Objective : To evaluate the relative benefits and the costs associated with the introduction of the new pharmaceutical provision called 'Mandatory Prescription System' which separates the role of physicians from that of pharmacists with respect to the prescription and dispensation of from the perspective of consumers (i.e., patients). Methods : The costs of the system were measured by considering both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs included additional payments for ambulatory care and dispensing fees that occurred under the new system. indirect costs consisted of transportation expenses and costs related to time spent for physician consultation, waiting for the prescriptions to be filled, and extra traveling. Benefits identified in this study were the reduction of drug misuse and overuse, and the overall decrease in drug consumption among the Korean population. Sensitivity analysis was peformed for the inclusion of benefits for outpatients of hospitals, price elasticity, and increased fees for established patients. Results : The net benefit was estimated to be about minus 1,862 billion won and the benefit-cost ratio was 0.478. This indicates that the costs of 'Mandatory Prescription' outweigh its benefits, relative to the previous system. The sensitivity analysis results for all the variables considered in this study consistently showed the benefit-cost ratio to be less than 1. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that implementing Mandatory Prescription System in Korea might be inefficient from the consumer's perspective. The results of this study do not coincide with the results of previous studies, presumably because of the differences in study design and in which items of costs and benefits were considered.

This study was performed to analyse the economic value of abciximab which is used in PCI to prevent high-risk patients with ischemic complications. The effectiveness of abciximab was extracted from published clinical trials by search-ing CCIS, and the direct medical costs relevant to using abciximab were estimated from the NHI claims database. The results in terms of cost per life-year gained (LYG) and cost per QALY gained showed that abciximab was cost-effective enough to deserve its cost. Social net benefit resulting from abciximab in PCI was estimated to be 60-70 billion Won per year.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to use cost-benefit analysis of activity to clarify the economic effect of prepared nurses versus atmospheric environment managing engineers as healthcare managers. Methods: For the study 111 workplaces were surveyed, workplaces in which nurses or atmospheric environment managing engineers were employed as healthcare managers. The survey content included annual gross salaries, participation in external job training, costs in joining association covered by the company, location and year of construction of the healthcare office, various kinds of healthcare expenditures, costs in operating healthcare office, health education, and activity performance in the work of environment management. Results: In the case of the healthcare manager being a nurse, benefit was larger than input costs at a ratio of 2.31. On the other hand, in the case of healthcare manager being an atmospheric environment managing engineer, input costs were larger than benefits (benefit-cost ratio 0.88). Conclusion: Results indicate that nurses are an effective healthcare human resource and can offer good quality healthcare service. Therefore companies should hire nurses and actively promote the economic efficiency of nurses in workplace.

This study has performed comparative analysis on benefit indicators in agricultural irrigation and drainage project cases between Korea and Japan. The irrigation and drainage project with publicity should do economic analysis of direct benefit factors as well as indirect benefit factors. However, traditional economic evaluations are used that benefit factors are lack of consistency and focused on direct benefits. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop indicators for the economic evaluation of irrigation and drainage projects. We conducted a case study between Korea and Japan. The resulting benefit factors was divided into direct factors and indirect factors. The direct benefit factors were increase in income, cost savings. The indirect benefit factors were protection of property due to flooding, agricultural promotion, aesthetic improvement. The implications of this study are that the indicators of economic analysis can be evaluated and easily applied. Moreover, these indicators could promote the feasibility of economic analysis.

For economic evaluation of integrated operation to sewage facilities, benefit-cost analysis was performed to watershed sewage works project in 7 watershed areas, 156 facilities. In this study, the cost before and after integrated operation was compared and benefits are calculated from the reduction of operators, increasement treated pollution loads, reduction cost through operation convenience, reduction water consumption through effluent reuse, and improvement of life benefit. The result showed that cost was 8,500million won and benefit was 16,747million won, so benefit was 49% higher than cost. B/C analysis result showed that B/C ratio was 1.97 and it is similar to other researches. The benefits of integrated operation included convenience of data management, increase of emergency response, decrease of complains with sewage which was not reflected numerically, so the benefits of integrated operation were expected much greater than this result

국제해사기구 (IMO) 는 회원국 정부에 대해 SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, LL, TONNAGE, COLREG 등 6 개 주요 국제협약의 이행수준을 증진시키기 위하여 회원국 감사제도 (MAS) 를 채택하고 있다. 이 감사제도는 회원국의 요청에 따라 실시하는 자발적인 감사이나 우리나라는 국제신인도 및 해운산업 경쟁력을 제고하기 위하여 수감을 준비하고 있다. 본 연구는 MAS 대상 6 개 협약의 이행 현황 분석을 토대로 MAS 수감에 소요되는 비용과 감사 결과의 효과를 계량화하여 동 감사제도 도입의 타당성을 평가하기 위하여 수행 되었다. MAS 도입에 따른 비용편익분석 결과 편익/비용 비율이 200 정도로 나타나 투자비용에 비해 편익 효과가 매우 높음을 알 수 있었다.

멀티태스킹은 이제 일상이 되었다. 자발적으로 하고 있던 일을 중단하고, 다른 것으로 전환하는 행동이 점점 쉬워지고 잦아지고 있다. 그러나 기존 연구에 따르면 과제전환은 대부분 인지적 비용을 야기시킬 뿐이다. 본 연구에서는 자발적 과제전환으로 인지적 이득을 얻을 수 있는지에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 우선, 실험 1에서는 비슷한 성격의 두 과제를 할 때, 기존 연구와 마찬가지로 과제전환빈도와 수행도에 부적상관관계가 나타남을 확인하였다. 실험 2에서는 과제전환 가능 조건과 불가능 조건을 나누고, 개인의 멀티태스킹 선호도와 미디어 멀티태스킹 지수에 따라 각 과제의 수행도와 주관적 평가가 어떻게 달라지는지를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 기존의 대부분 연구와 다르게 과제전환에서 항상 손실이 나타나는 것은 아니었다. 특히, 멀티태스킹 선호도가 높은 집단에서는 자발적 과제전환에서의 이득이 더 크게 나타났다. 기존의 과제전환 연구는 주로 손실이 발생하는 이유와, 그것을 줄이는 방법에 집중된 경향이 있었다. 그러나 본 연구는 과제전환 행동에서 발생하는 인지적 손실 뿐만 아니라 이득도 살펴보고자 하였다. 그 결과 참가자내 조건과 과제의 특성에 따라 손실과 이득이 차이 나는 것을 확인하였다.

Purpose: This study purposed to analyze the economic feasibility of introducing a third party logistics system as a strategic alternative to hospital management. Methods: Economic analysis was performed by measuring changes in costs and benefits before and after implement the third party logistics system and estimating the size of net benefits for the next five years for the target hospital. A questionnaire survey and in-depth interview with stake-holders were conducted to find out the satisfaction and effectiveness of the system. Findings: According to results, the cost-benefit ratio for the implementation of the system was 1.18. For the next five years, the cost-benefit ratio was 1.48, the net present value was about 1.7 billion won, and the internal rate of return was 64%. The satisfaction of internal stake-holders was relatively high, in terms of improving the concentration of unique tasks and increasing the efficiency of inventory management. Practical Implications: It was found that the increase in benefits had a greater effect on the change in the cost-benefit ratio than the increase in costs resulting from the expansion of logistics, and the increase in the present value of net benefits gradually decreased as the cost increased. In addition, overall job satisfaction and satisfaction with outsourcing companies were relatively low, which means that stabilization of the new system is important. Further study is needed for more accurate economic analysis.
