Abstract

|
Using the “2018 Medical Service Experience Survey” data of KIHASA, this study empirically analyzes whether the factors the Korean people recognize for change in health care system have impacts on enhancing public health care. The moderating effect of ‘support for medically vulnerable areas’ is additionally carried out on the causal relation between ‘support for medically vulnerable people’ and ‘enhancement of public health care.’ The study presents that all the factors for change in health care system (reduction of out-of-pocket cost, reduction of concentration on tertiary hospitals, support for medically vulnerable people, and support for medically vulnerable areas, etc.) show positive effect on the enhancement of public health care, while the variable of ‘support for medically vulnerable areas’ has the biggest effect in line with the moderating effect in the causality. These results imply that when central or local governments design and implement policies or projects to support the medically vulnerable people, public hospitals and facilities along with medical staff need to be concurrently reinforced as infrastructure to support medically vulnerable areas.
