  • On December 31, 2018, an incident occurred where a doctor was attacked and killed by a patient carrying a lethal weapon in the outpatients' clinic of the psychiatric department of a tertiary general hospital. The suspect was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder (manic depressive disorder) and has been hospitalized and cared for in the psychiatric ward of this hospital. This incident illustrates the necessity of more active cures and therapeutic intervention for mental patients with intellectual developmental disorders who require treatment considering the fact that a radical outcome has been caused by such a patient. However, on the other hand, there is also a need for an approach and analysis from the perspective of crime prevention for all medical departments. The reason for this is that even a tertiary general hospital equipped with the largest human resources, medical devices, facilities, and so forth, is susceptible to violence. As for illegal actions perpetrated against health and medical service personnel in medical institutions, such as verbal abuse, assault, injury, etc. there have neither been understanding shown for the current extent of damage in detail, nor discussions of active institutional improvement related to the seriousness of the act. It can be said that violence in the field of medical treatment is a realm requiring serious discussion and appropriate remedial actions. This is because when such incidents take place, if a patient who is supposed to get treatment from the damaged health care provider is in an urgent situation or on the waiting list of serious cases, he or she could suffer serious damage caused by deprivation of treatment opportunity, or secondary damage might be caused to the patient and/or a guardian who can hardly have an opportunity to take action. Accordingly, in this review, we would like to help create the necessary conditions for both health and medical service personnel and patients/guardians, respectively, to provide and receive medical treatment in a more secure environment. Therefore, objective assessment of the institution and issues relating to this aforementioned incident and general cases of violence occurring in medical institutions, and by suggesting legal and institutional improvements and solutions.

  • Hospice palliative care refers to holistic care provided by an interdisciplinary team aimed at improving the quality of life of patients suffering from life-threatening diseases and their families. Among interdisciplinary team members, hospice advanced practice nurses (APNs) trained as master's-level advanced nursing professionals are leaders who play an important role in providing patient-centered care and improving the quality of services. The Medical Service Act revised in 2018 requires the scope of practice of APNs in each field to be specified in the Ordinance of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Accordingly, discussions on the role and scope of practice of hospice APNs are actively underway. In this review, the curriculum of hospice APNs, their work responsibilities and roles, and their current status are reviewed, and the future direction of the hospice APN system is also discussed.

  • 인간게놈프로젝트의 시작과 함께 그 사회적 부작용의 하나로 거론되었던 '유전정보 차별'의 문제가 아직 우리나라에서 크게 부각된 적은 없다. 그러나 2016년 6월 30일부터 시행된 "생명윤리 및 안전에 관한 법률"이 의료기관이 아닌 유전자검사기관의 유전자검사를 예외적으로 허용하자, 국내의 한 보험회사가 신규 암보험 가입자를 대상으로 DTC 유전자 검사를 별도의 무료 서비스로 제공하겠다고 하여 유전자 검사와 관련된 사회적 변화를 실감케 한 바 있다. 정밀의료가 의료의 새로운 표준으로 성큼 다가온 현 시점에서 유전정보 차별에 관한 규율은 더 이상 미룰 수 없는 문제가 되었다. 우리나라는 생명윤리법 제46조, 제67조에서 유전정보를 이유로 한 차별의 금지와 그 위반행위에 대한 벌칙을 규정하고 있지만, 이러한 광범위한 원칙 규정만으로는 보험, 고용 등 구체적인 유전정보 활용 영역에서의 문제점들을 충분히 해결할 수 없다. 미국, 캐나다, 영국, 독일은 상이한 방식으로 유전정보 차별의 문제를 다루고 있다. 미국의 "Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act"의 경우, 건강보험과 관련된 부분은 기존의 법에 유전정보 차별금지에 관한 내용을 추가하는 형식을 취하고 있다. 또 개인과 그 가족의 유전자 검사 결과 외에 '가족력'까지 포함하여 유전정보의 범위를 매우 넓게 규정하고 있다. 캐나다는 2017년 비교적 최근에 법을 제정하였는데, 보험과 고용 외에 '상품이나 서비스의 거래'에까지 적용범위를 확장하고 있다. 영국은 유전자 검사 중 '개인의 예측적 유전자 검사'에 대해서만 다루고 있는데, 보험의 경우 영국정부와 보험협회의 '협약'을 통해 유전정보의 활용을 2019년까지 유예하는 방식으로 규율하고 있고, 고용의 영역은 ICO가 만든 'Employment Practices Code(2011)'가 기준으로 활용되고 있다. 독일은 유전자 검사에 관한 법 "Gesetz ${\ddot{u}}ber$ genetische Untersuchungen bei Menschen"에서 고용과 보험에서의 유전자 검사 및 그 결과 제출 요구의 원칙적 금지를 규정하고 있다. 이와 같이 각 나라마다 규율형식, 적용범위 뿐만 아니라 규율의 실효성에 대한 평가도 매우 상이하다. 이러한 점에 비추어 보았을 때 우리나라의 유전정보 차별에 관한 규제 역시 관련 규정의 검토, 전문가 집단의 참여 및 이해관계자의 협력을 통해 여러 규제안의 장 단점을 충분히 검증한 후 입법의 단계로 나아가는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

