In recent years, the Korean Medical Association has undertaken the tat of establishing the Korean Standard Terminology of Medical Procedures with the dedicated help of 32 medical academic societies. However, because the project is being conducted by several different circles, it has yet to see a clear system of classification. This thesis, therefore, proposes the three principles of scientific properties, usefulness and ideology as the basis for classification system and has developed the Classification System of Medical Procedures in Korea upon their foundation.
The methodology and organization of this thesis as follows. First, by adopting scientific classification system of Feinstein(1988), an analysis of the classification systems of the medical procedures in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, WHO was carried out to reveal the framework and the basic principles in each system. Second, the direction of classification system has been constructed by applying the normative principle of medical field in order, to show the future direction of the medical field and realize its ideology. Third, a finalized framework for the classification system will be presented- as based on the direction of classification system. Of the three basis principles mentioned above, the analysis on the principles of usefulness was left out of this thesis due to the difficulty of establishing specific standards of analysis;
The results of the study are as follows. The overall structure of the thesis is aimed at showing the "Prevention-Therapy-Rehabilitation" quality of comprehensive health care and consists of six chapters;
I . Prevention and Health Promotion
II . Evaluation and Management
III.Diagnostic Procedures
IV. Endoscopy
V. Therapeutic Procedures
VI. Rehabilitation
Chapter three Diagnostic Procedures is divided into four parts ; Functional Diagnosis, Visual Diagnosis, Pathological Diagnosis, Biopsy and Sampling. Chapter five Therapeutic Procedures is divided into Psychiatry, Non-Invasive Therapy, Invasive Therapy, Anesthesia and Radiation Oncology. Of these sub-divisions, Functional Diagnosis, Biopsy and Sampling, Endoscopy and invasive Therapy employs the anatomical system of classification. On `the other hand, Visual Diagnosis, Pathological Diagnosis, Anesthesia and Diagnostic Radiology, namely, those divisions in which there is little or no overlapping in services with other divisions used the classification system of its own division.
The classification system introduced in this thesis can be further supplemented through the use of the cluster analysis by incorporating the advice and assistance of other Specialists.
