공단과 제약사 간 협상은 제도 도입 이후 지속적으로 범위와 대상을 확대하여 왔고, 최근에는 품질관리에 관한 사항 등이 협상 대상으로 추가되었다. 그에 따라 복지부의 상한금액 고시가 아닌 공단과의 협상만으로도 제약사들의 법익이 침해될 우려가 제기되었고, 그로 인해 협상의 법적 성격과 법익 침해에 대한 구제방법 등의 검토 필요성이 대두되었다. 복지부장관이 공단 이사장에 대한 협상'명령'을 내리면, 공단이 제약사에 이를 '통보'하여 '협상'이 진행된다. '명령'은 행정권 내부의 행위로서 항고소송의 대상이 되는 처분성이 부인된다. 이에 반해 '통보' 내지 '협상'은 제약사를 상대방 당사자로 하는 행위로서, 협상 결렬에 대한 불이익이 존재한다면 그 자체를 '처분'으로 볼 여지도 있을 것이다. 협상은 '대상(보험급여목록에 등재되어 있는지 여부)'과 '목적(협상대상이 가격인지 조건 부여인지)'에 따라 4개 유형으로 세분할 수 있다. 조건 부여에 관한 협상은 협약을 통해 부담(부관)을 설정하도록 하는 합의가 된다. 신규 등재 또는 가격 인상 약제 협상의 경우에는 수익적·재량적 행정행위에 부담을 부착하는 경우로서 조건 부여 협상이 적법할 것이지만, 기등재 약제의 가격 조정은 대부분 가격을 인하하는 침익적 처분으로서 협상을 통해 부담을 부착할 경우 위법할 여지를 배제하기 어렵다. 따라서 부담의 설정이 필요하다면 인센티브 등의 부여를 통해 협상에 따른 고시가 수익적·재량적 행정행위가 될 수 있는 길을 열어놓을 필요가 있을 것이다.

Background: Organizations in the pharmaceutical industry are highly dependent on the institutional environment. The introduction of pharmacoeconomics to the decision-making on the price and reimbursement decisions became strong constraints to pharmaceutical companies in Korea. As little is known about the issue on organization-environment interaction in the healthcare field, this study aimed to figure out how pharmaceutical companies adapted to the environmental changes. Methods: A multicase study method was used, selecting eight cases among multi-national pharmaceutical companies in South Korea. In-depth interviews were conducted with the managers of these organizations, and secondary data were reviewed to complement the interviews. Results: Pharmaceutical companies viewed the new policies as a big threat and sought for actions against them. One of the most distinguishing organizational changes was to construct a Market Access department. Other strategies managing the environment such as co-optation, forecasting, and bargaining were also implemented. These changes were consistent with the predictions of Resource Dependency Theory and Institutional Theory. Conclusions: The interactions between pharmaceutical companies and institutional environments in healthcare were first explored. This study presents a new perspective on how organizations change and the motives for the changes. The findings of this case study will form the basis of further empirical studies.

To maximize the services of phatmacists, we studied the best national liscensing examination for improvement of pharmacist. Among 650 Pharmacist who are posed the questions, 282 pharmacist such as professor in college of pharmacy(46), pharmacists in drug store and hospital (136), administrators in The Ministry of The Health and Welfare(48) and researchers and phamacists in pharmaceutical company (52) replied it. By analyzing these questionares, the results were as follows: In the Korean national liscensing examination for medial care team, pharmacist has been examed over two times the subjects as compared with another national examinations for medical and public health liseneses and 6-year curriculum of medical school. Now, the national examination for pharmacy liscence have been tested the basic subjects such as pharmaceutical analytical chem-istry, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, etc., but almost demander, pharmacist who has been engaged about over 80% in the drug stores and hospital pharmacy, want to have exam pharmacy practics which are clinical pharmacy, pathohysiology and pharma-cotherapy of diseases like The United State of America, but not basic chemisty and biology. If the Korean liscensing examination for pharmacy will be changed like America, pharmacy education in the college of phar-macy will be progressed in detail. There are no clerkships and internships in the pharmaceutical education program in Korea, and so most of pharmacist want to have 6-year curriculum for pharmacy education and to test the pharmacy practice for Doctor of Pharmacy(Pharm. D.) but not basic science.

Background : Aim of this study is focused on the analysis of the needed abilities of medical representatives resulting in building up the market and increasing sales. It is to propose methods to increase this ability ensuring continuous growth in market share and profit. Methods : A survey was conducted between January 6 and May 31, 2003. Using SPSS(Version 10.0), the collected data was analyzed by Hotelling T2, factor analysis. Some hypotheses were selected to include the conclusion. Some questionnaires for physicians working in hospitals or clinics and the medical representatives working in a pharmaceutical company were created and asked to them to either prove or reject those hypotheses. The results were analyzed to find the primary factors that effect the interactions between physician and the medical representatives. These factors were also studied along with the theoretical research based on published references. Results : The results were as follows. The main reasons for the physician to meet with a medical representatives were collection of product informations needed for patient treatment and collection of informations on current medical issue and as well as personal interests. The main parameters by which physicians evaluate the medical representatives are human relationship including sincerity and manners and supply of accurate and unbiased information on products. Overall, the medical representatives' perception on the importance of medical knowledge and ability to deliver it are lower than that expected by physicians. Conclusion : Medical and pharmaceutical companies' environment are changed rapidly. And those changes forced medical representatives to set new roles and competency. In order to drive away from the past 'rule of thumb' and 'adaptation to circumstance', optimal method and systemic development to train and support the medical representatives should be quipped. They will help medical representatives to be specialists in medical knowledge and to understand the exact need of health care professions. Product competitiveness will be increased and eventually successful business can be achieved through it.

