  • 본 연구는 치과위생사의 의료기사법의 인식도를 파악하기 위해 서울, 경기, 인천 소재의 치과위생사를 대상으로 연구를 실시하였으며 연구결과는 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 본 설문대상자 중 32.8%는 의료기사법 개정에 대해 안다고 하였다. 대상자 중 64.1%는 개정된 의료기사법에 대해 임상에서 일하는 것이 역할분담측면에서 비효율적이라고 하였다. 대상자 중 67.2%는 개정된 의료기사법에 대해서 모른다고 하였고, 그 이유는 홍보부족이 가장 높았다. 치과위생사는 현재 치과에서 치과위생사 외 간호조무사, 치과기공사와의 직무분담이 명확하지 않다고 생각하는 응답이 많았다(75.9%). 그 이유는 업무분장의 중요성에 대한 치과의사의 인식부족(40.0%)이 가장 높게 나타났다. 의료법에 관련 세미나를 참석한 적은 없으나(88.6%) 의료법에 관한 세미나를 개최한다면 들으러 가고 싶다(59.8%)는 비율은 높았다. 치과위생사의 의료인화에 대해서는 대부분 찬성하였다(77.0%). 본 연구는 치과위생사의 의료기사법의 인식도와 문제점을 파악하여 현재 대한치과위생사협회가 추진하고 있는 의료인화 와 의료기사법 개정의 근거자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • It is not the best way to treat a hopeless patient with life-sustaining medical devices until the heart beats stop. Advanced medical technology may prolong the life for a significant period without recovery from the disease. However, it would give an unbearable economic burden to the family and the society. In 2006, we decided not to operate 9 patients with traumatic intracranial hematomas. We examined those patients with special references to possible legal and ethical problems. It is reasonable to withhold a treatment after documentation that the family never wants any life sustaining treatment when the treatment does not guarantee the meaningful life.

  • If the medical staff privileges, which mean the eligibility to practice at open hospitals, are excluded in the United States, antitrust claims based on the violation of the Sherman Act have been raised a lot. The proliferation of these lawsuits in the United States, which are characterized as antitrust lawsuits, can be understandable situation. The reason is because doctors who don't belong to specific hospitals are seriously damaged, if the medical staff privileges are excluded and doctors cannot use facilities of open hospitals. In order to decide to allow the privileges of certain doctors, hospitals have to rely on peer review to maintain high quality of medical services, and it is not easy to find alternative of peer review in the professional areas like healthcare. However, there are possibilities that members of the peer review can abuse power to unfairly exclude privileges of potential competitors. In this sense, it is asserted in the U.S. antitrust lawsuits that the restraint of medical staff privilege can be the illegal restraint of trade in violation of section 1 of Sherman Act and can be monopolization or an attempt to monopoly by hospitals in violation of section 2 of Sherman Act. As Korea adopted open hospital system quite recently, there is still no case related with the exclusion of medical staff privileges. However, medical staff privilege system of Korea is not different from that of the United States in principle. Thus, the U.S. jurisprudence on the exclusion of medical staff privileges can be referred in the interpretation of "practice that interferes with or restricts the activities or contents of the business" based on Article 19.1.9 of Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Law of Korea.

  • This study attempted to explore the realization and research direction of a successful metaverse environment in the future by analyzing international research trends of the metaverse using topic modeling. A total of 208 papers among WoS and ScienceDirect papers using metaverse as keywords were selected, and quantitative frequency analysis and topic modeling were performed. As a result, it was confirmed that research has rapidly increased after 2022. The main keywords of the research topics were 'second', 'life', 'learning', 'reality', 'metaverse', 'virtual', 'blockchain', 'nft', 'medical', 'avatar', etc. The topic keywords 'Second life & Education' and 'Virtual Reality & Medical' accounted for a large proportion of 57%, followed by 'Blockchain & Cryptocurrency', 'Avatar & Interaction', and 'Sensing and Device'. As a result of semantic analysis, current metaverse research is focused on application and utilization, and research on underlying technologies and devices is also active. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the commonalities and differences between domestic and foreign studies, and to study the application method considering the domestic environment. In addition, new jurisprudence research is more necessary along with predicting new problems. It is expected that the results of study will provide the right research direction for domestic researchers in the era of digital transformation and contribute to the realization of a digital society.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to identify the characteristics of patient safety incidents (PSIs) related to nursing and to provide primary data for preventing the recurrence of similar incidents. Methods: This secondary analysis study included damage claims rulings filed for clinical negligence from 2014 to 2018 that contained the keyword 'nurse'. It excluded judgments irrelevant to nursing care and in which clinical negligence or causal damages were overruled. A total of 93 cases were analyzed. The characteristics of PSIs were derived through descriptive statistics, and two instances of nursing-related PSIs were examined by qualitative content analysis focusing on root causes. Results: The analysis of PSIs related to nursing suggested that the medical institutions where the PSIs occurred most frequently were hospitals, and the most common types of PSIs were medication, surgery, and treatment/procedure, in that order. In addition, it indicated that nursing-related PSIs occurred most frequently in general wards during the day shift, with the most common related nursing practice being managing potential risk factors. The qualitative analysis showed that careless monitoring and institutional inertia were causes of PSIs. Conclusion: To prevent nursing-related PSIs, nurses need to individually monitor and assess patient conditions. In addition, support should be accompanied by the improvement in the systems in place aimed at preventing the recurrence of nursing-related PSIs at the institutional and national level, such as securing appropriate nursing personnel and improving labor conditions.

