Objectives : The purpose of this research is to develop the clinical pathway for optimizing the integrative medical service (oriental-western integrated medical service) and to analyze the clinical pattern of the integrative patients who received the oriental-western integrated medical service. Methods : This research developed the clinical pathway by interviewing with doctors, nursing and experts at K Medical Center. To analyze the clinical patterns, this research used 860 integrative patients and 6345 non-integrative patients at K Medical Center since 2007. Results and Conclusions : 1. We developed the clinical pathway for optimizing the integrative medical service. 2. Comparing the clinical pattern of the integrative patients with the non-integrative patients, the results indicated that the interval and frequency of the integrative patients is shorter than that of the non-integrative patients. 3. Comparing the medical treatment type, the integrated patients take much more medical care and more frequently participate in medical treatment. 4. In conclusion, it is different that the clinical pathway of the integrative medical service from the non-integrative medical service and the integrative medical treatment is more effective than the non-integrative medical treatment.

Purpose : This study explores unmet medical services within a region for patients admitted to a single medical institution in one region and was to analyze the importance and satisfaction of hospital selection attributes. Through this, we tried to solve the unmet medical needs of patients and provide useful basic data in terms of hospital management in the region. Methods : It were collected to a total of 250 questionnaires for patients admitted to the regional integrative medical hospital. However, 232 samples were used for the final analysis, excluding 18 copies not reported in good faith. For the analysis, first, demographic frequency analysis of inpatients and inpatients was performed, and second, characteristics of patients, including frequent disease receiving treatment, were analyzed. Next, descriptive statistics analysis was conducted on unmet medical service intentions. In terms of hospital selection attribute, the items of continuity maintenance (I quadrant), priority visibility (II quadrant), low priority (III quadrant), and excessive effort (IV quadrant) were derived using the IPA (importance-performance analysis) matrix technique. Results : The derived results were classified by item and area. In the priority administration area, it was the reputation and recognition of medical institutions and the service area of medical institutions. In the case of items, there were 6 items including the importance of surgery and medical expenses, and diet at hospitalization. 1) Conclusion : Thus a result of this study, resources are efficiently allocated to priority correction areas with high importance but low satisfaction and circulatory medical treatment is performed in the departments required by patients who use medical care and, various methods, such as preparing a policy to support medical expenses, should be sought.

Recently, innovative medical services are fast emerging, which include customized medical services based on bio-informatics, composition of cure and well-being exploiting ubiquitous technology, hospital supply chain management using RFID, and so forth. However, conventional approaches for new service development hardly give us systematic model to analyze and produce creative medical services. Because most of them are static and concentrate on microscopic tools or techniques. Thus, it is highly desirable to suggest an integrative framework to organize the whole transformation process from technology to medical service. The objective of this study is to propose a medical service engineering model based on the dynamic innovation theory. The proposed model contains objectives of service system, strategies of hospital, stages, activities required to deal with medical service life cycle, which incorporates the acquisition of new technology, transformation to the product, penetration into market, and adoption of consumers. In addition, the usefulness and applicability of the newly proposed model are provided using catholic medical center example.

Purposes: This study has the purpose to the improvement of health promotion for local residents through delivery of high-quality medical service by improving imbalance of medical use and seeking an improvement plan for accessibility of effective medical service by understanding the pattern of medical use by region. Methodology: As for the method, this study derived results at the significance level of p<0.05 through chi square test(χ² test) and Generalized Estimating Equation(GEE) SAS 9.4 version by using the data of the 7th Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing 2018. Findings: Study results show that local residents use medical service such as hospitalization care and outpatient visit more as compared to the residents in Gyeonggi-do/large or medium-sized cities. The more the number of chronic disease, the more they select hospitalization care rather than outpatient visit. Results also show that patients engaged in labour tend to select outpatient treatment rather than hospitalization treatment. Meanwhile, severity of disease turned out to be higher amongst medical care beneficiaries than that of national health insurance patients when comparing the types of medical security. Practical Implications: In stead of solving the problem of the difference in medical use by region from the aspect of income and economic level, an integrative solution shall be provided putting viewpoint on the social phenomenon suited to the changes of the times. This study suggests a plan for using a health and medical community care center that acts as a gate keeper of regional medical service.

건강 관리에 있어서 서양의학과 한의학의 접근 방법의 차이는 자연과 인간의 이해에 대한 문화적인 차이에서 비롯된다. 서양의학에서는 자연과 인간을 분리하고 인간 또한 여러 하위 시스템으로 나누고, 질병을 외부의 자극에 대한 반응이 적절하지 못하여 초래되는 것으로 보고 질병이 발생되면 시스템 별로 진단하여 치료해 왔다. 반면, 한의학의 경우 자연과 인간을 하나로 보고 인간의 건강을 자연과의 조화로운 상태로 규명하고 질병이 발생하기 전에 건강의 균형을 유지하기 위한 면역 기능을 높이는 예방적 치료를 주로 해왔다. 이러한 인간에 대한 근본적인 접근방법의 차이는 의료 전달체계를 양분화 시키고 상호 의사소통의 어려움을 야기했으나 통합 의료 서비스는 두 가지 의학의 장점을 살리고 최상의 치료 효과를 지향하는 시도라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 특정 질환인 황달에 대해 한의학적 분류 (습증, 열증)에 따른 서양의학에서 사용하는 혈액학적 검사수치를 통계적 분석기법을 사용하여 살펴보고 차이가 있는 수치를 살펴봄으로써 통합의료적 환자 진단과 치료에 적용할 수 있는 접근 방법을 살펴보고자 한다.

Purpose: This study presents the process of designing workbooks for advance care planning appropriate for the Korean cultural setting and describes actual case studies. Methods: This study focused on single inductive case studies of the utilization of an advance care planning workbook and recruited individual participants. Results: The workbook for adolescents contained six sessions and the workbook for children contained seven sessions. The workbook sessions led to four major discoveries: 1) considering the Korean cultural context, discussions on life and death must be held indirectly; 2) the role of the counselor as a supporter is crucial for the workbook to be effective; 3) the workbook must be accessible regardless of the seriousness of the illness; and 4) patients must be able to make their own choice between the workbook versions for children and adolescents. Six facilitating factors improved engagement: 1) the role of the counselor as a supporter; 2) building trust with the patient; 3) affirming freedom of expression on topics the patient wished to avoid talking about; 4) having discussions on what private information to keep secret and to whom the information can be disclosed; 5) discovering and regularly discussing relevant topics; and 6) regular communication and information-sharing with the patient's medical service providers. Conclusion: It is necessary to build on actual case studies regarding workbooks for children and adolescents in order to expand the usage of these workbooks to all relevant medical institutions in Korea.
