Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate economic viability of public health center visiting nurse services for the low-income elderly with long-term care needs. Method: The sample consisted of 252 community dwelling elderly who enrolled in public health center visiting nurse services for three months or more. Data was collected on physical (ADL and IADL) and cognitive impairments of the elderly, contents and frequency of visiting nurse services, cost per visit, and costs of alternative services for long-term care. Result: The mean score of ADL and IADL levels of the elderly was 2.80.4904, which indicated these patients were mostly independent. Eighty four percent of the elderly subjects were cognitively intact. Among visiting nurse services supplied, providing assessment was 34%, followed by education and counseling 26%, medication 22%, and referral. The mean cost per visit was 17,824.1 won, which transformed into a total cost per person per year of 161,130.2 won. Comparing the cost of a visiting nurse service with those of other long-term care alternatives, the visiting nurse service was the least costly alternative, followed by an outpatient clinic, hospital based home care, and nursing home. Conclusion: Overall, the results of the study provide evidence of the economic viability of visiting nurse services for the low-income elderly among long-term care alternatives.

Purpose: We analyzed the health care and health status of immigrant women married to Koreans in our community. Methods: We recruited 204 women who live in S Cityfrom 1st August to 30th September, 2008. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was done using a questionnaire through interviews and physical assessment by visiting nurses. Results: The average age of the subjects was 29.8 and most of them were housewives. Sixteen percent of them obese as measured by BMI. Moreover, most participants (86%) did not exercise at all. Over 13% complained of physical discomfort that was left untreated, and only 50% participated in cancer screening. Conclusions: Young, obese immigrant women require further health care monitoring. Caregivers also should ask about physical discomfort and cancer screenings. However, caregivers should do so in a culturally sensitive manner. In addition, the government should support cancer detection programs for immigrant women.

Purpose: This study aimed to present Blue Ocean strategies by deriving the strategic elements of a visiting nursing center and conducting a survey on the importance and satisfaction of care clients. Methods: First, a FGI was conducted targeting the head of the visiting nursing center to derive its strategic elements. Subsequently, importance and satisfaction surveys on the derived strategy elements were analyzed, an IPA matrix was derived, and an as-is ERRC Blue Ocean strategy was established. Kano's Three-Factor Theory was used to derive a competitive position matrix and establish a to-be ERRC Blue Ocean strategy. The Blue Ocean Strategy for Visiting Nursing Center Management is presented in this study. Results: Four as raise factors were derived from combining the results of the as-is, to-be ERRC strategy element analysis: retention of competent nurses, education in medication management, maintenance of high customer satisfaction, and prompt handling of customer complaints.

이 연구는 한국형 커뮤니티 케어의 기초가 되는 서울시 찾아가는 동주민센터 방문건강관리 사업을 중심으로, 만성질환 유병상태에 따른 노인 방문건강관리 서비스 만족도 영향요인을 도출하고, 향후 효과적인 커뮤니티 케어 모형 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용되고자 수행되었다. 이 연구는 찾아가는 동주민센터 3단계('17년 7월 ~ '18년 6월) 및 4단계('18년 7월 ~ '19년 6월)에 참여한 만 65세, 만 70세 노인을 모집단으로 하여, 자치구별 비례할당 방식으로 추출한 2,200명(3단계 24개구 1,100명, 4단계 25개구 1,100명)을 대상으로 가구방문 면접 조사를 실시하였다. 이후 불성실 응답 180건을 제외한 2,020명을 최종 분석대상에 포함하였다. 만성질환 유병상태를 기준으로 하위집단을 나누었고, 방문건강관리 서비스 만족도 영향요인을 도출하기 위하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 만성질환이 없는 노인들은 건강교육 및 상담 서비스를, 만성질환을 1개 가지고 있는 단일 만성질환 노인은 지역사회자원 연계서비스를, 만성질환을 2개 이상 가지고 있는 복합 만성질환 노인은 자신의 건강상태평가 및 지역사회자원 연계서비스를 제공받은 경우 서비스 만족도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높아지는 것을 확인하였다. 한편, 만성질환 유병상태와 상관없이 노인이 인식하고 있는 서비스 제공시간은 방문건강관리 서비스 만족도를 높이는 요인이었으며, 설명 이해도는 단일, 복합 만성질환자 모두에게 만족도를 높이는 요인이었다. 지역사회를 중심으로 한 방문건강관리 서비스는 현재 추진되고 있는 커뮤니티 케어의 핵심 요소이므로 향후 커뮤니티 케어의 지속성과 효과성을 증대하기 위하여, 노인의 만성질환 유병상태에 따른 지역사회 중심의 맞춤형 건강관리서비스가 제공되어야 하겠다. 다만, 보다 효과적인 서비스 제공을 위하여, 첫째, 국민건강보험공단이 보유하고 있는 대상자의 건강정보를 지자체로 공유하는 연계시스템 구축과 둘째, 방문건강관리 서비스의 질향상을 위한 방문간호사 역량강화 교육이 병행될 필요가 있다. 이 연구의 결과와 제언이 향후 커뮤니티케어의 성공적 정착을 위한 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.

The aim of this review is to present a German system of an outpatient care center under the German Health Insurance Act and home care (integration of medical care, basic care, bathing) under the Long-Term Care Insurance Act. This idea of a German integrated home care system should contribute to the development of a Korean home care model. Prior the introduction of long-term care insurance (1995), and with the of the health insurance law (1989), German outpatient care centers already provided medical and basic care services for patients with acute and chronic symptoms. Since 1995, patients with acute symptoms and rehabilitation periods under the Health Insurance Act have been eligible for home care. The Long-Term Care Insurance Act is intended for all citizens who are unable to carry out their daily activities for more than six months. In 2017, 13,657 (97%) of 14,050 outpatient care centers provided home care services after long-term care and health insurance. In other words, patients in Germany can use home care in both the acute and chronic phase at the same home care center, or 'integrated home-care center'.