  • As a withdrawing care's study, the purpose of this study is searching about withdrawing care's acceptance and circumstances through Bora-mae hospital case(chapter 1). Withdrawing life-sustaining treatment has various forms. Though the meaning of euthanasia, death with dignity, natural death, physician assisted suicide are duplicated, the meaning of those are different slightly. Firstly, this study looks about the difference of the those meaning and acceptance range(condition) by withdrawing care's forms(chapter 2). Bora-mae hospital case sentenced guilty about physician who discharged incompetent patient who was after surgery by patient's wife determination. This Bora-mae case that sentenced guilty about discharge against medical advise(DAMA) that is regarded to custom has brought intensive confliction of legal, social, medical aspect, Bora-mae hospital case has many legal problems. First, as to criminal law rule 250(murder), the problem is whether discharge and withdrawing life-sustaining treatment is commission or omission. this study concluded omission(district court: omission, appeal, supreme court: commission). Because legal denounce point of discharge and medical treatment withdrawing is omission that physician who is obligatory on patient to cure. If physician's act is regarded omission, it is necessary to determine whether he has guardian status and obligation. Without guardian status and obligation, omission crime can't exist. This study decided that physician had guardian status and obligation and foundation of guardian status was pre-action or acceptance of emergency patient. Physician's medical treatment duty finished when patient(or patient's guardian) demands discharge. But when patient death is foreseen and other possible treatment does not exist, his duty of life prolonging treatment does not finish. This originate from physician's social responsibility and public status that limits patient's private liberty. This study regarded physician's action as accomplice about whether physician's discharging action is accomplice or the principal offender(district court: the principal offender, appeal, supreme court: accomplice). Though the principal offender needs criminal determination and action, there is no this common determination and functional action control of physician in Bora-mae case(chapter 3). Bora-mae hospital case partly originated from deficiency of legal, institutive system including medical security system shortage, the instruction is 1. medical security system strengthening, 2. hospital ethical committee's activity strengthening, 3. institutionalization of withdrawing life-sustaining treatment, 4. acceptance of pre-decision making system, 5. sufficient persuasion of physician for patient and faithful writing of medical paper, 6. respect for patients' self-determination and rights, 7. consciousness's changing for withdrawing life-sustaining treatment and persistent education about medical ethics(chapter 4). Considering Bora-mae case, medical sector is not the dead ground of a criminal punishment. Intervention of criminal law in medical sector give rise to ill effect, that is, excess medical examination and treatment, safeguard treatment, delay of discharge from a hospital. Because sufficient guarantee of life becomes mere empty slogan under situation that impose a burden of heavy cost to family or hospital, public and systematic solution should be given(chapter 5).

  • 2018년 주요 판결 중에는 법리적으로 새로운 판결을 발견하기 어려운데, 이는 어느 정도 법리가 확립되었고, 손해배상이라는 틀 안에서 주로 사실관계에 대한 다툼에 집중하기 때문인 것으로 이해된다. 과실판단이 심급끼리 상반된 사례들은 그 사유와 법리를 이해하는데 도움이 되었으며 갈수록 의료소송에서 다툼이 치열해짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 책임제한을 하지 않은 판결들과 의무기록기재 관련 판결 등도 눈에 띄었는데, 특히 의무기록 기재 관련 판결들이 상당히 증가한 것으로 보인다. 이는 당사자들이 의무기록 관련 의문을 제기하는 사건들이 늘어나는 현상의 일환으로 생각되고 이번 기회에 몇 개판례를 분류하여 소개하였다. 장기입원환자의 퇴거 및 진료비 청구 사례는 의료과실로 인한 후유증 치료에 소요된 진료비는 환자에게 청구할 수 없다는 취지의 대법원의 판결 이후 퇴원 거부와 장기입원을 하는 환자들이 늘어가는 현실에서 법리적으로 관심이 가는 판결이어서 소개하였다.

