본 연구는 대전,충남 소재 대학병원에 근무하는 응급의료종사자 122명을 대상으로 병원 내 응급구조사를 조사하여 응급구조사의 역할과 법적 업무규정의 현실적 제고 및 병원 내 응급구조사의 업무에 관한 인식을 보다 명확히 하기 위한 기초자료를 제공 하고자 연구를 실시하였다. 연구 대상자들의 병원 내 응급구조사의 업무인식을 살펴본 결과, 전체 40문항에 대해 $3.23{\pm}0.67$점으로 나타나 병원 내 응급구조사에 대한 업무인식정도는 중간 보다 다소 높은 것으로 나타났다. 영역별로는 외상처치가 가장 높게 나타났으며, 약물투여가 가장 낮았다. 응급의료종사자가 응급구조사의 업무를 바르게 인식하게 하기 위해서는 응급구조사가 고유 업무와 역할을 충실히 해 낼 수 있어야 할 것이다. 그러므로 보다 명확한 교육과정이 이루어져야 하며 보다 명확한 업무가 법적으로 규정되어져야 한다. 응급구조사에 대한 홍보와 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

응급 상황이 발생하면, 주어진 응급관리 정보 시스템(EMIS)에 의하여 응급차가 출동한다. 그러나 기존 EMIS의 문제점은 전문 의료인과 응급차 간의 신뢰성 높은 의사소통에 주안점을 두지 않아서 불필요한 사망자를 초래했다는 점이다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 단점을 해결하기 위해 고신뢰성 응급관리 정보 시스템인 HEMIS(Highly-reliable Emergency Management Information System)를 제시한다. 평가 결과, HEMIS는 기존의 EMIS에 비해 데이터 압축, 데이터 안전성 그리고 QoS면에서 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 HEMIS는 응급차 내에서 의료 서비스 질을 높임과 동시에 응급차로 이동하면서 사망자 수를 줄일 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives: To determine the factors affecting the assessment of Oriental medical institutions under the Oriental Medical Institution Assessment System and thereupon, provide for some basic data and alternative measures for assessment of Oriental medical institutions. Methods: The researcher sampled 320 people employed by 26 Oriental medical institutions designated as model Oriental medical institutions subject to assessment in 2008 and 2009 and thereupon, used a structured and open-ended survey table for them to collect the data. The size of the final sample was n=302. Results: The Oriental medical institution staff were highly aware of the Oriental medical institution assessment (OMIA), After adjusting the other factors by multiple regression, the factors affecting such recognition were different significantly depending on age (those in their 30's), types of job (nurses and treatment assistants) and locations of hospital (GyeongSang-do). The staff expected the OMIA could helpful for improving facilities and system of hospitals, thus promoting satisfaction of patients. To do so, they felt it necessary to develop an assessment scale reflecting the special conditions besetting the Oriental medical institutions as well as the indices for improvement of Oriental medical service quality. Conclusion: It is hoped that this study will be followed up by future studies which will comparatively analyze Oriental medical institution staff's perception of the assessment system before and after its operation and thereby, suggest some ideal policy alternatives for assessment of the Oriental medical institutions. Furthermore, future studies are requested to research into Oriental medical institution staff's needs and consumers' needs as well in consideration of the characteristics of the Oriental medical institutions and thereupon, suggest some alternatives for continued education, development of the assessment tools, methods and policies.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to report the incidence of falls in hospitals and analyze the risk factors for falls. Methods: This study used data on 1,216 patients who experienced falls from 2015 to 2017 during their hospitalization. The data was collected from the falls incident reports and patient' electronic medical record of hospital. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics using Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and multiple Poisson regression analysis with the SAS 9.4 Results: The incidence of falls was 1.38 per 1,000 patients days (2015), 1.81 per 1,000patients days (2016) and 1.99 per 1,000patients days (2017). The incidence of injury caused by falls (level III~V) was 0.05 per 1,000patients days (2015), 0.04 per 1,000patients days (2016) and 0.06 per 1,000patients days (2017). The largest number of falls occurred during night shift (42.5%), specifically in the patients' room (70.8%), and medical unit (66.0%). Average age of fallers was 69.1 years and 61.7% of them were older than 71 years. CCI and the patient's department have statistically significant differences in injury or injury levels from falls, but the integrated nursing care services had no significant difference in injury or injury levels from falls. Conclusion: The result of this study can be used as a reference for establishing a fall prevention strategy for hospitalized patients by presenting index values such as the fall rate.

Variation in the utilization of medical services is a very important issue in cost containment and quality assurance of health care. Practice variation directly affects health care expenditure especially in fee-for-service system, which is the payment system of health insurance in Korea. In addition to cost issue it is generally accepted that variations in medical practice and the cost of inpatient care suggest the possibility of inappropriate quality of care. This study is to closely examine the patterne and degrees of variation in cost structure of inpatient care among types of hospital and individual hospitals in some tracer diseases, and also to inquire into the service items which contribute much to the variation of total medical care cost. Foru common diseases, i.e. Cesarean Section, appendectomy, cataract extraction and pediatric pneumonia, were selected as tracer diseases. In most tracer diseases there were statistically significant differences in total medical care cost among hospitals in same type of hospital as well as among types of hospital(p<0.01). When total medical care cost were subdivided into the types of service, cost of medication and diagnostic examination varied the most prominenly. When the cost of medication were subdivided again, cost of parenteral antibiotics showed the most prominent variation. Of total medical care cost, medication was most contributory to the variation of total medical care cost(58.1~82.3%), and cost of antibiotics was most contributory to the variation of medication cost(63.9~92.2%). The results of study implicated that reducing the variation of medication may plays a significant role in containing the cost of inpatient care. In order to sort out the factors affecting practice variations including drug prescription pattes further researches are required.

This study empirically analyzed the effects of the Top Management Team (TMT) on organizational performance. We verified whether the age heterogeneity, job heterogeneity (core career, core function and major), and process (communication and integration) of the TMT affect organizational performance (management performance and healthcare service quality evaluation level). We collected data about 473 members of the 2006 TMT in 81 medical institutions. We also utilized statistics of organizational performance from the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs and the Korean Institute of Hospital Management. Results of the study showed that the age heterogeneity of TMT exerted a negative effect on the healthcare service quality evaluation level, while the process exerted a positive effect. However, the age heterogeneity, job heterogeneity, and process had no influence on management performance. We discussed the implications of such outcome of the investigation in comparison with the former studies on TMT and organizational performance, and presented its restrictions and future plans.
