Purpose : This study compared the cost-effectiveness ratio of physical therapy in health centers and home physical therapy, two physical therapy methods for home-bound stroke patients, and clarified the economic validity regarding the effect of home physical therapy. Methods : To measure and compare the cost and effectiveness of the two physical therapy methods for stroke patients, subjects were recruited based on in-hospital and home physical therapy. Among the entire data collected, 82 and 90 participants were selected for in-hospital and home physical therapy, respectively. To measure costs, regarding both in-hospital and home physical therapy, direct cost and indirect cost for patients, family, medical institutes, and the government were measured. In addition, activities of daily living were measured in both methods to measure their effectiveness. Through collected data, the cost-effectiveness and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were analyzed. Results : Based on the analysis of cost-effectiveness, home physical therapy showed lower cost-effectiveness than in-hospital physical therapy. Furthermore, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio also showed a difference, which implied home physical therapy could have high effectiveness compared to cost. Conclusion : Based on these results, home physical therapy could be considered as an alternativeto other methods of physical therapy, for home-bound stroke patients. In addition, the result of thisstudy contribute by providing evidence that home physical therapy offers economic benefits and canbe more effective in treating home-bound patients when policy decisions are made to establish a home physical therapy system.

This study was conducted to evaluate the application possibility of environment-friendly rural toilet developed by NRLSI (National Rural Living Science Institute). The evaluation tests of rural toilet consist of composting efficiency, component analysis of odor, and economic efficiency. The test showed that the remaining quantity of wastes was only 14.7% during 10 months. The ammonium gas, main component of ill odor, was not measured, and the other components or odor were significantly detected less than those in pit toilet. The saved PVC (Present Value Cost) of the toilet management cost for thirty years is about 2,457,000 wons compared with flushing toilet supported by a single sanitation facility.

The purpose of this study was to explore whether there is a point within the range of physical impairment after which the cost of home care exceeds the cost of nursing home care among the elderly who require long-term care. The provision of long-term care for the elderly is a major health policy issue, in part due to the aging of the American population and dramatic increase in health care costs. The framework for this study was guided by Pollak's(1973)model of costs of alternative care settings for the elderly. This study used a retrospective, descriptive correlational design. Physical impairment was measured by the modified Index of Activities of Daily Living(Katz et al. 1963). Cost of care was measured by the average cost per patient per day. The sample for this study included 67 patients receiving long-term care at home from the Long-term Home Health Care Programs (LTHHCPs) and 67 patients receiving long-term care in nursing homes. Data were collected on patient characteristics. including activities of daily living and cognitive impairment. and on the number of physician visits. emergency room visits. and hospitalization from the patient records. For each patient. Medicaid cost data for home care services/or nursing home services were collected from the financial department of each home care agency or nursing home. The living costs and informal care costs were estimated for home care patients. The results indicated that the home care sample and the nursing home sample were similar in terms of gender. ethnic background. and marital status. The elderly patients in the home care sample were: however. younger and less physically impaired than those in the nursing home sample. The hypotheses of this study were supported: For elderly persons with physical impairment scores below 12(possible range of 0 to 14), cost of care was lower in home care than in the nursing home care setting. However, for elderly persons with physical impairment scores above 12. the cost of care was higher in home care than in the nursing home care setting. Thus. in this sample for elderly patients with extreme physical impairment, the cost of home care exceeded the cost of nursing home care.

본 연구의 목적은 장애인거주시설 중 장애유형별생활시설, 장애인공동생활가정, 장애인자립홈의 이용자 1인당 거주시설 보호비용을 산출하고, 이를 시설유형별, 세입재원별, 장애정도별로 비교하여 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 살펴보는데 있다. 보다 엄밀한 보호비용 산출을 위하여 회계분야에서 사용하는 원가분석(cost-analysis)방법을 활용하여 거주시설 이용자 1인당 연간 보호비용(단위원가)을 산출하였다. 연구결과 거주시설 유형별로 생활시설은 약 15,000천원 ~ 20,000천원, 공동생활가정은 약 10,000천원 ~ 11,000천원, 자립홈은 약 4,025천원으로 나타났다. 장애정도가 유사한 이용자들만을 별도로 선정하여 거주시설 유형별 보호비용의 차이를 살펴본 결과, 생활시설에 거주하는 이용자가 공동생활가정 이용자보다 높았고, 공동생활가정 이용자는 자립홈 이용자보다 높게 나타났다. 이로써 우리나라에서 주장되고 있는 시설보호의 '규모의 경제' 논리는 실증적인 근거에 반한다고 할 수 있다. 서비스 효과측면에서 뿐만 아니라 비용측면에서도 향후 정책방향은 소규모 지역사회시설을 중심으로 공급을 확대하는 것이 필요하다. 이와 함께 현재 턱 없이 낮게 설정되어 있는 소규모 지역사회거주시설에 대한 정부의 재정지원 수준을 높이는 일도 중요한 과제라고 할 수 있을 것이다.

The number of elderly people living alone increases with the trend of nuclear family in recent aging society and advances of health and medical technologies, where the safety of the elderly people becomes a big social issue. One of the safety system for them these days is that security guards regularly visit homes of the elderly living alone to check their safety. However, it is an inefficient system since it costs a great deal. So, a new efficient system with low cost using modern advanced technologies needs to be developed. In this paper, we implement a monitoring system for elderly living alone using ubiquitous sensor and zigbeX. The system can remotely determine the health status of elderly people and report to their hospitals. Since the system can be implemented with low cost and do the same job as security guards do, we expect that it should replace the existing expensive monitoring system.

The title of this project is "A Simple Interactive 3D Interior Design Application for Living Room - Cost Management", focusing on developing an application that enables costing and designing to be executed concurrently in interior design phases. This is because any changes made at costing phase after design phase is completed, it will potentially lead to unnecessary increase in cost and time. Therefore, the objective of this project is aimed to devise a cost management module to be included in the proposed application, allowing interior designer to make cost-based decision at the designing phase itself. This can be achieved through its proposed functions which include total cost update, budget management, cost estimator calculator and material list generation. The methodology being proposed in this project is Prototyping Development, categorized under Rapid Application Development (RAD), by starting off with planning, analysis, design and implementation phases are performed concurrently and repeatedly in a cycle to produce a prototype until the application is completed. In the end of this project, the developed prototype is expected to contribute a better solution towards cost management in interior design.

Recently the rural women's role has been changed from assisting men to leading major farm work. However, contribution of women in the rural area has not beers fairly evaluated. Hence, it has been difficult for the rural women to receive the reasonable compensation if they injured, had some disasters or were divorced. Therefore this study tried to suggest economic methods such as market cost approach, opportunity cost method and shadow wage method for evaluating rural women's labor. It might provide some information for helping to establish the status of rural women as a income earner through estimating money value of labor contributed by rural women and furthermore, be useful information to improve the efficiency of farm labor by exploring the relationship between value of labor and actual income. Hence, it might help improve the economic situation and life at home of rural women, solve difficulties in the real life and reduce disparity of economic distribution between urban and rural area.