  • Background In an increasing number of lawsuits doctors lose, despite providing preoperative patient education, because of failure to prove informed consent. We analyzed judicial precedents associated with insufficient informed consent to identify judicial factors and trends related to aesthetic surgery medical litigation. Methods We collected data from civil trials between 1995 and 2015 that were related to aesthetic surgery and resulted in findings of insufficient informed consent. Based on these data, we analyzed the lawsuits, including the distribution of surgeries, dissatisfactions, litigation expenses, and relationship to informed consent. Results Cases were found involving the following types of surgery: facial rejuvenation (38 cases), facial contouring surgery (27 cases), mammoplasty (16 cases), blepharoplasty (29 cases), rhinoplasty (21 cases), body-contouring surgery (15 cases), and breast reconstruction (2 cases). Common reasons for postoperative dissatisfaction were deformities (22%), scars (17%), asymmetry (14%), and infections (6%). Most of the malpractice lawsuits occurred in Seoul (population 10 million people; 54% of total plastic surgeons) and in primary-level local clinics (113 cases, 82.5%). In cases in which only invalid informed consent was recognized, the average amount of consolation money was KRW 9,107,143 (USD 8438). In cases in which both violation of non-malfeasance and invalid informed consent were recognized, the average amount of consolation money was KRW 12,741,857 (USD 11,806), corresponding to 38.6% of the amount of the judgment. Conclusions Surgeons should pay special attention to obtaining informed consent, because it is a double-edged sword; it has clinical purposes for doctors and patients but may also be a litigation strategy for lawyers.

  • 과학기술의 발전과 더불어 보건의료분야는 괄목할 성장을 가져왔고 국민생활 수준의 향상과 건강에 대한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 의료서비스의 수요가 급증하고 있다. 이 과정에서 국민의 권리의식의 신장, 의료행위의 본질에 대한 이해부족, 의료기술에 대한 지나친 기대, 상업화된 의료공급체계, 의사의 윤리의식 저하 및 의료법리에 대한 무지 그리고 사회적 불신풍조의 만연, 분쟁해결을 위한 제도적 장치의 결여 등이 요인으로 작용하여 의료사고 및 분쟁이 급증하는 추세이다. 본 연구는 치과관련 단체에서 보유하고 있는 소송과 관련된 자료 및 연세대학교 치과대학병원 구강내과에서 신체감정을 시행한 재판기록을 중심으로 하여 판결전문을 확보할 수 있는 치과 의료사고 판례 중 1994년부터 2004년까지의 민사소송 30례의 판례를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 소송의 연도별 분포에서 2000년 이후 급증하는 추세를 보였다. 2. 소송의 유형별 분포에서 발치와 관련된 소송이 전체의 36.7% 이었다. 3. 소송의 원인을 분석한 결과 불편감, 치료불만족과 관련된 것이 전체의 36.7%, 사망 및 영구손상이 각각 16.7% 이었다. 4. 원고의 소송결과 승소 및 강제조정, 화해권고결정이 60.0% 이었다. 5. 소송에 관련된 병원유형은 치과의원이 60.0%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 6. 소송의 심급별 구성비율에서 2,3심 이상 진행된 경우가 전체의 30.0% 이었다. 7. 손해배상 청구금액은 5천만원 이상 1억원 미만이 36.7%, 1억원 이상이 13.3% 이었고 손해배상 판결금액은 1천만원 이상 3천만원 미만이 40.0%, 1억원 이상이 6.7% 이었다. 8. 소송과 관련된 치과의사수는 2명 이상이 26.7%이었다. 9. 판결까지의 소요기간은 11개월에서 20개월이 46.7%, 21개월에서 30개월이 36.7% 이었다. 10. 의료과실 유무에서는 과실을 판정한 경우가 46.7% 이었고 소송과정에서 신체감정이나 사실조회가 이루어진 경우는 70.0% 이었다. 11. 의사패소 판례(18건)에서 판결의 주안점은 주의의무위반이 72.2% 이었고, 설명의무위반이 16.7% 이었다. 치과 의료분쟁의 경우 치료의 긴급성이 상대적으로 적어 의사의 설명의무 중요성이 폭넓게 요구되며, 주관적인 치료 만족도가 중요시되는 분야이기 때문에 결국 분쟁을 줄이는 방법으로 기술적인 과실도 줄여야 하지만 치과의사와 환자와의 신뢰 관계를 개선하는 것과 의사집단의 자율성(autonomy)의 회복이 중요하다. 그리고 불합리하게 시행되고 있는 의료배상책임보험의 보완과 함께 치과의사단체와 학계가 주도하는 교육 및 의료분쟁시 자문을 구할 수 있는 체계의 확립으로 의료분쟁에 대한 대처가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
