The objective of this study is to investigate financial integrity strategies for sustainable development of local public medical centers, and particularly focus on seeking ways to enhance its financial efficiency and publicness. The data which was collected from 33 local public medical centers was analyzed by Data Envelopment Analysis to measure its financial efficiency. Then, Matrix Analysis was used to examine the association of financial efficiency and publicness of local public medical centers with related factors. In the aspects of facilities and location, according to the results, the local public medical centers which have larger number of available hospital beds or located in bigger cities were examined to have higher degree of publicness. In the aspect of human resources, greater number of doctors made both financial efficiency and the degree of publicness decreased, whereas higher participation rate of educational program for doctors affects increasing its financial efficiency and publicness. Lastly, in the aspect of costs, higher labor, material, and administrative cost diminished financial efficiency, but enhanced the degree of publicness. Based on these results, this study concluded that enhancing the publicness of local public medical centers should be pursued by increasing the accessibility with better facilities and location, and also concurrently organizing rational expenditure structure with appropriate cost investment to the resources of local public medical centers. Also, it is necessary to enhance both financial efficiency and publicness simultaneously by improving the quality of health care services through the educational programs for medical staffs.

Background: Tobacco use is the single most important preventable risk factor for cancer. Surveillance of tobacco-related cancers (TRC) is critical for monitoring trends and evaluating tobacco control programmes. We analysed the trends of TRC and evaluated the population-based cancer registry (PBCR) in Delhi for simplicity, comparability, validity, timeliness and representativeness. Materials and Methods: We interviewed key informants, observed registry processes and analysed the PBCR dataset for the period 1988-2009 using the 2009 TRC definition of the International Agency for Research on Cancer. We calculated the percentages of morphologically verified cancers, death certificate-only (DCO) cases, missing values of key variables and the time between cancer diagnosis and registration or publication for the year 2009. Results: The number of new cancer cases increased from 5,854 to 15,244 (160%) during 1988-2009. TRC constituted 58% of all cancers among men and 47% among women in 2009. The age-adjusted incidence rates of TRC per 100,000 population increased from 64.2 to 97.3 among men, and from 66.2 to 69.2 among women during 1988-2009. Data on all cancer cases presenting at all major government and private health facilities are actively collected by the PBCR staff using standard paper-based forms. Data abstraction and coding is conducted manually following ICD-10 classifications. Eighty per cent of cases were morphologically verified and 1% were identified by death certificate only. Less than 1% of key variables had missing values. The median time to registration and publishing was 13 and 32 months, respectively. Conclusions: The burden of TRC in Delhi is high and increasing. The Delhi PBCR is well organized and generates high-quality, representative data. However, data could be published earlier if paper-based data are replaced by electronic data abstraction.

본 연구는 2020년 1년간 수집된 심폐정지환자 세부상황표(2020년, 원시자료) 3,418건을 대상으로 하였다. 또한, 관련 법률과 지침을 조사하여 고찰하는 후향적 서술조사연구이다. 연구 결과, 첫째. '목격자에 의한 심폐소생술' 시행률 30.66%(1,047건)는 주목할 만한 결과로, 관련 법률 및 지침이 짜임새 있게 마련되어 있음을 짐작해 볼 수 있다. 둘째, '목격자에 의한 자동심장충격기 사용은 불과 0.10%(5건)에 불과한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 관련 법률 및 지침이 '구비 및 의무'에 다소 치우쳐 있기 때문으로 사료되며, 지역별 관련 대응 방법 모색의 전략적 차별성을 두어야 함을 시사한다. 셋째, 대구지역의 심정지 발생 장소는 가정이 71.97%(2,640건)로 나타났다. 향후 심정지 대응의 지역별 '맞춤전략' 및 '특별구급대'의 효율적 운영을 위하여, 원시데이터를 활용한 고급통계분석중심의 후속 연구가 필요하다.
