Since April 1998, the Central Institute for Medical Science Information has provided the searching services of medico-pharmaceutical information to health and related facilities under types as follows: some medical and pharmaceutical journals of on the internet, table of content of latest journals, abstract of articles, full text of articles, medical and pharmaceutical newsweek, and way of services (local or remote services).

A number of application systems for medical information services were developed. However, each of those application systems was developed independently out of consideration for other applications. Therefore, there are many problems in operation of the systems. Users(hospitals) have to prepare communication lines and equipments for using each service redundantly, and facilities for operation of those systems are also furnished individually. Thus, it is necessary to integrate the medical information systems in standardized environment in order to reduce operating costs and upgrade the services. This paper analyzes the methodology for development of an integrated medical information system in common environment and summarizes the result of the integration and standardization. Finally, we studies the directions for expanding the integrated system and activating the services.

At a low dosage of Aspirin (75-325 mg/day) can cause the severe gatro-intestinal bleeding. The adverse reactions of the path of scopolamine are dry mouth, drowsiness, temporarily vision imparement. Fluoroquinolon interacts adversely with mefloquin and many anti-malarial agents. Natrithiosulphate can be used as prophylaxis of hearing loss due to the use of carboplatin for brain cancer. Benzodiazepine is contraindicated in pregnant women and breast feeding because of hypobody temperature, hypertension, respiratory failure in children. Midazolam causes confusion, mania, unsuitability, anxiety, hinding. It is not proven that the use of corticoid during pregnancy and breast feeding whether cause defect in newborn or not. The loss of memory is most frequent when using dexfenfluramine. Some drugs made in Canada related with lasting the QT interval and tosade depoint. The proton-pumping inhibitors cause the hematologic disorder.

Recently, it becomes conspicuous that the network should have enough communication bandwidth and be organized with steadiness to operate and support hospital information system successfully. Seoul National University Hospital completed to reconstruct legacy network which had been used since 1995. We had a consultation to diagnose the current problems and reconstructed the network according to the consultation. The design of network architecture was mainly focused on the circuit route in case of error condition and the suitable bandwidth for the easy communication. We also regulated the use of unsuitable protocols which might broadcast inappropriate data packets over the whole network. After 6 months of operation we evaluated the performance of newly constructed network. The average traffic rate from the input port of main servers was 0.5% and that from the output port was 6% separately. The average traffic rate on the overall ATM backbone showed around 1 %.From the result, we concluded that the newly constructed network had such an enough capability supporting hospital information system without any interruption. Furthermore, we expect that it will be sufficient to support the additional traffic increment by PACS and group ware applications.

With the institutional and market changes in hospitals, strategic management has become increasingly important. Strategic managerial innovations can have impact on market pioneering and hospital performance, enabling better customer satisfaction, productivity improvement, and quality management. Hospital Information systems also require strategic planning to improve functionality in all aspects. This article reviewed the concept of strategic management and strategic information system (SIS), and summarized a framework for developing SIS for hospitals. The SIS formulation process consists of two interrelated phases: organizational analysis and SIS development. The first phase involves an analysis of the hospital's current position and the development of the hospital's vision and goals. The second phase incorporates three activities: SIS goals assessment, strategic information requirements analysis (SIRA), and SIS implementation planning. In particular, in SIRA, four dimensions of SIS and their interrelationships between dimensions would permit an organization to specify the strategic information needs within a hospital. Hospitals that integrate this framework with other aspects of their own hospital management information systems cope more effectively with the rapid changes and challenges encountered in today's health service industry.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this meta-analysis study was to examine the relationship between cognitive anxiety and performance in closed loop skill sports. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases including Korean Information Service System, DBpia, Research Information Sharing Service, and National Assembly Library from 1980 to 2015. Search terms included ‘Golf’, ‘Shooting’, ‘Archery’, ‘Anxiety’, and ‘Performance’. Standardized mean difference and 95% CI(confidence intervals) were calculated, and the heterogeneity of the studies was estimated using Q statistic. RESULTS: Ten studies have satisfied the inclusion criteria. The main findings indicate that cognitive anxiety was significantly reverse correlated with performance in closed loop skill sports(r=-.198). The mean effect size for men(r=-.31) was significantly greater than that for women(r=-.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that cognitive anxiety in closed loop skill sports is correlated with performance of athletes. Future study related to psychological aspects on athletes in sports is required in order to understand the specific evidence of relationship between anxiety and performance.

The aim of this meta-analysis study was to examine the effectiveness of exercise interventions on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) pertaining to cognitive function such as attention and impulsivity in children.ZA comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases including Korean Information Service System, DBpia, Research Information Sharing Service, and National Assembly Library from 1995 to 2014. Search terms included 'ADHD', 'children', 'exercise', 'physical activity', and 'sports'. Standardized mean difference and 95% confidence intervals were calculated, and the heterogeneity of the studies was estimated using Q statistic. That is, these results revealed that effectiveness of exercise groups was higher by approximately 32% compared with control groups.ZEight studies (n=150) satisfied the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis suggested that exercise has a moderate to large effect on core symptoms involved in attention [effect size (ES)=0.93] and impulsivity (ES=0.92) in children with ADHD. The main findings indicate that exercise, based on several types of exercise intervention, appears to be effective for mitigating symptoms such as attention, impulsivity in children with ADHD. From this perspective, exercise might be an effective adjunctive therapy for enhancing the effects of medication in children with ADHD. Future study related to exercise effect on ADHD symptoms is required in order to understand the specific evidence of relationship between exercise and core symptoms.

These days, the computer network has become the most popular and widely used source of information. There are two kinds of computer networks, the first one is multimedia internet world wide web site and the second one is text based commercial network (etc. Hitel, Chollian. Nownuri, Unitel). With the rapid development of internet, various kinds of medical-related sites are newly appearing on the internet. Even in Korea, several medical-related information sites are on service, however, there are very few compared with foreign sites. World wide web is popular, and creating the homepage for each hospital is becoming more important. In Korea, the number of homepage of about medicine and medical institutes, is increasing. For the construction of Soonchunhyang University Hospital's Computer Information Network, the authors first investigate Korean medical-related information sites available in internet and commercial network. After researching the authors then construct the Computer Information Network of Soonchunhyang University Hospital. This article is written with the intent of assisting those interested in creating and managing their own computer information network system by means of providing relevant data obtained during this process.
