Services, despite the difficulty of its exact definition, can be defined as deeds, efforts, or performances by economical bodies, attributing to four unique characteristics - intangibility, inseparability, heterogeneity, and perishability. This study aims to research the global competition and problems of the local professional services, especially educational services and health services, and to suggest some devices for increasing the exportation of both educational services and health services. Educational services and health services were reserved in the multilateral negotiation to open the WTO parties' markets because of its national public benefits. But it is indispensable to open our local market by the bilateral FTA negotiation. Legal restrictions, therefore, related to both education and health should be erased according to the basic rule of the market competition, and it is advisable to control the national public benefit of these services by enacting the different legal systems. For recovering from minus balance of payment in the educational services or health services, furthermore, it is necessary to drive rather some offensive exporting policies than the defensive policy against supply from the foreign countries. In conclusion, the korean Foreign Trade Act and other relative acts should be revised, and both educational services and health services should be contained within the definition of "the international trade" for the governmental benefits of supporting the services exportation.

Objectives: Due to the assumptions of homogeneity as well as challenges in the socioeconomic position of the elderly, they have been relatively neglected in studies of health inequalities. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the social inequalities in preventive services among elderly men and women. Methods: Data were obtained from a nationally representative sample of 342 men and 525 women aged 65 and over collected during the 2001 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Age adjusted proportions and logistic regression were used to identify the social patterning of preventive services among elderly Koreans using various social position indicators. Results: The findings of this study generally supported the presence of social gradients in preventive services among the Korean elderly. The likelihood of using the service becomes progressively higher with social position. Educational level, income, and self-rated living status were significantly associated with increased medical checkups and cancer checks. In addition, logistic regression detected educational inequalities only among older women receiving BP checks. After being stratified based on health status and chronic disease status, social disparities still existed when educational level and self-rated living status were considered. Among unhealthy individuals, place of residence was observed as a barrier to medical checkups. Conclusions: This study demonstrated strong and consistent associations between socioeconomic position and preventive services among the elderly in Korea. The results indicate that public health strategies should be developed to reduce the barriers to preventive services encountered by the elderly.

Purpose : The aim of this study is to review the current status of healthcare provision and its human resources administrative management and propose a coordinated human resource management plan for the more efficient operations of healthcare organizations. Methods : We reviewed the literature and held discussions with officials from the United States Department of Health and Human Services to survey United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps operations. In addition, we surveyed the literature to analyze the current structure and responsibilities of governing bodies involved in public healthcare in Korea. Results : In Korea, there are several administrative offices involved in public health: the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Defense, the Environment Ministry and others. Since these diverse agencies don't integrate their operations, it is difficult to grasp their management of both public healthcare services and their personnel. A potential model is the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, a sub-group of the Department of Health and Human Services and an elite team of highly qualified, public health professionals, which coordinates and manages the overall work and personnel of diverse healthcare organizations. Conclusion : We suggest the establishment of a federal level, public health administrative department of human resource management to centralize and coordinate the existing, disparate healthcare administrative agencies.

웰빙에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 소비자건강정보에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며, 건강관련 사이트의 수가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이로 인해 공공도서관에서의 소비자건강정보(CHI, consumer health information) 관련 참고서비스에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 공공도서관사서들은 CHI 관련 참고서비스를 수행함에 있어 다른 참고서비스와 달리 부담감을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 CHI 참고서비스를 효과적으로 제공할 수 있는 방안 모색이 필요하다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내외의 연구 및 국외에서 개발된 가이드라인을 총체적으로 분석하여 공공도서관사서를 위한 CHI 참고서비스 가이드라인을 개발하였다. 개발된 가이드라인은 전문가 자문 및 설문조사를 통해 검증과정을 거쳤다.

현재 입원환자 및 환자 가족의 사적 고용으로 시행되는 유급 간병서비스 실태를 파악하고, 이를 이용하는데 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하고자 함을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구는 한국의료패널 자료 (2011-2014)를 활용하였으며, 연간 1회 이상 입원서비스를 이용한 경험이 있는 5,110명을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 본 연구의 자료처리 및 분석을 위해 STATA 12.0 SE를 활용하였으며, 입원환자들의 기본특징을 확인하기 위해 빈도분석을 수행하였으며, 특성에 따른 유급 간병서비스 이용 현황을 확인하기 위해 교차분석 및 t-test를 시행하였다. 마지막으로, 입원환자들의 유급 간병서비스 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위해 Andersen's Behavioral Model의 3 범주를 단계적으로 모형에 투입하는 위계적 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시했다. 분석결과 유급 간병서비스 이용은 여성, 고연령, 장기입원 및 장애가 있을 경우에 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 사적고용에서 중요한 가구소득 변수는 유의한 결과를 보이지 않았다. 이 연구결과는 현재 논의 중에 있는 간호간병통합서비스의 대상자 선정에 있어 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다. 또한, 향후 대상자 선정에 관한 세부적인 논의가 이루어질 필요가 있다.
