The Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service has been regularly conducting anesthesia appropriateness assessments since 2018 to improve the quality of medical care in the field of anesthesia and to establish a foundation for the safety management of anesthesia patients. This assessment evaluated inpatients (covered by health insurance and medical aid) who were billed for anesthesia fees over a three-month period from January to March 2023.

Samyook Busan Hospital achieved excellent results in all evaluation indicators, including ▲average monthly anesthesia time per anesthesiology specialist ▲operation of a recovery room ▲pre-anesthesia patient evaluation rate ▲measurement rate of nausea, vomiting, and pain scores in the recovery room ▲proportion of patients maintaining normal body temperature (35.5°C or higher) during and after anesthesia.

This assessment proved that the hospital has established a systematic system for managing anesthesia patients.

Choi Myungseop, Director of Samyook Busan Hospital, stated, "We were able to maintain the Grade 1 rating because all our medical staff are thoroughly committed to the safety management of anesthesia patients," and added, "We will continue to strive to become a patient-centered hospital where local residents can visit with peace of mind."
