Background: The long-term care (LTC) group has higher rates of chronic disease and disability registration compared to the general older people population. There is a need to provide integrated medical services and care for LTC group. Consequently, this study aimed to identify medical usage patterns based on the ratings of LTC and the characteristics of benefits usage in the LTC group. Methods: This study employed the National Health Insurance Service Database to analyze the effects of demographic and LTC-related characteristics on medical usage from 2015 to 2019 using a repeated measures analysis. A longitudinal logit model was applied to binary data, while a linear mixed model was utilized for continuous data. Results: In the case of LTC ratings, a positive correlation was observed with overall medical usage. In terms of LTC benefit usage characteristics, a higher overall level of medical usage was found in the group using home care benefits. Detailed analysis by medical institution classification revealed a maintained correlation between care ratings and the volume of medical usage. However, medical usage by classification varied based on the characteristics of LTC benefit usage. Conclusion: This study identified a complex interaction between LTC characteristics and medical usage. Predicting the requisite medical services based on the LTC rating presented a challenge. Consequently, it becomes essential for the LTC group to continuously monitor medical and care needs, even after admission into the LTC system. To facilitate this, it is crucial to devise an LTC rating system that accurately reflects medical needs and to broaden the implementation of integrated medical-care policies.

The purpose of this study is to identify which factors of medical service quality were considered important by patients based on survey on eight hospitals located in Seoul. We analyzed the difference in impact of health service quality factors between the two groups with short and long inpatient days. In addition, we analyzed which service factors affected the customer satisfaction more differently across the inpatient groups. We found that patient satisfaction was not different between the two groups with short and long inpatient days. But the two groups showed different priority orders of medical service factors that affect patient satisfaction. In the group with long inpatient days, the order of medical service factors are cleanness, speciality, process. In the group with short stay, important factors are speciality, cleanness and convenience of facilities. These findings imply that hospitals should set up different marketing strategies across the different inpatients groups.

According to the current law of national health insurance, the Minister of Health and Welfare can impose a suspension of business or license, and a fine with medical institutions who violate the law. In case that medical institutions raise an action for ity with each penalty, they ask for replacing the suspension of business with a fine during the pendency of the action. But there is a long gap of time between an offense and administrative measures. One violation cause several types of administrative measures (suspension of business or fine, suspension of license etc.) and different government departments impose these penalties. It takes a lot of time to organize their opinions and they are liable to impose penalties after considerable space of time because of overwhelming tasks. Then the medical institutions can sustain a loss by getting unexpected administrative measures after their offense against the law. Thus, this article review whether extinctive prescription apply to the right of imposing fine on the law of national health insurance or not. Meanwhile, we have no regulations imposing a same fine to co-representatives of medical institution who infringe the law of national health insurance. On this point, this study review whether they have equal duty on that or not.

본 연구는 우리나라 의료기관 입원손상환자의 지역별 자체충족도의 현황을 파악하고 이를 기반으로 지역별 자체충족도를 높이기 위한 방안을 마련하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해, 2005년, 2008년 환자조사 자료, 건강보험공단의 지역별 의료이용 자료, 중앙응급의료센터 연보자료, 응급의료기관 평가결과 자료를 수집하였다. 자료분석에는 빈도분석, 교차분석, 의사결정나무, 로지스틱회귀분석 기법을 이용 하였다. 광역시 도 단위별 자체충족도는 2005년, 2008년 모두 충청남도가 가장 낮았으며, 경상북도, 경기도, 전라남도의 순으로 자체충족도가 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 시 군 구 단위별 거주지 의료 공급 현황에 따른 의료이용 자체충족도는 2005년, 2008년 모두 거주지에 종합병원, 권역응급의료센터, 지역응급의료센터, 지역응급의료기관이 있는 지역 입원손상환자들의 자체충족도가 높았다. 또한, 거주지 응급의료기관의 질적 수준이 높을수록 자체충족도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 손상환자를 위한 국가 정책 추진시도 단위의 응급 의료 공급수준이 낮은 지역을 우선 사업대상지역으로 하고, 또한 응급실 의료기관의 질적 수준을 높이는 것이 자체충족도 향상에 도움이 된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
