Korea is currently executing a pilot program for community care of its aging population and aims to implement community care systems on a national scale by 2025. This study examines the traditional Korean medicine (TKM) service to be provided within community care by understanding the current status of TKM services. The Ministry of Health and Welfare (MoHW) sent official letters to 242 local governments (cities, districts, and counties) from October to November 2019 to survey the status of the public TKM services provided in 2018. The items of the survey included basic demographic information as well as information that could reveal how the program was implemented. In 112 local government jurisdictions (response rate 46.3%), a total of 867 TKM service programs were in place. As a result of the survey, it was revealed that they did not have any service manuals or evaluation results. To provide home-care-based TKM service for the elderly as an integrated part of a community care system, it is necessary to develop, distribute, and evaluate a standard service manual including an evaluation index by the central government.
韩国目前正在实施一项针对老年人口的社区护理试点项目，目标是到2025年在全国范围内推行社区护理系统。本研究通过了解传统韩医学（TKM）服务的现状，考察在社区护理中应提供的传统韩医学服务。韩国卫生与福利部（MoHW）在2019年10月至11月间向242个地方政府（市、区、县）发送了公函，以调查2018年提供的公共传统韩医学服务的状况。调查项目包括基本人口信息以及能够揭示该项目实施方式的信息。在112个地方政府辖区（回复率46.3%），共有867个传统韩医学服务项目。调查结果显示，这些项目没有任何服务手册或评估结果。为了将基于家庭护理的传统韩医学服务作为社区护理系统的一个组成部分提供，中央政府有必要制定、分发并评估包括评估指标在内的标准服务手册。
