Objective : A total of 1,059 subscribers who received bedsore prevention cushions and pressure ulcer prevention mattresses from November 15, 2015 to March 31, 2016 of the National Health Insurance Corporation were analyzed for the treatment costs related to pressure beds for one year before and after the payment date. We want to examine the necessity of system implementation.
Method : As the National Health Insurance Corporation analyzed the status of salaries of people with disabilities, and analyzed the changes in total medical expenses for one year before and after the payment of bedsore prevention cushions and pressure sickness prevention mattresses.
Result : Compared with before payment, total medical expenses after payment decreased by 20.73% for the pressure ulcer prevention cushion, 20.54% for the pressure ulcer prevention mattress, and the average decreased by 20.60%. The amount of savings compared to the payment amount was 11.21 times for the pressure ulcer prevention cushion, 13.09 times for the pressure ulcer prevention mattress, and 12.47 times on the average, and it was very cost effective and contributed to the reduction of the medical burden cost and the health insurance financing.
Conclusion : The economic effect and the reduction of the medical expenses of the bedsore prevention cushion and the pressure ulcer prevention bed reduction were both decreased not only the economic burden of the disabled but also the national health insurance corporation. In addition, in order to develop the benefit system for persons with disabilities, a unified public agency is needed to provide quality products to disabled people and to prevent health insurance financial leaks. In addition, Future studies such as the development of disabled people s protection using ICT(Information & Communication Technology) and artificial intelligence are also needed as the cases of foreign countries and the development of various social problems due to the aging of low birth rate and aging society are predicted.
