다중이용시설에서의 응급환자 보호에 관한 현행 법률의 연구

Purpose: Our country has seen a rapid increase in economic growth, national land development and planning. As a consequence, cities were enlarged and became densely populated. Public facilities were also increased to adequately serve the increasing population. Within the past 10 years, a lot of accidents in public facilities have occurred but the legal foundations for emergency medical care and systems for these public facilities may be lacking. Methods: From the current domestic laws, we defined the public facilities and the enrolled laws that govern these facilities. Adequacy of the enrolled laws were then analyzed using 7 reference points: education for all employees, education for security employees, education for customers, arrangement of medical persons, arrangement of security person, equipment for emergency care and penalty. Results: There were 17 enrolled laws and only ‘Juvenile Activity Promotion Act’ fulfilled most of the reference points except for 2; the arrangement of medical persons and penalty. Fifteen of the enrolled laws fulfilled less than 3 reference points. Conclusion: In the current domestic laws governing public facilities, almost all of them practically lacked policies addressing emergency care and systems.
