Abstract
[영문]Noting the increasing public attention on health care maintenance and the following cost under the long-term low economic growth, Korean society has shown greater attention to the significance of the health technology (HT) development. As a result, the HT attracts various interests in Korea as one of economy growth engines of the next generation. In order to promote HT competitiveness, the role of research-based hospitals (RBHs), in producing new ideas as well as utilizing final outcomes, has grown increasingly significant. Despite high quality health care professionals, state-of-the-art equipment, and well developed information technology, few hospitals in Korea are successful leaders in HT development. In order to understand HT research and development (R&D) programs in Korea as well as hospital-based R&D investment performance, this study has analyzed a recent three-year R&D investment of the Korean government. Also, the R&D performance has been reviewed using a numbers of patents, technical transfers and papers. In addition, a survey on how to promote RBHs in Korea has been proceeded through adopting the Delphi method. Several model cases of RBHs abroad have been also studied to understand key success factors in formulating a development model of RBH in Korea.This study proposes suggestions for the promotion of RBHs in Korea based on the survey and case studies: systematic reform related to the hospitals, reinforcement of the infrastructure of the hospitals, empowering human resources and policy framework to support the hospitals. Regarding systematic reform, concrete leadership and strong commitment of all hospital employees who understand of the value of HT R&D within the hospitals are essential. Other priorities include both a strategic management system to encourage hospital-based R&D, and strong multi-disciplinary collaboration via team approach.

In terms of strengthening hospital infrastructure, capacity building of technology transfer organization, strategic allocation of hospital resources, researcher-friendly integrated information system, and improving clinical trial facilities are required to be RBHs in Korea. In order to empower human resources, the following measurements are suggested; a dual-track system for physicians in which they can develop their career in both research and medical service, exchange programs with training courses between scientists and physicians, and career management programs for researchers and technicians.The most significant requirement is the full support of the government, the support based in social recognition of the value of RBHs in Korea. With legislative backing for RBHs, deregulatory measurements are necessary. Expanded support of the government grant for HT R&D is also requested not only for increased funding but also allowance of longer-term support for R&D. In addition, an inter-government coordination body is suggested for enhancing the efficiency of HT R&D implementation and formulating R&D investment strategy.
