Abstract

|
|
Background: The resource-based relative value scale has been applied to Korean medicine services as part of the National Health Insurance, yet the proper scoring method for physician¡¯s work needs to be developed.
Objectives: To measure physician¡¯s work for Korean medicine services using Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and to compare results abstracted by AHP with those by Magnitude Estimation method.
Methods: We developed the AHP questionnaires for Korean Medicine services and administered it to 12 Korean medicine insurance experts. Weighted scores were calculated and were converted into physician¡¯s work scores. Results: In AHP measurement, the physician¡¯s work scores for acupuncture activities, especially special acupunctures, far increased, while those for diagnosis and basic consultations decreased. Variations in the scores enlarged.
Conclusions: As an alternative, AHP method can be considered for measuring the physician¡¯s work for Korean medicine services with careful management of scoring variation.
