Objectives: This study was done to compare patient satisfaction and hospital charges of surgery performed in an outpatient basis(ambulatory surgical procedures). Methods : This retrospective study was performed in 20(vitrectomy 11, tonsillectomy 9) randomly selected ambulatory surgical procedures patients and 50(vitrectomy 26, tonsillectomy 24) inpatients who. received the same procedure at a general hospital in Seoul since January 1, 1998 to October 31, 1998. The operative procedures were vitrectomy and tonsilletomy which could be performed on a ambulatory surgical procedures basis or on an inpatient basis. Results: The results of this study shows that the patients thought the expenses and the surgical operative time was an important factor in a ambulatory surgical procedures but there were no differences in the patient satisfaction by the method of surgery. The charges of vitrectomy and tonsilletomy were reduced up to 495,000 won and 380,000 won from l,589,000 won 842,000 won inpatient surgery respectively. Conclusions: This study focused only on the charges of the surgical procedures and did not include the cost of patient helper, the lost salary due to missing days of work to care for a member of the family, transportation costs, and other indirect costs. Therefore, if those fees were included, ambulatory surgical procedures would be more economical. Therefore, by giving incentives at the fee schedule, the government health policies it would reduce the total hospital charges.

Objectives: Acceptability of patients towards obesity treatment program is associated with better weight loss outcomes. The purpose of this study was to review previously published study results of the predictive factors associated with patients' acceptability in obesity treatment. Methods: Authors searched for the articles related to acceptability reported as continuation, attendance and adherence, published from 2011 to 2018 found on Pubmed, Scopus, Research Information Sharing Service, and Koreanstudies Information Service System. A total of 23 articles were finally selected. From the study results, unchangeable and changeable predictors were extracted, and these predictors were examined according to detail categories. Results: Regarding the continuation of the treatment, unchangeable factors such as younger age, lower educational level, male sexuality and lower accessibility to physical activity predicted lower continuation. Furthermore, changeable factors such as early and half weight loss, better accessibility to the treatment and financial incentives for retention predicted higher continuation rate. Greater degree of attendance was predicted by unchangeable factors such as economical affordability, and changeable predictors such as half weight loss and proximity to the clinic. Main factors of adherence to the recommendation were unchangeable predictors such as weight loss experience, and changeable predictors such as more physical activity and appropriate dietary habits. Negative psychological state predicted lower continuation, attendance and adherence rate. Conclusions: Our review results suggest that unchangeable and changeable predictors of acceptability of patients should be carefully examined during treatments of obesity.

본 연구는 최근 들어 가속화되고 있는 글로벌화와 인소싱(Insourcing)에 주력 기업들이 조직의 핵심역량강화를 목표로 도입하고 있는 아웃소싱(Outsourcing)을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 특히 국내기업의 경우 자원의 해외조달, 높은 인건비의 상승, 부동산 가격의 급증 등 경영환경 변화에 대한 능동적 대처와 유력한 분야나 핵심역량에 자원을 집중시키기 위하여 아웃소싱을 실시하고 있다. 아웃소싱은 기업이 당면한 문제를 효율적으로 처리할 수 있고 핵심역량 이 외의 분야를 위탁 처리할 수 있어 기업의 경쟁력 확대가 가능하다. 이러한 변화 속에서 아웃소싱은 전문성을 확보할 수 있으며 고객의 니즈(Needs)를 충족할 수 있는 방법의 하나로 효율성과 경쟁력 확보 수단으로 활용되고 있다. 최근에는 대기업뿐 만아니라 중소기업 및 정부에서도 시장의 경쟁력 확보 수단으로 활용범위가 넓어지고 있다. 이와 같은 아웃소싱 시장의 흐름은 선진국에서부터 시작되었으나, 우리나라와 경영환경이 비슷한 일본의 경우 글로벌 아웃소싱의 시장규모가 급속하게 성장하고 있는 추세에 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기업의 경쟁력 강화를 위하여 추구하고 있는 경영형태인 아웃소싱에 대하여 아웃소싱을 운영하고 있는 업체를 주 대상으로 아웃소싱이 기업성과에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실증 분석함으로써 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