  • With these changes in the environment of dental service, dental hygienists are suggested to change their roles to cope with the changes. Hygienists are putting forth many efforts to promote smooth and efficient dental treatments, and as a practical measure. As a part to cope with such changes. Korea Dental Hygienists Association(KDHA) has prepared the system of Specialized Dental Hygienist and put the system into enforcement through an affiliated organization, Korean Academy of Dental Hygiene. The purpose of this study is to investigate the specialized nurse system in our country's medical environment and the specialized dental hygienist systems in other countries as similar cases comparable to the specialized dental hygienist system in our country and present basic data for the establishment of specialized dental hygienist system. For this study, a survey of dental specialists, such as dentists, dental hygienists and nurses, and patients, has been conducted qualitatively through person-to-person depth interview. The interview questions were related to the need for a specialized dental hygienist system, educational programs, functions and roles, and issues that must be solved for establishment of the system. Based on the interview results, the following conclusions were derived. The specialized dental hygienist system must encourage dental hygienists to possess advanced abilities in clinical practices, present systematic and developmental directions in educational programs, and stimulate specialized dental hygienists to actively work as manager and supervisor, medical health service providers, educators, and researchers. Lastly, for issues that must be solved for the establishment of the system, the duties and jobs of specialized dental hygienists must be defined more concretely, which must be acknowledged by people working in related occupations, citizens and the government. Furthermore, we need to examine the scope of duties of dental hygienists and enact laws and systems to protect the scope. These roles will lead dental hygienists to lay the foundation that allow them to make enthusiastic activities as an oral hygienist and clinician as well as show the way how to act as an educator, a researcher, a manager and an administrator.

