Abstract

|
|
Objective : This study examined the statistical changes in occupational therapy services (based on the National Health Insurance Service). In addition, it offers basic data for improvements in the National Health Insurance Service.
Methods : Medical treatment statistics, such as “treatment action statistics” and “medical expenses statistics” from 2011 to 2015 were used in this research.
Results : Most of the occupational therapy services were shown to improve. The NHIS income of occupational therapists (per therapist) has increased by 4.8%. The number of occupational therapists has increased by 65.9%. The NHIS income of occupational therapists as a whole has increased by 73.9%.
Conclusion : The occupational therapy services in Korea have improved over the past five years. We suggest continuing research with a follow-up study for occupational therapy services development.
