본 연구는 급격한 사회 경제적 여건의 변화에 따라 중소병원의 설립에 대한 선택요인 및 입지 선정 요인의 중요성이 점점 커짐에 따라 의료서비스 시설의 선택요인 및 입지선정 요인에 대해 실증 분석하였다. 본 연구는 중·소 병원 선택요인 및 입지선정요인에 관한 연구를 통하여 각 평가항목 요인들 간의 중요도에 따른 우선순위를 분석하고, 부동산 입지적 요인과 비입지적 요인을 구분하여 기존 중소병원의 경쟁력에 미치는 중요 요인이 무엇인지 도출하여, 신규 중·소 병원 개원을 준비하고 있는 의료 공급자에게 중소병원 선택요인의 중요 요인에 따른 입지특성을 고려한 중소병원의 개원전략의 기초 자료로 할용 하는데 목적이 있다. 기존의 선행연구와 사례연구 결과를 바탕으로 의료수준, 의료서비스, 병원의 접근성, 병원의 편리성, 물리적 환경 측면에서 28개의 평가요인을 도출 하였으며, 수집된 28개의 세부평가요인은 관련 전문가들과의 인터뷰를 통하여 의료수준, 의료서비스, 병원의 전문성, 병원의 편리성, 물리적환경 등 5개 요인을 상위계층 평가요인으로 선정하였고 각 상위 계층에 따라 총 28개의 하부 평가 요인을 선정하였다. 선정된 최적 정평가요인들은 의료전문가 200명을 대상으로 AHP 설문조사를 실시하여 최적 입지요인을 선정하였다. AHP 분석결과는 선행연구의 사례와 유사하게 의료수준, 의료서비스 ,병원의 접근성, 물리적 환경, 편리성의 순으로 중요도가 나타났으며, 병원의 시설과 관련된 요인은 낮게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 중·소병 입지선정 의사 결정을 위한 기초를 제공하는데 응용할 수 있을 것이다.
This research empirically analyzed the selection factors and the locational selection factors of the medical service facilities according to the gradual increase of the importance of the selection factors and the locational selection factors regarding the establishments of the small- and medium-sized hospitals according to the rapid changes of the socio-economic conditions. By analyzing the priority order according to the levels of the importance of each evaluation item factor through a research related to the selection factors and the locational selection factors of the small- and medium-sized hospitals and by drawing what the important factors that have the influences on the competitiveness of the pre-existent small- and medium-sized hospitals are through the classification of the real estate locational factors and the non-locational factors, the purpose lies in utilizing them as the basic data and materials for the opening strategies of the small- and medium-sized hospitals considering the special, locational characteristics according to the important factors of the selection factors of the small- and medium-sized hospitals, regarding the medical suppliers that have been preparing, for opening the new, small- and medium-sized hospitals. Based on the results of the preceding researches and the researches on the case examples, 28 evaluation factors were arrived at in terms of the level of the medical treatment, the medical services, the accessibilities of the hospitals, the conveniences of the hospitals, and the physical environment. And, regarding the 28 detailed evaluation factors that had been collected, through the interviews with the related experts, the 5 factors of the medical level, the medical service, the expertise of the hospital, the convenience of the hospital, and the physical environment were selected as the upper class evaluation factors. And, according to each upper class, a total of 28 low-part evaluation factors were selected. Regarding the optimal evaluation factors that were selected, the optimal locational factors were selected by carrying out an AHP questionnaire survey investigation with 200 medical experts as the subjects. Regarding the AHP analysis results, similarly with the case examples of the precedent researches, the levels of the importance appeared in the order of the medical level, the medical services, the accessibility of the hospital, the physical environment, and the convenience. And the factors that were related to the facilities of a hospital appeared low. The results of this research can be applied in providing the basis for the decision-makings regarding the selections of the locations of the small- and medium-sized hospitals in the future.
