ABSTRACT
Rebuilding a health care delivery system is one of the most important tasks the Korean health system is facing. Health institutions need to each establish their own appropriate roles in rebuilding the system. Community clinics should act as institutions providing primary care services. Small/medium-sized hospitals should act as community general hospitals or shift their functions to specialized care hospitals. Large hospitals should treat inpatients with severe status and act as education and research institutions. Infrastructure reform is an essential component of rebuilding the system. Reimbursement for health institutions and copayment of patients should change from a cost-based system to a value-based system. It is also important to support the facilitation of cooperation between clinics and hospitals. The classical image of a health delivery system is that of a pyramid (vertical) structure. However, the WHO suggests that a health delivery system should be a network structure. Within this conceptual framework, a community clinic should act as a hub of coordination among health-related community resources. The balance between benefits and drawbacks is essential to adjust among conflicting interests while rebuilding the system.
