Purpose: This study focused on analysing costs per home health care nursing visit based on home health care nursing activities in medical institutes. Method: The data was collected in three stages. First, the cost elements of home health care nursing services were collected and 31 home care nurses participated. Second, the workload and caseload of home care nursing activities were measured by the Easley-Storfjell Instrument(1997). Third, the opinions on improving the home health care nursing reimbursement system were collected by a nation-wide mailing survey from a total of 125 home care agencies. Result: The cost of home health care nursing per visit was calculated as 50,626\. This was composed of a basic visiting fee of $35,090{\\}({\fallingdotseq}355$)$ and travel fee of $15,536{\\}({\fallingdotseq}15$)$. The major problems of the home care nursing payment system were the low level of the cost per visit, no distinction between first visit and revisits, and the limitations in health insurance coverage for home health care nursing services. Conclusion: This study's results will contribute as a baseline for establishing policies for improvement of the home health care nursing cost and for applying a community-based visiting nursing service cost.

In this Paper, we present the design of 10Mbps HomePNA(Home Phoneline Networking Alliance) PHY which is Home Network Technology using phone-line. It is connected with external interface through MII(Media Independent Interface) and AFE(Analog Front End) Interface. 10Mbps HomePNA PHY is composed with Management Block IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD MAC(Media Access Control) Block Modulator block and Demodulator block. For their verification, we designed a prototype FPGA PCB board using XPC860T made in Motorola. We verified HomePNA frame data transmission using a driver program based Linux kernel. we verified rate negotiation by HomepNA 2.0 Link Layer Protocol.

The need for a unified data communication for home digital devices and realtime multimedia services in home network has led to recent research on home gateway over the broadcasting and communication convergence network. In this paper, we discuss requirement for such home gateway design and define services that the home gateway provides. Then, we propose a home gateway architecture aimed to efficient multimedia distribution for heterogeneous devices in the home network. The proposed home gateway has a role of protocol gateway, media server, and media trans-coder. Finally, we show the feasibility of the proposed home gateway in several multimedia distribution scenario.
