The new medical technology assessment system has a basic goal of protecting the public's health rights and promoting the development of the new medical technology with safe and effective medical technology that has been scientifically proven. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the activation of the new medical technology evaluation system by analyzing the application cases of the dental field after the implementation of the new medical technology evaluation system and proposing an efficient approach to approach the new medical technology evaluation system. The number of related literature and medical technology evaluation results are not significant in dental applications, the number of cases and the length of follow-up period of the relevant medical technology adopted as the new medical technology was far higher. As the speed of medical technology development increases, medical technology is expected to develop in the dental field as well. To introduce the medical technology to the clinical site, access to the correct direction of evidence is required to collect and objectify data at the medical site in order to prepare a literary basis for the medical technology.

Although Korea joined OECD in 1996, there has still seen much unbalance in medical care and welfare standard between urban and rural area. The unbalance of medical demand between urban and rural area deepened low utilization of rural hospitals. So it caused many hospital's failure and conversion in rural area. Many rural hospitals are in difficulty managing business because of low medical demand along with the shortage of medical manpower, medical equipment and facilities. The objectives of this study were to reveal the cause of low utilization of hospitals in rural area, and to increase utilization of those hospitals. In this study the improvement methods of rural hospital's utilization were presented by examining were placed in difficult management condition, in respect of hospital's management conditions, manpower input, patient medical treatment record, financial record, and actual output. The causes of rural hospital's low utilization were as follows; 1) changes in number and structure of population 2) rural people's preference for large hospitals and hospitals which located in urban area 3) rural hospitals lacking in hospital management skill. Consequently rural hospital's operation condition got more and more deteriorated. To raise rural hospital's utilization, method for social policy, method for health policy, and intrinsic method of hospitals were presented in turn. For rural residents to utilize medical service conveniently, it is necessary for rural hospitals operated normally. So government must insist that rural hospitals solve the problems which come out from their internal management problems. And also these rural hospitals should be supported and nurtured by the government until their management is operated normally.

의료기술의 발달로 인하여 인간의 평균 수명은 80세가 아닌 100세까지 늘어나며, 곧 100세 시대가 열릴 것으로 전망되고 있다. 더불어 융합이 핵심인 4차 산업혁명이 현대 사회의 최대 관심사로 떠오르면서 의료기술의 중요성과 함께 서비스에 대한 중요성도 높아지고 있다. 이에 의료기술과 관광의 융합인 의료관광이 발전하면서 유망산업으로 부각되고 있으며 세계 여러 나라들이 의료관광산업을 핵심전략산업 중 하나로 분류하고 적극 육성하고 있는 추세이다. 이에 맞는 경영전략으로 사용자에게 강한 인상을 심어줄 수 있는 콘텐츠, 마케팅 등이 개발되고 제공되고 있으나, 관리 시스템의 경우 기존의 것을 그대로 유지하고 있어 그 한계가 존재한다. 따라서 마케팅, 콘텐츠 등의 사용자 중심의 시스템과 함께 그에 맞는 효율적인 의료관광 관리 시스템이 필요하다.

This study examined the effects of referral requirements for insurance patients which have been enforced since July 1, 1989 when medical insurance coverage was extended to the whole population except beneficiaries of medical assistance program. The requirements are mainly aimed at discouraging the use of tertiary care hospitals by imposing restrictions on the patient's choice of a medical service facility. The expectation is that such change in the pattern of medical care utilization would produce several desirable effects including increased efficiency in patient care and balanced development of various types of medical service facilities. In this study, these effects were assessed by the change in the number of out-patient visits and bed-days per illness episode and the share of each type of facility in the volume of services and the amount of expenditures after the implementation of the new referral system. The data for analysis were obtained from the claims to the insurance for government and school employees. The sample was drawn from the claims for the patients treated during the first six months of 1989, prior to the enforcement of referral requirements, and those of the patients treated during the first six months of 1990, after the enforcement. The 1989 sample included 299,824 claims (3.6% of total) and the 1990 sample included 332,131 (3.7% of total). The data were processed to make the unit of analysis an illness episode instead of an insurance claim. The facilities and types of care utilized for a given illness episode are defined to make up the pathway of medical care utilization. This pathway was conceived of as a Markov Chain process for further analysis. The conclusion emerged from the analysis is that the enforcement of referral requirements resulted in less use of tertiary care hospitals, and thereby decreased the volume of services and the amount of insurance expenses per illness episode. However, there are a few points that have to be taken into account in relation to the conclusion. The new referral system is likely to increase the use of medical services not covered by insurance, so that its impact on national health expenditures would be different from that on insurance expenditures. The extension of insurance coverage must have inereased patient load for all types of medical service organizations, and this increase may be partly responsible for producing the effects attributed to the new referral system. For example, excessive patient load for tertiary care hospitals may lead to the transfer of their patients to other types of facilities. Another point is that the data for this study correspond to very early phase of the new system. But both patients and medical care providers would adapt themselves to the new system to avoid or overcome its disadvantages for them, so as that its effects could change over time. Therefore, it is still necessary to closely monitor the impact of the referral requirements.
