Dic#: [미국의 병원] 지역병원, 개방병원 (hospital director, hospital administrator)


지은이: 김일훈(재미 내과 전문의, 의사평론가)

※ 메모:

지역병원(Community Hospital)은 AHA(미국병원협회)의 정의에 의하면 "연방병원이 아니고, 단기입원(평균 30일 이하)을 누구나 할 수 있는 일반병원을 말한다. 전국병원의 약 80%가 여기에 속하고, 2003년도 현재 4,908개 병원이 있다. 연방병원은 전적으로 재향군인과 군인을 대상으로 한 병원이며, 그중 많은 곳은 의과대학과 제휴되어 있다.
지역병원에서도 지역 개원의의 주도로 일반환자를 입원시키는 곳은 개방된 민간병원이고, 대부분이 비영리단체이다. 여기엔 '메이요 클리닉' 등 세계적으로 유명한 곳도 있고 교회단체가 설립한 유명병원이 많다. 지역병원 중에서 전국에 산재한 카운티(郡)병원과 시립병원 그리고 일부의 주립병원(대부분의 주립병원은 주로 장기치료를 요하는 정신과병원이며, 지역병원에 포함되지 않는다) 등 공립병원은 주로 저소득층을 위해 설립된 병원이다. 따라서 공립병원은 빈곤계층의 구제역할을 하는 안전망(Safety net) 병원이라는 이미지가 정착되어 있으며, 그 중에는 뉴욕의 킹스카운티와 시카고의 쿡카운티병원 등 유명병원도 있다.
일반 민간인에게 단기입원이 공개된 지역병원은 전국에 4,908개 있어 인구 1만 명당 병원수가 1.7이 되며, 이들 병원은 도시(55.8%)와 시골(44.2%)에 골고루 분산돼 있다.
지역병원을 경영주체별로 분류한 병원은 다음과 같다(Hospital Statistics 2003 by AHA).
 △ 민간지역병원(교회 등 비영리단체설립) 2,998
 △ 공립병원(주립병원, 市 郡등 지방자치 단체설립병원) 1,156
 △ 민간영리병원(주식회사 등 영리단체 설립) 754

■ 개방병원과 의사
의사와 개방병원은 고용관계가 아니라 계약관계에 있다. 그러나 진료에 관한 한 주요 문제의 결정은 병원을 이용하는 모든 의사들 권한에 속해 있고, 따라서 미국 개원의의 최대 강점은 병원을 장악하고 있다는 점이다.
  • 공립병원의 최고위 책임자는 행정책임자인 병원장(Hospital Director)이고 그 밑에 COS(Chief of Staff, 의사책임감독관)가 있다.

    _ 군대와 비교하자면 Director가 국방장관 격이라면 COS는 참모총장이다.
    _ COS는 모든 진료업무에 병원장 재가를 받지만, 주체세력(의사)을 대표하고 그들에 영향을 미친다는 장점이 있어 병원장에게 겁을 주는 존재이기도 하다. 따라서 상하관계인 데도 불구하고 항상 알력이 있기 마련이다.

  • 민간병원은 병원운영책임자인 행정관(Administrator)과 외부의 개원의 대표자로 선출된 COS가 최고위 직책이고, 민간지역병원은 관료적인 기관이 아니기 때문에 COS 발언권이 더욱 크다. 그들 의견이 충돌되는 주원인은 운영책임자인 행정관이 적자모면을 최우선으로 하는 반면, COS는 비용에 관계없이 최고의 기술과 진료를 하려는데 있다.
과거 의료수가제(fee for service) 시기와는 달리 보험회사는 관리의료 계약환자에 대해 병원과 계약한 제한된 서비스를 의사들에게 강요하고, 진료통제에 의해서만 비용절약이 가능하기 때문이다. 최종적인 의사와 병원사이의 권한에 대해서는 이미 법원과 연방정부에서 내린 명백한 판례가 있다. 병원에서의 의사특전(privilege)과 실력 즉 질적 캐어 능력을 평가하는 책임소재는 전적으로 병원당국에 있다고 판시한 바 있다. 즉 병원당국에게 의사들 주장을 뒤엎을 수 있는 권한을 부여하여 의사들을 통제할 수 있게끔 되어 있다.
그러므로 비용문제만이 아니라 제반사항에서 행정관, 의사모임, 병원이사회는 항상 긴장관계에 놓일 수밖에 없지만, 결국 비용절약과 대외적 위신을 유지하는데 있어 병원과 협조해야만 하게 되어 있다.

