The origin of hospital accreditation in Korea is the Hospital Standardization Program of the Korea Hospital Association. Current accreditation program implemented by the Korea Institute for Healthcare Accreditation has succeeded in stimulating quality improvement activities of participating hospitals since its launching in 2010. However it has been criticized due to some unintended consequences of accreditation. In order to fully enjoy the benefit of the accreditation program in Korea, national efforts to expand accreditation scheme and coverage, upgrade accreditation standards, insure substantiality of accreditation process, provide consumers with more useful information, and strengthen the professional capacity of accreditation organization will be needed.

The US-China trade war forced a reluctant semiconductor industry into someone else's fight, a very different position from its leading role in the 1980s trade conflict with Japan. This paper describes how the political economy of the global semiconductor industry has evolved since the 1980s. That includes both a shift in the business model behind how semiconductors go from conception to a finished product as well as the geographic reorientation toward Asia of demand and manufactured supply. It uses that lens to explain how, during the modern conflict with China, US policymakers turned to a legally complex set of export restrictions targeting the semiconductor supply chain in the attempt to safeguard critical infrastructure in the telecommunications sector. The potentially far-reaching tactics included weaponization of exports by relatively small but highly specialized American software service and equipment providers in order to constrain Huawei, a Fortune Global 500 company. It describes potential costs of such policies, some of their unintended consequences, and whether policymakers might push them further in the attempt to constrain other Chinese firms.

This article explores religious responses to significant cultural and social change in a northern Vietnamese delta village from 1996 to 2008-the second decade after de-collectivization. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork in both the village and surrounding religious networks, the article teases out the meanings of the new religious movements for northern rural people in the new era of market economy; the symbols, language, and metaphoric resources people used in response to their uncertainty and mistrust of the new social landscape; and the unintended consequences of rapid societal development such as marginalization, tensions, and social disintegration. The article argues that as in milleniarism elsewhere, new religious movements in northern rural Vietnam embody unorthodox syncretism between world religious and local traditions, thus linking past, present, and future. However, when drawing upon a common reservoir of memories and experiences to cope with risks and challenges of the new market world, local people not only drew on the power and imperial metaphor of deities in their traditional religion and belief, but became more creative to recuperate meanings, standards, and symbols from revolutionary discourse to reorient themselves, and overcome alienation and marginalization.

This study structurally analyzes major inefficiency of Korea's healthcare delivery system by utilizing the systems thinking. In particular, the phenomenon of patient's concentrated visits to large hospitals, waste of resource due to competitions between clinics and large hopitals, and the structure of oversupply were visualized using the causal loop diagram. The inefficient structure of healthcare delivery system can be understood more clearly by utilizing the major system archetypes of 'success to the successful', 'tragedy of commons', 'escalation' and 'limits to growth'. This study also finds solution from archetypal structure suggested by Wolstenholme. The inefficient status of healthcare delivery system might be explained by the 'out of control' archetype. In conclusion, the public resources such as the national health insurance need to be acknowledged as the entire achievement. All the participants should cooperate with each other in order to improve the inefficiency of the healthcare delivery system. In addition, the arrangement of incentive system for cooperation, acceleration of health information technology, and development of innovative business models make the sustainable healthcare delivery system.

In 2004, India began investing in the clinical trial industry; the country now boasts a 20% market share with the help of a valuable resource - the world's second largest population. The Contract Research Organization has been able to generate profits efficiently conducting clinical trials via a large pool of participants, skilled researchers, and reduced developmental costs. As the demand and sheer number of global clinical trials increased, the International Council of Harmonization-Good Clinical Practice was introduced, and the need for the Institutional Review Board increased. While the clinical trial industry in India boomed, it came at the expense of the participants' civil rights. The increased media attention regarding the ethical issues forced the Indian Supreme Court to take action. Consequently, India is the only country, by law, that specifically compensates participants suffering from injury directly resulting from participation in clinical trials. This research paper will describe and compare the relevant laws of India and Korea including compensation criteria. In addition, the ethical issues and aspects of indemnity in clinical trials will be discussed. While the clear advantage of the compensation is one of the protected rights of a clinical subject, the current system is not perfect. Furthermore, laws created to redeem ethical issues can have unintended, negative consequences.

