We used the 2008-2015 Korea Health Panel Data. Of the total 2,058 cases of admission, 298 cases(14.5%) of admissions are made by the decision of patients or their families with disabilities. The multiple logistic regression analysis shows that the admission decision by patients or their families with disabilities(ADPFD) is higher in the 18-44 years age group(OR:27.332) and 45-64 years of age group(OR:28.823) and 65 years old or older years of age group(OR:26.113) compared with the under 17 years age group. the ADPFD rate is higher in the patients admitted in hospital or clinics(1.980) and geriatric hospital or convalescent hospital(OR:12.785) than that of admitted in superior general hospitals. the ADPFD rate is higher in the patients admitted in 29-30 days(OR:8.108) and more than 31 days(OR:1.635) than that of admitted 13 days or less. In addition, The ADPFD rate is higher in the medical aid’s group(OR:4.499) and national merit reward beneficiaries and their family’s group(OR:3.836) compared with the National health insurance’s group.
Accordingly, various health care utilization policies should be developed in order to enable disabled people who are admitted by patients with disabilities and their families to use medical services in appropriate places.
