  • This paper investigates the evaluation criteria in order to manage healing environment of long-term care elderly hospital. Elderly hospital evaluation tool developed by Korean Government is used to assess elderly hospital facilities to check the hospital facility and maintain its quality. However, the evaluation indicators and questions mainly focusing on safety indicators. Some questions are too vague for precise evaluation. In this paper, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the present evaluation criteria to establish new assessment tool for precise evaluation. The literature research was conducted tp set up the new evaluation criteria. From this research, we developed an elderly focusing on healing environment checklist for elderly care hospital which contains 7 factors as the primary hierarchy structure (Safety, Accessibility, Amenity, Sensibility, Friendly to nature, Territory, Interaction) and 23 factors as the secondary hierarchy structure. This evaluation criteria will help healthcare facility designers and healthcare organizations to build the healthcare facilities.

  • The purpose of this study is to understand how visual factors of healthcare facilities would have an effect on psycho-physiological health of inpatients. First, visual factors of a ward, where inpatients mostly spend their time in a hospital, were extracted in order to find out how visual environment would affect inpatient's health. Then experimental samples were made and inpatients' reactions against them were analyzed. This study is composed of two approaches a questionnaire for psychological analysis and an electroencephalogram measurement for physiological analysis. The results of this experiment show that psycho-physiological health of subject's can be remarkably improved according to artificial arrangement of visual environment of a ward. Especially, they also show that insignificant changes of visual environment such as furnishing trees, flowerpots or framed pictures in a ward, where there is no view and completely closed, will be able to exert a range of positive effects on an subject's psycho-physiological health. In conclusion, further studies need to be delivered about indoor designs to positively bring in natural elements to a ward as well as visibility ratio of views and skylines from a ward.

  • Mobile Crowd Computing is one of the most efficient and effective way to collect the Electronic health records and they are very intelligent in processing them. Mobile Crowd Computing can handle, analyze and process the huge volumes of Electronic Health Records (EHR) from the high-performance Cloud Environment. Electronic Health Records are very sensitive, so they need to be secured, authenticated and processed efficiently. However, security, privacy and authentication of Electronic health records(EHR) and Patient health records(PHR) in the Mobile Crowd Computing Environment have become a critical issue that restricts many healthcare services from using Crowd Computing services .Our proposed Efficient Multi-layer Encryption Framework(MLEF) applies a set of multiple security Algorithms to provide access control over integrity, confidentiality, privacy and authentication with cost efficient to the Electronic health records(HER)and Patient health records(PHR). Our system provides the efficient way to create an environment that is capable of capturing, storing, searching, sharing, analyzing and authenticating electronic healthcare records efficiently to provide right intervention to the right patient at the right time in the Mobile Crowd Computing Environment.

  • Background: A group health service is a system that delegates workplace health management to an entrusted institution. There have been various studies on group health services to date, but recent changes, such as an increase in foreign workers, are rapidly changing industry characteristics. Methods: Satisfaction was assessed using a 27-question survey distributed among 203 workplaces employing health professionals. The survey items consisted of general characteristics, comprehensive satisfaction, requirements for health professionals' work, and satisfaction with work environment management, ergonomic management, and healthcare management. Multiple regression and frequency analyses were performed. Results: The comprehensive satisfaction was 4.08 points on average, out of 5. The comprehensive satisfaction of health professionals in the industry was positively correlated with each factor. Hazardous materials and chemical management (material safety data sheets, MSDSs) were the most common requirements. Conclusion: A low level of satisfaction with work environment management indicates high demand for healthcare management. The working environment should be improved by identifying characteristics of the workplace, examining harmful substances, inspecting equipment, and enhancing worker methods. The shorter the work experience of health professionals, the more dependent they are on group health services. The variables affecting comprehensive satisfaction were the period of work, healthcare management satisfaction, and work environment management satisfaction. Most of the requirements of health professionals in the workplace were practical improvement case presentations, MSDSs, and legal document management.

  • U-Healthcare는 언제 어디서나 환자의 생체 건강을 관리하고 유지할 수 있도록 하는 정보통신기술이다. U-Healthcare통신은 대부분 무선통신을 사용하여 검진 결과나 위급 시에 감지된 환자의 정보를 병원 서버로 전송한다. 이 때 U-Healthcare기기나 병원 서버에 악의적인 행위자가 DDoS공격을 하면 환자의 정보는 병원서버까지 전송되지 못해 병원의 도움을 받을 수 없는 상황이 발생된다. 이에 대응하기 위하여 본 논문은 U-Healthcare 통신 공격 패턴과 시나리오를 빅데이터로 구축한다. 그 후 악의적인 사용자가 U-Healthcare기기나 서버를 공격하면 DB와 연동하여 일치된 공격을 막을 수 있다. 앞으로 원격의료 서비스에서 나타날 수 있는 보안 위협을 알아보고, 빅데이터를 활용하여 보안 위협에 대응할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.