의도치 않은 "코로나 19"시대로 전 세계는 혼란을 맞이했다. 일시적인 현상이 아닌 지속적인 현상이 되었고 사람들은 이 시대에 점점 익숙해지고 있다. 그중 우리는 한국 영화 산업을 좌우하고 멀티플렉스의 역할을 하는 "영화관"의 형태를 다양하게 접하고 있다. 이제는 우리 문화 산업에 자리 잡은 뉴 플랫폼 OTT를 통해 변화한 영화제 영화관람 형태를 기반으로 앞으로의 한국 영화 산업이 어떻게 발전하게 될 것인지 연구하였다. 연구결과, 오늘날 하나의 장르로 자리 잡고 있는 OTT플랫폼이 영화를 발전시킬 기회로 여겨야 하며, 영화 산업발전에 한 부분인 영화관이 OTT 플랫폼과 다른 점인 "공간의 기억"으로 "관객들의 발걸음이 다시 움직일 수 있다"라는 결과를 내릴 수 있었다. 코로나 19라는 위기에서 기회로 변화하는 결과를 가져와야 한다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in perception of the New Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG)-based payment system, make overall evaluation after participation, and examine opinions on further policy improvement among employees of a public hospital participating in the pilot project in Korea. Methods: We investigated changes in perception of the New DRG-based payment system before and after participation in the pilot project using a qualitative research method. We conducted individual in-depth interviews with the management and healthcare professionals and Focus Group Interviews (FGIs) with the staff in the nursing and administrative departments. Results: Before implementing the pilot project of the New DRG-based payment system, the management was in favor of participating in the pilot project, whereas the healthcare professionals were strongly opposed to participation in the pilot project, and the staff in the nursing and administrative departments were slightly opposed to participation. After implementing the pilot project, there were remarkable changes in the perception of the New DRG-based payment system among healthcare professionals and the administrative staff. Healthcare professionals' perception was altered in a positive way, while the administrative staff's perception of the system became negative. Conclusion: There were no restrictions on clinical practice or deterioration of quality of care observed in association with the participation in the New DRG-based payment system. However, certain unintended consequences of the New DRG-based payment system may arise as well. Therefore, the government needs to examine the problems identified in this study to reflect on and improve the New DRG-based payment system for stable expansion.

온라인 플랫폼의 등장은 개인들이 방 한 칸과 같이 작은 자원을 시장에서 거래할 수 있게 하였다. 그러나 이러한 경제활동에 대한 명확한 규제가 존재하지 않아 다양한 부작용이 대두되었다. 이에 정부는 온라인 플랫폼을 매개로 한 경제활동이 만들어내는 의도치 않은 결과들에 대한 자정을 목표로 관련 정책을 재정립하였다. 그러나 아직 정책은 표류하고 있으며, 다수의 참여자가 기존 정책에 불응을 선택하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 참여자들이 기존 정책에 대한 불응을 결정함에 있어, 어떤 인식을 하고 있는지를 세밀하게 조망해보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 텍스트마이닝 기법을 적용하였다. 주요 온라인 커뮤니티에 남겨진 참여자들의 발화를 수집하여, 관련 정책에 대한 인식과 그 심적기재를 5개의 주제로 도출하였다. 정부의 정책에 따르는 것은 자유의사에 의한 결정이다. 따라서 처벌이나 벌금과 같은 무조건적인 억제 기재를 상정하는 것보다, 정책대상 즉, 현 참여자에 대한 깊이 있는 이해를 수행하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 이에, 향후 본 연구를 기반으로 이들을 정책순응으로 유도할 수 있는 기재들을 세밀히 논의할 수 있기를 기대한다.