Diseases related to water impurities may present as major public health burdens. The present study aimed to assess the mutagenicity of drinking water from different zones of Tehran, and evaluate possible health risks through making tea with tea bags, by Ames mutagenicity test using TA 100, TA 98 and YG1029 strains. For this purpose, 450 water samples were collected over the period of July to December 2014 from 5 different zones of Tehran. Except for one sample, no mutagenic potential was detected during these two seasons and the MI scores were almost normal (${\leq}1-1.6$) in TA 100, TA 98 and YG1029 strains. Although no mutagenic effects were considered in TA 98 and TA 100 in the test samples of our three evaluated tea bag brands, one sample from a local company showed mutagenic effects in the YG1029 strain (MI=1.7-1.9 and 2) after prolonged (10-15 min.) steeping. Despite the mild mutagenic effect discovered for one of the brand, this cross sectional study showed relative safety of water samples and black tea bags in Tehran. According to the sensitivity of YG1029 to the mutagenic potential of water and black tea, even without metabolic activation by s9 fraction, this metabolizer strain could be considered as sensitive and applicable to food samples for quantitative analysis of mutagens.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the sites providing accurate and useful informations to the public by monitoring food and nutrition informations distributed through the internet quantitatively about 13 items of 7 necessary requisites. Total of 457 internet sites on the searching engines of Yahoo, Empas, Nate, Naver and Daum were monitored by 10 panels from May, 2004 to October. Thirty eight % of the sites got 7 & 8 total of 14 points and total sites showed a normal distribution. From the estimation of meta data, individual sites(5.19) were operated insufficiently compared with the commercial sites(6.10) and institutional sites(6.60) (p<0.000). According to administrators, sites were evaluated in the order of research institute> government organization> academic association> pharmaceutical company, club, food company, university> hospital> individual (p<0.000). While low-ranked sites were lack of authority because they didn't show the information provider and source, high-ranked ones lack of sustainable management(updating informations) and security. From this study, we suggest that 1) theme, contents and design have to prepared with variety to suit the need of target clients instead of that of site operator; 2) source and origin of information have to be provided; 3) informations have to be updated often and site to be managed sustainably.

본 연구에서는 IPO시점을 전후하여 기업의 혁신 활동과 성과의 변화에 대한 분석을 목적으로 연구개발 투자 비중이 높은 의료 및 의약 분야의 코스닥 IPO 상장 기업을 대상으로 7개의 투입, 산출 모형에 대한 효율성 분석과 비교를 실시하였다. 의약분야 기업의 IPO 전후 3년간의 혁신활동 효율성을 측정하고 차이를 분석하기 위해 DEA모형을 적용하였다. 본 논문의 주요한 결과는 첫째, 의약분야의 IPO 기업의 창업에서 IPO까지 평균 12.86년이 소요되었고, 혁신활동은 평균적으로 IPO 이전보다 더욱 활발해져 연구개발 투자액이 증가되었다. 출원특허의 수는 IPO 이전 3년 동안 8.43개에서 IPO 이후 3년 동안에는 상장기업 평균 16.67로 급증하였으며 기업의 기술 영역도 전후 3년 동안 상장기업 평균 11개에서 22개 기술분야로 크게 확대되는 모습을 보였으나, 재무적 측면에서 성장 추이와 수익성은 IPO 이전보다 낮아졌다. 둘째, 연구개발 투자와 특허출원 활동에 대한 재무적인 성과는 IPO 이후 효율성이 모두 약화되었으며, 최종적인 성과에 이르기까지 투자와 활동을 분리하여 연구개발투자에 따른 특허 출원 성과, 특허 출원 활동에 따른 재무적인 성과에 대한 효율성 역시 IPO 이전보다 모두 낮아진 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 특허활동에 따른 재무성과에 대한 효율성은 연구개발 투자에 따른 특허 출원 성과, 연구개발투자와 특허활동에 따른 재무성과에 대한 효율성에 비해 낮았고, 특히, IPO 이후 특허활동에 따른 재무성과의 비효율성은 규모의 비효율성으로 인해 발생되었음이 분석되었다. 마지막으로, 본 연구에서 IPO 이후 전체적인 효율성 하락은 IPO를 퉁한 연구개발투자 확대가 시장의 재무적 성과로 이어지지 못하였고, IPO 이후 전체적인 비효율성은 연구개발투자를 통한 혁신의 결과 도출 단계보다는 혁신활동의 결과물이 시장의 성과를 이끌어 내는 데 나타나는 비효율성으로 인한 것으로 분석되었다.
