Since the establishment of health centers in the 1960s, the centers have been played an important role in providing basic health care for the people. Although the health centers made a great effect to prevent diseases and promote the health status of the people for the last three decades, the function of health centers should be strengthened to meet the health care need of individual, family and community. Over the last ten years, there have been great changes and developments in health related environments, such as population size and age, rapid urbanization, up-grading of the educational level, increase of income, health care demand for promotive health care measures and practical measures for chronic diseases and also practicing healthy life. According to the great changes in health related environments, the health centers should be reformed. The following policy options are recommended as a summary; First, the function of health centers should be converted from providing basic health services into promotive and preventive health care services, to meet changing needs of people. Second, the health center personnel should be reinforced for their competency to provide a qualitative services to people and also the operation of health center should be reactivated. Third, a close linkage of health centers with the private sector is an essential requirement for the operation of the health care delivery system within a health district in order to improve the health status of people. Fourth, type of manpower mix, scope of organization and health care program should be varied, based on the health care needs of people, geographical characteristics and size of population etc. Fifth, a comprehensive health care delivery system should be developed, for maintaining healthy life style of people and also the health and welfare services should be integrated in order n ensure an effective service.

"Personalized medicine," the goal of which is to provide better clinical care by applying patient's own genomic information to their health care is a global challenge for the $21^{st}$ century "genomic era." This is especially true in Korea, where provisions for clinical genetic services are inadequate for the existing demand, let alone future demands. Genomics-based knowledge and tools make it possible to approach each patient as a unique biological individual, which has led to a paradigm-shift in medical practice, giving it more of a predictive focus as compared with current treatment oriented approach. With recent advancements in genomics, many genetic tests, such as susceptibility genetic tests, have been developed for both rare single gene diseases and more common multifactorial diseases. Indeed, genetic tests for presymtomatic individuals and genetic tests for drug response have become widely available, and personalized medicine will face the challenge of assisting patients who use such tests to make appropriate and wise use of genetic risk assessment. A major challenge of genomic medicine lies in understanding and communicating disease risk in order to facilitate and support patients and their families in making informed decisions. Establishment of a health care system with provisions for genetic counseling as an integral part of health care service, in addition to genomic literacy of health care providers, is vital to meet this growing challenge. Realization of the promise of personalized medicine in the era of genomics for improvement of health care is dependent on further development of next generation sequencing technology and affordable sequencing test costs. Also necessary will be policy development concerning the ethical, legal and social issues of genomic medicine and an educated and ready medical community with clinical practice guidelines for genetic counseling and genetic testing.

Objectives: Access to maternal and neonatal care services (MNCS) is an important goal of health policy in developing countries. In this study, we proposed a 3-level hierarchical location-allocation model to maximize the coverage of MNCS providers in Iran. Methods: First, the necessary criteria for designing an MNCS network were explored. Birth data, including gestational age and birth weight, were collected from the data bank of the Iranian Maternal and Neonatal Network national registry based on 3 service levels (I, II, and III). Vehicular travel times between the points of demand and MNCS providers were considered. Alternative MNCS were mapped in some cities to reduce access difficulties. Results: It was found that 130, 121, and 86 MNCS providers were needed to respond to level I, II, and III demands, respectively, in 373 cities. Service level III was not available in 39 cities within the determined travel time, which led to an increased average travel time of 173 minutes to the nearest MNCS provider. Conclusions: This study revealed inequalities in the distribution of MNCS providers. Management of the distribution of MNCS providers can be used to enhance spatial access to health services and reduce the risk of neonatal mortality and morbidity. This method may provide a sustainable healthcare solution at the policy and decision-making level for regional, or even universal, healthcare networks.

PHR(Personal Health Record)은 평생건강관리를 지원하기 위해 소비자에게 자신의 진료정보를 언제 어디서나 열람할 수 있고 건강정보를 직접 입력 및 관리할 수 있도록 도와주는 서비스로 정의할 수 있다. 이러한 PHR 서비스를 효율적으로 제공하기 위해서는 PHR 시스템과 보건의료 관련 정보시스템이 통합 및 연계될 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 현재의 보건의료분야 정보시스템은 늘어나는 보건의료 수요 충족을 위해 다양한 시스템을 구축 운영하고 있으며, 그에 따른 정보화예산은 지속적으로 증가 추세에 있지만, 현재의 시스템은 다양한 시스템 간의 상호 연관성이 있음에도 통합 및 연계가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 한계를 극복하기 위한 대안으로 웹 서비스 기반의 보건의료분야 통합정보시스템을 제안한다. 웹에서 서비스 통합을 추구하는 주요한 수단으로 서비스 지향 구조(Service Oriented Architecture : SOA)를 들 수 있다. 이는 기존에 구축되어 있는 시스템을 크게 변형하지 않으면서도 새로운 요구사항들을 추가할 수 있도록 허용함으로써 빠르게 변화하는 보건의료분야 환경에 최대한 신속히 적응 할 수 있도록 하는 매우 중요한 모델이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PHR 서비스를 위한 플랫폼으로써 SOA를 기반으로 하는 보건의료분야 통합정보시스템을 설계하고 이를 구현함으로써, 웹 서비스 기반이 PHR 서비스를 위한 새로운 통합정보시스템 구축의 적합한 모델임을 입증한다.