2012년 Renewable Portfolio Standard(RPS) 제도가 시행된 이래, 태양광 및 풍력 등의 신재생 전원에 대한 대규모 투자가 이루어져 왔고, 최근에 정부는 배터리 에너지 저장시스템(Battery Energy Storage System, BESS)의 신재생설비 연계설치에 대한 정책을 도입하여 신재생설비가 전원으로서의 역할이 가능하게끔 유도하고 있다. 정책입안자 입장에서 변화하는 전력산업 환경을 수급관점에서 고려하기 위해서는 개별 정책효과 분석을 단순화하는 방법론을 필요로 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초기단계로 시작한 태양광발전 연계형 배터리시스템 정책 분석을 위해 국내 태양광 발전 실적을 바탕으로 태양광 발전량 분포를 일간이용률 지속곡선 형태로 제안하였고, 이를 바탕으로 최적 BESS 용량을 산출하는 방식을 통해 분석의 용이성을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문의 방식을 통해 System Marginal Price(SMP) 및 REC 변화에 따른 BESS의 적정용량 범위를 간단히 파악할 수 있으며, 신재생정책 입안자 입장에서 정책효과를 가늠할 수 있도록 하는 도구로 이용할 수 있다. 현행 연계형 BESS 지원정책은 투자유인 제공이 부분적으로 가능하나, 설치 시점의 SMP 및 REC 가격에 영향을 받게 된다는 한계가 있다. REC 가격 상승과 감소에 따라서 시기별 최적용량이 바뀌어 설치비율이 계속 달라질 수 있어 정책변화에 의해 기술의 적용이 달라지는 결과를 가져온다. 따라서, 향후 제도개선을 모색할 경우에는 연계형 BESS 가치평가시, 신재생전원과의 BESS의 발전량 분할로 인해 발생하는 정책지원에 대한 기술 의존성을 해결할 수 있는 방안을 고려하는 연구개발이 필요하다.

The meaning of Online ADR lies in the prompt and economical resolution of disputes by applying the information/communication element (Internet) to existing ADR. However, if the promptness and economical efficiency are overemphasized, the fairness and appropriateness of dispute resolution may be compromised and consequently Online ADR will be belittled and criticized as second-class trials. In addition, as communication is mostly made using texts in Online ADR it is difficult to investigate cases and to create atmosphere and induce dynamic feelings, which are possible in the process of dispute resolution through face-to-face contact. Despite such difficulties, Online ADR is expanding its area not only in online but also in offline due to its advantages such as promptness, low expenses and improved resolution methods, and is expected to develop rapidly as the electronic government decided to adopt it in the future. Accordingly, the following points must be focused on for the continuous First, in the legal and institutional aspects for the development of Online ADR, it is necessary to establish a framework law on ADR. A framework law on ADR comprehending existing mediation and arbitration should be established and it must include contents of Online ADR, which utilizes electronic communication means. However, it is too early to establish a separate law for Online ADR because Online ADR must develop based on the theoretical system of ADR. Second, although Online ADR is expanding rapidly, it may take time to be settled as a tool of dispute resolution. As discussed earlier, additionally, if the amount of money in dispute is large or the dispute is complicated, Online ADR may have a negative effect on the resolution of the dispute. Thus, it is necessary to apply Online ADR to trifle cases or domestic cases in the early stage, accumulating experiences and correcting errors. Moreover, in order to settle numerous disputes effectively, Online ADR cases should be analyzed systematically and cases should be classified by type so that similar disputes may be settled automatically. What is more, these requirements should reflected in developing Online ADR system. Third, the application of Online ADR is being expanded to consumer disputes, domain name disputes, commercial disputes, legal disputes, etc., millions of cases are settled through Online ADR, and 115 Online ADR sites are in operation throughout the world. Thus Online ADR requires not temporary but continuous attention, and mediators and arbitrators participating in Online ADR should be more intensively educated on negotiation and information technologies. In particular, government-led research projects should be promoted to establish Online ADR model and these projects should be supported by comprehensive researches on mediation, arbitration and Online ADR. Fourth, what is most important in the continuous development and expansion of Online ADR is to secure confidence in Online ADR and advertise Online ADR to users. For this, incentives and rewards should be given to specialists such as lawyers when they participate in Online ADR as mediators and arbitrators in order to improve their expertise. What is more, from the early stage, the government and public institutions should have initiative in promoting Online ADR so that parties involved in disputes recognize the substantial contribution of Online ADR to dispute resolution. Lastly, dispute resolution through Online ADR is performed by organizations such as Korea Institute for Electronic Commerce and Korea Consumer Protection Board and partially by Korean Commercial Arbitration Board. Online ADR is expected to expand its area to commercial disputes in offline in the future. In response to this, Korean Commercial Arbitration Board, which is an organization for commercial dispute resolution, needs to be restructured.
