  • Purpose: To analyze the proportion of medical institutions meeting the legal standard for nurse staffing. Methods: Data collected from 29,282 institutions between 1996 and 2013 were analyzed. Nurse staffing was measured as daily patient census per registered nurse (RN). The standard for general hospitals, hospitals, and clinics is 2.5 or less, and that for long-term care hospitals is 6.0 or less of the daily patient census per RN. Clinics may substitute nursing assistants for RNs by 50% or 100% depending on their daily inpatient census; long-term care hospitals may substitute nursing assistants for RNs by two thirds of the required number of RNs. Results: The proportion of general hospitals, hospitals, clinics, and long-term care hospitals meeting the standards was 63%, 19%, 63%, and 94%, respectively, in 2013. While general hospitals had an increase in the proportion during the 1996-2013 period, small changes were found in hospitals and clinics. In 2013, nurses were estimated to care for 16 (interquartile range: 12~24) patients per shift in general hospitals. Three quarters of clinics had no RNs in 2013. Conclusion: Many medical institutions did not meet the legally mandated minimum staffing level. The government must implement policy actions for all medical institutions to meet the legal standards.

  • 최근 세계 및 아시아 의료관광 시장이 활성화 되고 있다. 글로벌 의료관광 산업은 최소의 비용으로 보다 높은 수준의 의료서비스도 받으면서 관광도 즐기려는 소비자들이 증가하고 있다. 의료관광을 찾는 소비자들은 자신에게 맞는 맞춤형 서비스를 찾고 있는 성향으로 변화하고 있다. 소비자는 자신에게 맞는 의료서비스와 관광 정보를 제공받고, 병원에서는 외국인 환자 유치와 통역 문제를 해결하고, 통역 관광가이드는 소비자와 병원에 맞춤형 정보를 제공하여 서로에게 필요한 서비스를 매칭 하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 병원, 의료관광을 찾는 사용자, 통역 관광가이드를 매칭 하는 글로벌 클리닉 기반의 O2O(Offline to Online) 매칭 플랫폼을 제안한다. 소비자가 의료서비스와 관광에 대한 경험치를 의료관광에 대한 소비자의 맞춤형 홍보 방법에 대해 제안한다.

  • Objectives: We aimed to examine whether dental waste was being managed adequately at different types of dental institutions in City D in South Korea. Methods: The staff responsible for disinfection at 101 dental offices and clinics (six dentistry departments of general hospitals, 12 dental hospitals, and 83 dental clinics) was interviewed. Results: Solid suction pump waste was handled appropriately at four of the general hospital dentistry departments (66.7%), six dental hospitals (50.0%), and 15 dental clinics (18.1%). Solid spittoon waste was handled appropriately at four general hospital dentistry departments (66.7%), seven dental hospitals (58.3%), and 14 dental clinics (16.9%). Developer and fixer were handled appropriately by a subcontractor at two general hospital dentistry departments (100.0%), five dental hospitals (100.0%), and 24 dental clinics (75.0%). Impression materials were handled appropriately at four general hospital dentistry departments (66.7%), six dental hospitals (50.0%), and 11 dental clinics (13.3%). The plastic covers of intra-oral radiography films were handled appropriately at five general hospital dentistry departments (100.0%), eight dental hospitals (72.7%), and 22 dental clinics (30.1%). Conclusion: South Korea must implement detailed and specialized guidelines for the disposal of solid and general medical waste from dental institutions. Moreover, waste disposal training should be provided annually, and not only once every three years.
