Abstract

The study selected two regional public medical centers(G, N) in Jeollabuk-do to recognize problems and provide solutions for regional medical centers. The medical centers were analyzed, focusing on availability of medical personnel, budget and management thereof, medical treatment performance, public project performance, and patient satisfaction. The results showed that the medical centers were understaffed with doctors compared to private hospitals or national university hospitals and suffering financial debt. The number of patient with medical benefit was increasing in the medical center G, whereas it was decreasing in the medical center N. Patient satisfaction survey showed that the medical center G was scoring similar to the national average, whereas the medical center N was scoring slightly less than the average. Policies needed for development and efficient management of Regional public medical centers are clarification of Regional medical centers identity, modernization of medical equipment and facilities, recruitment of competent medical personnels, specialization of hospitals and establishment of stronger referral system. The regional medical centers should secure financial supports for public service from regional and national governments, and establish revenues from funerary service, leasing service, and national projects participation.

본 연구는 지방의료원의 문제점을 진단하고 향후 개선 방안을 강구하기 위하여 지방 전북에 소재하는 G의료원과 N의료원을 연구 대상으로 선정하였다. 조직 및 인력 현황, 예산 및 경영 현황, 진료실적, 공공사업 추진실적, 고객만족도 조사를 중심으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 재정상황은 인력 면에서 민간병원이나 국립대학병원에 비해 의사인력을 충분히 확보하지 못하였으며, 재정상황은 두 의료원경우 부채를 가지고 있으며, 의료급여환자수는 G의료원은 의료급여 환자 수가 매년 증가하고 있지만 N의료원의 경우 오히려 감소하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 환자만족도 조사결과는, G의료원의 경우 전국 평균점수에 근사하였고 N의료원은 전국 평균에 비해 약간 낮았다. 의료원의 발전과 운영효율화에 필수적인 정책은 공공병원 정체성 확립, 우수 의료인력 확충, 병원특성화 및 연계진료체계 구축이다. 또한 공공서비스에 대한 국비와 지방비의 안정적인 재정적 지원책 확보와 장례업, 임대업, 국책사업의 위임을 통한 안정적 수익사업의 구축이 중요하다.