  • 응급실은 병원으로 입원하는 주요 경로로서, 감염환자의 1차적 내원의 가능성이 높은 곳이다. 국내에서 질병관리본부가 2009년에 제정한 "응급실에서의 감염관리 표준지침"이 응급실 감염환자 관리 방안과 표준시설기준을 규정하고 있으나 각 병원 응급실의 감염환자 시설은 병원마다 차이가 있고 지침에 따른 일관된 감염환자 관리시설을 갖추었다고 보기 어렵다. 본 연구는 응급실에서의 감염관리 표준지침의 실효성을 알아보기 위해 법적 강제성을 갖는 "응급의료에 관한 법률"과 비교하여, 첫째 지침이 법률 시설기준에 반영된 여부를 분석하였고, 둘째 2009년 전후에 신축 또는 개축한 응급실들을 분석대상으로 하여 각 시설기준 항목들의 반영여부를 파악하였다. 그 결과 지침과 법률 시설기준의 상호연관성은 없었다. 분석대상 응급실들의 시설은 법적기준을 모두 충족한 반면 지침의 감염관리시설은 선별적으로 적용되어 있었고, 설치 항목들이 건축년도에 관계없이 분석대상 응급실에 대부분 적용되어 "응급실에서의 감염관리 표준지침"의 제정과는 무관한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 응급실의 감염관리시설의 법적기준 체계 보완에 참고자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Because Korea has the excellent informational technology, it was expected to be able to improve the accessibility to healthcare and compete with other nations in excellence through u-Healthcare. But we can't complete the excellent u-Healthcare because of the law to be able to use only the tele-counselling between doctor to doctor or doctor to nurse. First of all, we must complete the law to be able to use the improved u-Health containing of telemedicine between doctor to patient. Though other factors, the procurement of safe IT, the credibility to healthcare service provider containing of nutritionist and occupational therapist etc. are prepared for erecting u-Healthcare, we can get the final and decisive u-Health policy only by means of Law for supporting u-Healthcare's Activation. The important sections of Law for supporting u-Healthcare's Activation are as follows. Sec. 4 The Minister for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs and the dean of associated administrative division have to erect the combined plan for u-Healthcare's Activation. Sec. 11 Government and local autonomous entity can support the facility and equipment to be necessitated for using u-Healthcare to improve the medical accessibility of person in the region with poor medicine. Sec. 13 Doctor can support other doctor's medical action through IT and if there are not medical risk, doctor can give medical act directly to the special patients. Sec. 21 If pharmaceuticals is necessitated in u-Healthcare, remote doctor has to send the patient the electronic prescription and the pharmaceutist to receive the electronic prescription has to delivery the pharmaceuticals in accordance with patient's demand.

  • Background: The legal and academic definitions of manual therapy in domestic and foreign countries are reviewed, and problems and improvement plan of manual therapy are established through comparative analysis of the current status and system of manual therapy in Korea and abroad. Design: Review. Methods: In this study, the development direction of manual therapy in Korea was derived by analyzing the definition, application status, and service system of domestic and foreign manual therapy. Results: Firstly, it lays the foundation for a more comprehensive national health promotion by solving problems arising from the current unclear definition of manual therapy. Secondly, the subject of manual therapy is a physiotherapist but the subject of claiming non-benefit costs is a doctor, moreover illegal manual therapy by an unqualified or non-professional who is not a physiotherapist is being carried out in the medical field. Thirdly, in order to provide quality physiotherapy services (manual therapy) under a cooperative relationship between medical staff and physiotherapists, it is appropriate that physiotherapist have a clear "prescription" or "request" by a doctor. Fourth, there is no provision for the preparation of medical records in the current Medical Technicians Act, and this causes safety accidents of patients during manual treatment. Conclusion: As described above, the current manual therapy in Korea is being performed indiscriminately without a clear interpretation, resulting in various problems. I think it is necessary to lay the foundation for institutional and legal re-establishment of manual therapy through additional research on manual therapy in the future.

