Due to the rapid socioeconomic development and the introduction of the national health insurance system the general population's need for health care and utilization of health care services have increased dramatically. As a result of this change. Korea is experiencing a shortage of health care facilities and health manpower, and this leads long wailing line at doctor's offices. One of the solutions of this problem could be home health care system for those who have minor health related problems. With this background, this study was conducted to look at the feasibility of a home-based prenatal care system using information superhighway and nursing informatics specialists. With the home-based prenatal care system, the pregnant woman checks her blood pressure, tests her urine for sugar and protein, and measures her body weight at home and sends the information to a hospital computer via the information networks such as public telephone line and information superhighway. Nursing informatics specialist at the hospital will go through each patient record and screen those who have abnormal values and notify them to see a doctor as soon as possible. Besides telemonitoring features, the proposed system will include tole-education capabilities for the patients so that patient can learn whatever they need to know ragarding the prenatal care via information networks. If this system develops and operates, patient can save time in terms of travel to and from the hospital and waiting time in the hospital. And the health care institute can utilize its resource more efficiently.

대형병원의 의료 서비스 수준이 점차 높아지면서 이를 이용하려는 환자들이 늘어남에 따라 환자들이 받아야 할 진료의 대기 시간이 증가하여 병원 이용에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 진료 대기 시간을 단축하기 위하여 처방 전달 시스템, 진료 안내 시스템 등의 다양한 연구들이 진행 중이다. 그러나 기존에 제안되었던 연구들은 환자가 받아야 할 진료들의 상황을 고려하지 않고 순차적으로 진료 순서를 정하기 때문에 환자의 병원 이용 시간이 증가한다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 환자가 받아야 할 진료들의 예상 대기 시간과 평균 진료 시간을 더한 값인 예상 체재 시간이 가장 작은 진료를 추천하는 상황인지를 이용한 진료 안내 시스템을 제안한다. 상황인지를 이용한 진료 안내 시스템은 추천된 진료 순서를 바탕으로 환자의 스마트폰에 진료 정보 안내 서비스를 제공한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 상황인지를 이용한 진료 안내 시스템을 이용하면 환자가 병원에 머무는 시간이 최소화되며, 같은 시간 내에 최대한 많은 환자를 진찰할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 제안한 상황인지를 이용한 진료 안내 시스템과 기존 처방 전달 시스템의 성능 비교를 통하여 진료 순서 추천 방법의 우수함을 보인다.

General anesthesia has been developed in dentistry as a type of management technique to sedate patients who may be uncontrollable or require medical consideration. However, emergency treatment for controlling pain before general anesthesia could be required due to the time for medical evaluation for general anesthesia. There is a greater possibility of developing complications under extended waiting period. A disabled patient who needs dental treatment under general anesthesia underwent pretreatment with intramuscular injection of midazolam and $N_2O-O_2$ inhalation sedation in these cases report.

In this study, electromagnetic fields emitted from the various environment in the hospital were measured. Measurement spot was patients' head. To monitor how much magnetic fields are emitting from operation room, monitoring device was attached to 19 anesthesiologist and monitoring lasted 8 hours. We also took a measurement from various medical devices. Devices include ESWL, PET, MRI, CT, Gamma knife, X-ray, Angiogram, Echocardiogram, Upper GI and Linear Accelerator. Electromagnetic fields were measured from 10 spots from each of 5 patient waiting room. As a results, there were no places showing risk of high exposure. All the measurement values were below the reference levels for general public exposure to time varying electric and magnetic fields which is issued by ICNIRP.

병원에서 특정 시각 대에 집중하는 외래환자 접수상황을 효과적으로 해당 진료과에 전달하는 기술적 방식이 기존의 병원 접수시스템에 부재하다. 따라서 모든 진료과는 접수상황을 알기위해서 병원접수 데이터베이스 전체를 반복적으로 순차탐색하게 되고 이는 병원정보시스템 성능저하의 큰 요인이 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 병원 접수시스템의 효율 향상을 위해 웹소켓을 이용한 주키전송 일괄처리시스템과 접수정보전송에 의한 실시간시스템을 개발하였다. 주키전송 일괄처리시스템은 기존의 순차탐색시스템에 비해 데이터베이스 조회속도를 크게 단축하였을뿐만 아니라 접수환자 수에 무관한 빠른 조회속도를 유지하였다. 또한, 접수정보전송 실시간시스템은 데이터베이스를 조회하지 않고도 기존의 요청/응답 접수시스템의 대기환자 갱신시간을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있었다.

Buddhists. and those in the middle economic level. Patient satisfaction with nursing care according to their service utilization in the emergency departments revealed that satisfaction was significantly high for patients who were in internal medicine. neurology or psychiatry. those admitted for the first time. those for whom the distance from the department to home was less than 30 minutes. patients who visited between monday and Friday and between 8AM and 4PM. patients who did not have to wait to be seen and those who stayed in the department less than 24 hours. 3. The correlation between the patients' general characteristics. nursing service utilization of the patients in the department and their satisfaction with nursing care showed that patients with longer waiting time had lower satisfactory scores for nursing service. 4.

Lung transplantation is considered a viable treatment option for patients with end-stage lung disease. Recent decades have seen a gradual increase in the number of lung transplantation patients worldwide, and in South Korea, the case number has increased at least 3-fold during the last decade. Furthermore, the waiting list time is becoming longer, and more elderly patients (>65 years) are undergoing lung transplantation; that is, the patients placed on the waiting list are older and sicker than in the past. Hence, proper management during the pre-transplantation period, as well as careful selection of candidates, is a key factor for transplant success and patient survival. Although referring and transplant centers should address many issues, the main areas of focus should be the timing of referral, nutrition, pulmonary rehabilitation, critical care (including mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), psychological support, and the management of preexisting comorbid conditions (coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, gastroesophageal reflux disease, osteoporosis, malignancy, viral infections, and chronic infections). In this context, the present article reviews and summarizes the pre-transplantation management strategies for adult patients listed for lung transplantation.
