality of healthcare and build up the health delivery system, electronic health record system is important for healthcare institutions providing health services. However, the systems currently operated in domestic healthcare institutions use independent software interface with distributed environment for data search and process. Therefore, it raises an additional expense to buy or develop each interface module when there is a link to new system and the problem of complexity. To solve these problems, this study implemented the service oriented architecture basis for home nursing service and carried out an assessment. The study defined the process modeling and business requirements based on the scenario of service and drew 17 suitable services based on five verification items for service design. To draw the final service, seven services were selected by service litmus test (SLT). The study found that, by the improvement of business process for healthcare service support department, SOA based information system has an effect of time reduction of patient processing time. In conclusion, to enable the hospital information system to cope with various demands of healthcare consumers, it is necessary to consider the application of SOA technology which has excellent interoperability, reusability and maintenance.
