Objectives: To examine the effectiveness of a computer-based Emergency Auto-Consultation System (EACS) in reducing additional LOS caused by specialty consultation. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Data collection and investigation of electronic records gathered during the six months periods before and after the implementation of the Emergency Medical Center residency management program (April-September 2012 and October 2012-March 2013, respectively). The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 18.0 program which uses descriptive statistics, š2-test, t-test, ANOVA, and ANCOVA. Findings: The total number of subjects was 40,578 patients; the control group consisted of 20,982 patients and the experimental group consisted of 19,596 patients. The control group was 50.2% male and 49.8% female. The emergency medicine department was the most common department (36.1%). According to a triage classification tool, semi-emergencies (87.6%) were the most common in the population. Additionally, 99.7% of patients did not receive CPR, and 99.5% of patients did not receive ventilator treatment. On the other hand, the experimental group was 48.4% male and 51.6% female. The emergency medicine department was the most common department (36.6%). According to a triage classification tool, semi-emergencies (85.8%) were the most common in the population. Also, 99.7% of patients did not receive CPR, and 99.4% did not receive ventilator treatment. The control groupās average LOS in ED was 130.53 minĀ±107.87, and the experimental groupās LOS was 114.48Ā±93.42. This indicates a statistically significant shortening of LOS (F=380.450, p<.001). Improvements/Applications: Reducing the average LOS in emergency by reducing the bed occupancy rate and overcrowding will increase patient satisfaction.Keywords

Background/Objectives: This study was conducted to identify the quality of life and fatigue of patients with gastric cancer and to analyze various factors to develop fatigue measuring tools for cancer patients. Methods/Statistical analysis: From October 2014 to February 2015, data were collected from 140 gastric cancer patients at two higher-grade general hospitals in Seoul. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the general characteristics of the subjects, and the relationship between quality of life and fatigue was analyzed using Pearsonās correlation. Findings: The average score of the subject's pain was 16.29Ā±22.32. The mean fatigue score was 23.73Ā±25.79, and the mean quality of life score was 42.02Ā±33.93. Quality of life was negatively correlated with cancer fatigue (r=-.454, p<.001). The quality of life subscale and cancer fatigue were significantly negatively correlated with overall QOL and general health (r = -.295, p < .001), physical factors (r = -.506, p < .001), psychological factors (r=-.352, p < .001), social factors (r = -.406, p < .001), and environmental factors (r = .314, p < .001). Improvements/Applications: This study confirmed the factors related to the quality of life and fatigue of patients with gastric cancer. In the future, we suggest establishing the fatigue factor of Korean cancer patients through more active and careful research.Keywords
