Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated medical accessibility on optical stores and ophthalmic clinics of Seoul Special City and six other metropolitan cities. Methods: By using a number of households, population, optician stores, ophthalmic hospitals, and real estate (apartments) standard market price of Seoul Special City and six other metropolitan cities provided by the Commercial District Information System (2016.6) of Small Enterprise & Market Authority, we analyzed the level of healthcare accessibility and business area zones, Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 18.0. Results: Inchon (household 2,227/population 5,723) had the highest household and population rate per optical store, and Gwangju (1,146/2,979) had the lowest. Gwangju (24,612/63,987) had the highest household and population rate per optical store, and Seoul (10,021/24,432) had the lowest. From the consumer and patient's point of view, lower household rate per optical store is a city with good accessibility to healthcare, but from an optical store and ophthalmic clinic's view, it will have great difficulty due to issues of competition. Conclusions: Consumers and patients should be the center of healthcare. A healthcare system that can provide smooth service anywhere anytime should be constructed. However, most metropolitan cities, including Seoul, have optical stores and ophthalmic clinics densely populated where profitability and liquidity are ensured and causing unbalanced distribution of healthcare. To solve such problems, we need proper distribution of optician stores according to the population proportion and industrial-educational research to find balance point of local healthcare.

목적: 서울특별시와 6대광역시의 안경원과 안과의원에 대한 의료서비스 접근성에 대해 연구조사 하였다. 방법: 소상공인시장진흥공단에서 제공하는 2016년 6월 기준 상권정보시스템을 활용하여 서울특별시와 6대광역시의 인구수와 가구 수, 안경원과 안과의원 개설 수 그리고 부동산(아파트) 기준시가를 통해 의료접근도 및 상권분석을 하였으며, SPSS 18.0 통계프로그램을 통해 비교분석하였다. 결과: 안경원의 업소 당 가구 수와 인구수가 가장 높은 곳은 인천광역시(가구수 2,227/인구수 5,723) 그리고 가장 낮은 곳은 광주광역시(1,146/2,979)였으며, 안과의원의 업소 당 가구 수와 인구수가 가장 높은 곳은 광주광역시(24,612/63,987) 그리고 가장 낮은 곳은 서울특별시(10,021/24,432)로 나타났다. 업소 당 가구 수가 낮은 곳은 소비자와 환자의 입장에서는 의료접근성이 높은 곳이지만, 안경원과 안과의 입장에서 수익성의 문제에 의해 경쟁이 치열한 곳으로 큰 어려움이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 안경원과 안과의 입장에서는 경쟁의 치열함으로 인해 치열의 큰 어려움이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 결론: 의료의 중심은 소비자와 환자의 입장에서 이루어져야 하며, 언제 어디서든지 원하는 시점에 가장 원활한 서비스를 받을 수 있는 의료시스템의 구축되어 있어야 한다. 그러나 서울을 비롯한 대부분 광역시의 공통적인 특징은 해당 지역 내에서도 유동성과 상업성이 고려된 지역에 편중되어 안경원 및 안과의원의 밀집되어 있었고 이로 인해 의료 접근도와 서비스가 불균형이 더욱 진행되고 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위해 인구수의 비율에 따른 안경원의 적절한 배치와 지역사회의 안 의료 방향에 대한 균형점을 찾는 산학의 깊은 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
