This paper introduce how to combining the whole package automatic dispensing machine with intelligent storage cabinets at outpatient pharmacy. Furthermore, this paper introduce how to integrated this system with hospital information systems which can provide references for the construction of automatic hospital pharmacy in our country.

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.

PURPOSE: This descriptive study was done to identify effects of perceived organizational support (POS) on job involvement and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in hospital nurses. METHODS: Data were collected from Oct. 1 to Nov. 15, 2011. Participants in this study were 324 nurses working in 6 general hospitals in S, K, and C cities. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. RESULTS: POS was positively correlated with job involvement, and OCB (altruism, conscientiousness, courtesy, sportsmanship and civic virtue). Factors influencing job involvement were POS and marital status, which accounted for 15.7% of the variance, marital status influenced altruism, which accounted for 4% of the variance, POS influenced conscientiousness, which accounted for 10% of the variance, religion and marital status influenced courtesy, which accounted for 6.5% of the variance, age influenced sportsmanship, which accounted for 7.9% of the variance, and POS and clinical career influenced civic virtue, which accounted for 23.1% of the variance. Job involvement mediated on the relation between perceived organizational support and organizational citizenship behavior. CONCLUSION: The results of the study indicate that hospital administrators should explore ways of improve POS for better job involvement, conscientiousness, and civic virtue.

We present a case of hypoxia which occurred during the onset of general anesthesia in a small hospital. It was found that one of the oxygen tank which formed the central pipeline gas supply had been erroneously replaced by a nitrogen tank. Lack of strict observance of Compressed Gas Supply Standards by the gas supplier and the hospital personnel allowed it. We also emphasize that the oxygen analyzer should be counted as an essential monitor in every anesthesia. Oxygen analyzer detects the supply of intraoperative hypoxic gas admixture promptly and effectively.

PURPOSE: This study was to identify the factors determining the turnover intention of nurses in Emergency Department (ED). METHODS: The subjects were 123 ED nurses working at 10 general hospitals in Busan, Korea. The data were collected from August 15th to September 22nd, 2013. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS program through descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS: There were positive correlations between traumatic events experience and post-traumatic stress (r=.416, p<.001), between depression and traumatic events experience (r=.212, p=.001), between traumatic events experience and turnover intention (r=.289, p=.001), between post-traumatic stress and depression (r=.251, p=.005), and also between depression and turnover intention (r=.315, p<.001). Factors influencing turnover intention were depression and traumatic events experience with R2 value 16.7%. CONCLUSION: Considering these results, it seems that the important factors determining the turnover intention of nurses in ED are depression and traumatic events experienced by nurses. Therefore, an active plan is needed to develop strategies for reducing nurses' depression and traumatic events experienced by nurses.

PURPOSE: This study was to investigate the importance of nurses' caring behaviors as perceived by nurses and patients at emergency departments, and to determine the differences between the two groups. METHODS: The subjects of this study were 159 nurses working at emergency departments in 9 general hospitals in B Metropolitan City and 153 in-patients in 6 general hospitals, who were transferred to a general ward after being admitted to an emergency room. Research tool was a self-report questionnaire, which was a translated version of Caring Behavior Assessment(CBA). In this study, Cronbach's alpha was ranged from .83 to .93 in the seven subscale's reliability of CBA. RESULTS: In terms of caring behaviors at emergency departments, both nurses and patients perceived that the most important subscale was . The subscale which showed the least importance from both groups was . CONCLUSION: The results of this study have demonstrated that nurses' caring behaviors can meet the patient's needs if the gap in perceptions between nurses and patients would be reduced.