  • 2019년 선고된 의료판결 중에는 의료행위로 인한 합병증이 발생하였다는 것만으로 과실이 추정되지 않는다는 사건, 최근 소제기가 많이 되고 있는 낙상사고 관련 사건, 세간을 떠들썩하게 했던 유명 가수의 사망사건, 최근 국내를 포함하여 전 세계를 강타하고 있는 전염병인 COVID-19로 인한 피해와 관련되어 더욱 의미가 있는 2015년 메르스로 인한 손해배상사건 등 관심의 대상이 되었거나 의미 있는 판결들이 다수 선고되었다. 법원은 의료행위로 인한 합병증이 발생하였다는 것만으로 과실이 추정되지 않는다는 법리를 설시하면서 '과실이 추정되지 않는 합병증의 범위'를 재판부에 따라 달리 판단하였는 바, 그 기준을 구체적으로 제시하지 못하고 있었다. 낙상사고와 관련하여 의료기관의 과실을 인정하면서 의료기관의 책임을 제한하는 구체적인 사정들이 제시되었다. 손해배상 범위와 관련하여 연예인의 일실수입 판단기준, 의료사고로 유족연금을 받게 된 경우 일실수입 판단기준, 의료사고 발생 당시 이미 노동능력이 상실된 경우 일실수입을 부정한 사건 등 일실수입 산정과 관련된 쟁점에 관한 판단들이 이루어졌으나, 좀 더 명확하고 합리적인 기준에 따른 판단이 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다. 의료광고와 관련하여 의료법 위반의 기준인 의료법 제27조 제3항에서 나열한 구체적 금지행위에 준하는 것으로 해석되거나 의료시장의 질서를 현저히 해친 것에 해당하는지 여부에 관한 구체적 판단논리가 제시되었다. 의료기관 중복운영 금지조항에 대하여 헌법재판소는 과잉금지원칙에 위배되지 아니하여 합헌이라고 판단하면서, 금지되는 '중복운영'의 범위를 합리적으로 제한하였고, 대법원은 의료법을 위반하여 개설 및 운영된 의료기관이라 하더라도 의료 기관에서 시행한 모든 요양급여가 국민건강보험법에 따라 수령이 불가능한 것은 아니라고 최초로 판단하는 의미 있는 판결을 선고하였다. 감염병 관리에 있어서 국가의 국민에 대한 구체적 보호의무의 존재를 인정한 의미 있는 판결들이 확정되었다.

조선시대 의료관청의 겸교수 제도의 변화 (Changes in the Adjunct professor system of medical offices in the Joseon Dynasty)

  • To be an adjunct professor(gyeomgyosu) literally means to act as an instructor while also holding a different position. Adjunct professors were initially introduced under Confucianism. Gradually, technical offices also appointed adjunct professors using Confucian-educated bureaucrats for the purpose of educating lower-level technical officials and cadets. This paper examines the history of the civil service system related to adjunct professors through the Code of Laws, and examines those who have been appointed to the public office described in various documents. This paper argues that changes in the medical office's adjunct professor system reflect changes in the national medical talent training policy. The main basis of specific recognizing medical personnel is to decouple the appointment of Confucian scholars from that of full-time doctors. The replacement of the role of medical educators from Confucian scholars to full-time doctors was largely accomplished during the reign of King Jungjong(中宗) and was completed during the period of King Injo(仁祖). The time when Euiyakdongcham was created and the Office of Euiyakdongcham was established coincided with the period when the adjunct professor was disrupted in the medical office. However, this change in the adjunct professor system of medical authorities is in contrast to interpretation, which is a representative technical field. In the case of interpretation, Moonshin's sayeogwon position as adjunct professor was maintained even in the late Joseon Dynasty, and apart from this, there was a hanhagmunsin in Seungmunwon. Interpreter families had institutional arrangements that prevented them from making interpretation their own monopoly. Therefore, families of medical bureaucrats had more room for institutional growth than those of bureaucratic interpreters. Of course, these institutional devices did not prevent the growth of interpreting bureaucratic families in the late Joseon Dynasty. However, the situation in which medicine was accepted only as a kind of knowledge, not as an object of full-time work for sadaebue, would have been an opportunity to rise for those in technical jobs who were full-time medicine. As medicine became more differentiated and developed in the late Joseon Dynasty, medical knowledge and the knowledge about the medical profession became more important. The politicians could not avoid the use of a philosophically oriented system in which a confucian-educated bureaucrat equipped with only Confucian knowledge might replace a full-time doctor. Thus, the contradiction between the reality and the ideal of ignoring or denying reality was reproduced like other Confucian-centered societies. These contradictions have implications for us living in the modern age. Establishing the relationship between philosophy (or belief) and technology should not end with the superiority of one side or the other.
