The purpose of this study was to evaluate the migration of medical image data stored thorough mini-PACS to full-PACS at Yonsei University Medical Center (YUMC). The image data to be migrated were 2.7 TB stored through approximately 4,500 CD archives at Yongdong Severance hospital and 4.7 TB (2:1 compression) stored through 196 digital linear tape (DLT) archives at Severance hospital. Prior to carrying out the migration, principles, methods and expected practical affairs for the migration were discussed and planned to optimize the migration work by considering the cost and the effectiveness of migration work. Migration gateway workstations were set up and a migration software tool was developed. Real migration works were performed based on the results of several migration simulations. Severance hospital decided to migrate all stored image data. The CD image data of 2.7 TB were estimated total 2,250 hr (about 94 days) migration time, but the practical migration work was completed within 3 months by using maximum 5 workstations. The DLT data of 4.7 TB were estimated total 100 days migration time by applying 16 hr working time per day with single workstation, however, the practical migration work was taken 5 months. Meanwhile, 20% of the DLT image data were not able to migrate because the DLT were partially damaged due to frequent access. In conclusion, a migration plan should be carefully prepared by considering the individual hospital environments because the server system, archival media, the network, and the policy of data management may be unique.

2.Cancer Registry Program at the Cancer Institute in Korea University Medical Center.
Journal of Korean Society of Medical Informatics 1999;5(1):125-130
The Cancer Institute of Korea University Medical Center has developed Web version of cancer register program which is add on and revised information registry to the already existing government supported program. The previously registered government supported program gives too little information to use as either follow-up or therapeutic purpose, which leads to the necessity of newly developed program. This program consists chiefly of two parts of information to input. The first part consists again of two subparts; one part contains the same information that the already existed government supported program, and the other the necessary information of groups of hospitals and/or organizations. The second part consists of patient's additional or follow-up information that is necessary for studying or managing by clinician. The second part which is soly for clinician, who is taking care of cancer patient, can be organized by his own way for himself using varieties of combinations of group codes. All the data input and output for analysis can be done in Web basis.

7.Nurses' Perception of Barriers to Research Utilization.
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2000;30(5):1347-1356
The present study is a descriptive study to investigate nurses'perception of barriers to research utilization. A total of 274 participants in this study consisted of registered nurses working in a large, urban and academic medical center. A questionnaire packet containing the Barriers Scale, and a demographic profile was distributed to nurses and they were asked to return the packet to a return-box in the Nursing Office after completion. The greatest barrier was insufficient time on the job to implement new ideas. Next was `implications for practice are not made clear'. Also the item of the English language in research articles was considered to be the ninth barrier. The greatest mean score of each of the sub-scales was the communication factor. The were followed by the organization, research, and nurse factors. Compared with the means from other studies, the mean scores of the communication and research factors were higher in this study. Nurses who had not taken a class of research methods found the communication and research factors as a higher barrier than those who did. Also, nurses who did not participate in a conference last year perceived the research factor as higher than those who did. It is recommended that English and research classes should be strengthened in educational nursing programs. The researchers should also describe the section of implication for practice as more detail and clearer for the understanding of nurses; Lastly journals in a libraries or online journal systems should be easily accessible.

BACKGROUND: There are two variations in the attention subitem of the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE): 'serial 7's subtraction and "sam-chun-ri-gang-san" backward. At a scale of one to five, they can be used interchangeably, which inevitably brings a considerable difference in results. Thus, we compared the scores of the 'serial 7's subtraction' and the "sam-chun-ri-gang-san" backward and analyzed the influence of sociodemographic factors on the differences. METHODS: We administered the Korean MMSE including the two types of attention item: serial 7's and "sam-chun-rigang-san" backward to 239 community-dwelling elderly people aged 65 or older in Kyung Hee University Medical Center and four Seoul senior centers and analyzed the difference from June 2012 to July 2012. RESULTS: The score for "sam-chun-ri-gang-san" backward (2.5+/-2.1) was lower than that of the serial 7's (3.4+/-1.7) by a mean point of 0.9+/-1.9. The score of "sam-chun-ri-gang-san" backward was zero in 31.4% of the subjects. However, only 9.6% scored zero on the serial 7's. The ratio of the same scores between two tasks was 36.0%. Education was the primary source of variance on difference score, followed by the number of family. There was no significant effect of age or gender when the score of difference was analyzed by multiple regression. CONCLUSION: In this study, subjects tended to outperform the serial 7's in general. Upon administering "sam-chun-rigang-san" backward instead of serial 7's due to the preference of the patient, we should take into account that the score of "sam-chun-ri-gang-san" backward was 0.9 point (mean value) lower than serial 7's to ensure appropriate interpretation of MMSE score.
