“…The second and third schemes have been planned and will be implemented by 2016. Since 2008, 11 regional cardio-cerebrovascular centers (RCCs) have been under operation [4,5]. The goal of the currently implemented RCCs include: (1) establish a system which provides treatment 3 hours within the occurrence of a CCVD case anywhere in Korea; (2) provide CCVD prevention management through community promotion activities; and (3) mitigate regional treatment gaps.…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate longitudinal changes of the utilization of operational and surgical medical care inside and outside a metropolitan area over 10 years, analyzing the residential areas of patients and the locations of medical facilities for major cardiovascular surgery.MethodsData analysis was conducted by classifying the addresses of patients and the locations of medical care facilities of metropolitan cities and provinces, using data from the National Health Insurance Corporation from January 2003 to December 2013.ResultsThere is serious concentration of major heart surgery to medical facilities in Seoul; this problem has not improved over time. There were differences in percentages of surgical procedures performed in the metropolitan areas according to major diseases. In the case of Busan and Daegu provinces, at least 50% of the patients underwent surgery in medical facilities in the city, but there are other regions where the percentage is less than 50%. In the case of provinces, the percentage of surgical procedures performed in medical facilities in Seoul or nearby metropolitan cities is very high.ConclusionPolicies to strengthen the regional capabilities of heart surgery and to secure human resources are required to mitigate the concentration of patients in the capital area. Many regional multi-centers must be designated to minimize unnecessary competition among regional university hospitals and activate a win-win partnership model for medical services.
