한국은 2000년에 고령화 사회에 진입하여 노인인구증가에 따른 노동생산성 정하, 삶의 질 추구, 장애인 증가로 인한 사회 문제가 증가되고 있다. 그러나 정보통신기술의 발달로 고령자들의 이동뿐만 아니라 실내외 생활에 편의를 도모할 수 있게 되었다. 대표적인 서비스로 u-City를 들 수 있으나 국가 계획상에는 아직 구체적인 내용이 없는 상태 또는 부족한 실정이다. 서울시를 대상으로 고령자의 생활 복지를 담당하는 각 구청과 응급상황 처리를 담당하는 소방방재청의 고령자 지원 서비스를 조사한 결과 고령자의 기기에 대한 두려움, 통합서비스부족, 일부 상황에서만 제공되는 서비스 등의 문제점 및 요구사항을 파악하였다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 응급상황이 발생해야 제공되던 서비스를 탈피하여 생활 전반에 걸친 검지-확인-조치-대응의 4단계 순환관리 서비스를 제시하였다. 또한 관리체계 및 통신체계를 제시하므로 향후 국가계획 및 시스템 구축 시 참조모델로 활용할 수 있다.

The purposes of this study which was conducted by studying the literature on Emergency Medical Dispatch System are to provide some developmental policies of quality management, pre-arrival instructions, priority dispatch protocols, training program for the dispatchers(Emergency Medical Dispatchers or EMDs) in Korea and to promote understanding emergency medical dispatching. The conclusions from this summarized as follows; (1) It is confirmed that there has been little study on the Emergency Medical Dispatch System in Korea, because for the first time, the real Emergency Medical Services were introduced into Korea in 1994, and the importance of the Emergency Medical Dispatch System has not been realized. (2) Only some squads are using a set of dispatch protocols, others aren't. (3) In spite of trying to introduce a new set of dispatch protocols, it isn't the priority dispatch system using a complete set of dispatch protocols which has key questions, pre-arrival instructions, mode & configuration based on patient assessment. (4) The EMS is unable to promote the service capacity by using quality management, because there is no medical control on the emergency medical dispatching and the EMDs. (5) There are no medical directors in the communications center who are in charge of the medical control to detect problems derived from the EMS and to solve them. (6) There are no systematic training program for the EMDs who are taking charge of dispatching. (7) Having a deep relation to the elements of the EMS, the emergency medical dispatching is subject to restriction of those elements.
