Abstract

Purpose: Process management is the activity which manages all procedure of construction by representing visually interrelation of operation or sequence setting. The purpose of this study was for reducing treatment period and higher efficiency of treatment through application of PERT/CPM (Program Evaluation & Review Technique/Critical Path Method) in dental clinic. Materials and methods: The patients were selected for study who needed more than 2 departments' cooperation for prosthodontic treatment in Wonkwang Dental University Hospital. Control group is composed of the patient's whole treatment plan, treatment period, numbers of hospital visit, treatment costs, treatment results. On the other hand, experiment group contains the patient's virtual treatment data based on PERT/CPM technique. We applied PERT/CPM in operation analysis. Results: Treatment period, numbers of hospital visit was decreased as 18.1% and 15.3% when we applied operation analysis based on charts. Also treatment cost in experiment group was 0.9% economized compared with control group's treatment cost. Conclusion: Application of PERT/CPM in dental clinic can achieve reliable treatment and reduced treatment period and establish plan of minimum treatment cost.

목적: 공정관리는 프로젝트 완성에 필요한 작업에 대해 순서 설정 및 작업의 상호관계를 시각적으로 표시하여 완료에 이르기까지의 과정을 분석, 관리하는 활동이다. 이 연구의 목적은 치과임상에 있어서 공정관리 기법 중 PERT/CPM (Program Evaluation & Review Technique/Critical Path Method)을 이용하여 치료기간의 단축 및 치료의 효율성을 증진시키기 위함이다. 재료 및 방법: 원광대학교 치과병원 보철과에 내원한 환자 중 2개과 이상 타과와의 협진이 필요한 보철치료 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 대조군은 초진에서 치료 종료까지의 진료기록부를 분석하고 실제 치료기간, 내원횟수, 진료비용으로 구성되며 실험군은 PERT/CPM 기법을 이용하여 작성한 가상의 공정표상 치료기간, 내원횟수, 진료비용을 포함한다. 본 연구는 공정관리 기법 중 PERT/CPM을 적용하였다. 결과: 진료기록부를 토대로 작성한 공정표와 가상의 PERT/CPM 공정표상에서 18.1%의 치료기간 단축과 15.3%의 내원횟수 감소를 나타내었다. 진료비용에 있어서 PERT/CPM 공정관리 기법을 통하여 0.9%의 비용절감이 이루어졌다. 결론: 치과 임상에 PERT/CPM 기법을 도입함으로써 치료의 신뢰도를 높이고 치료기간을 감소시킬 수 있으며 최소비용의 치료계획의 수립이 가능하다.