Dic# writ in water, write on water

자료 1: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/179500.html

Here lies one whose name was writ in water

Meaning: Fame, and indeed life, is fleeting.

Origin:
A version of the words originate from Beaumont and Fletcher's play Philaster, 1611:
"All your better deeds Shall be in water writ, but this in Marble."
In the better known form 'writ in water' they appeared in Keat's Poetic Works, 1821.

Keats travelled to Rome and died there, aged just 25, in February, 1821. He told his friend Joseph Severn that he didn't want his name to appear on his tombstone, but merely this line:

"Here lies one whose name was writ in water."

Severn honoured that wish, as the gravestone shows - Keats is commemorated just as 'A young English poet'.

Keats's Grave - New Protestant Cemetery, Rome

THIS GRAVE CONTAINS
ALL THAT WAS MORTAL OF
A YOUNG ENGLISH POET
WHO
ON HIS DEATH-BED
IN THE BITTERNESS OF HIS HEART
at the malicious power of his enemies
desired these words to be engraved
on his tomstone
"HERE LIES ONE WHOSE NAME
WAS WRIT IN WATER"
FEB 24 1821


자료 2: writ in water, http://riowang.blogspot.com/2010/03/writ-in-water.html

(... 전략) However, the best example of the adage’s new interpretation is Keats’ epitaph in the Protestant cemetery in Rome. This bitter epitaph announces that the young poet, embittered by his evil enemies, only wanted to have written on his tomb: Here lies one whose name was writ in water.

“This Grave contains all that was Mortal, of a Young English Poet, Who, on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart, at the Malicious Power of his Enemies, Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water.”

English history of literature holds that this saying can be reduced to a verse in Beaumont and Fletcher’s Philaster (1611) – All your better deeds Shall be in water writ – and alludes to the vanity of all noble efforts. However, if we also take into account the complete history of the adage from classical times through Erasmus to Spenser, then the inscription suggests just the contrary: the eternity of the poet’s oeuvre, triumphing over everything transitory and evil in this world.

Dic# hourly employee, salaried employee

자료 1: The Korea Times

한국에서 봉급 생활자를 가리키는 말로 널리 쓰이는 '샐러리맨(salaryman)'은 '봉급(salary)을 받는 사람'이라는 의미가 될 수 있지만 맞는 영어 단어는 아니다. salaryman을 영영사전에서 찾아 보면 아예 찾을 수 없거나, 있다고 하더라도 a Japanese white-collar businessman(일본의 봉급 생활자)이라는 설명을 볼 수 있다. 즉, '샐러리맨' 역시 일본식 영어라서 한국과 일본에서만 영어처럼 쓰이는 말이다.
  • 영어권에서는 '봉급 생활자'를 office worker, salaried employee 혹은 company employee 등으로 부른다.
  • office worker는 말 그대로 '사무직'으로 일하는 사람이며 '샐러리맨'에 가장 근접한 말이다. business person 또한 사무직으로 일하는 사람인데, 보통 office worker보다 직급이 높은 간부급 직원을 가리킨다.
  • Salaried worker는 '정규직'으로 근무하는 사람이며,
  • company employee는 정규직뿐만 아니라 편의점에서 일하는 사람이나 건물의 경비원(security guard)등 시간제로 일하는 사람(hourly worker)까지 포함한 모든 '피고용자, 직원'이다.
'샐러리맨(salaryman)'의 올바른 영어는 office worker이다.


자료 2: About.com (1, 2, 등)
  • A Salaried Employee is paid annually. Salaried employees are usually supervisory, managerial, or professional employees who work on an annual basis and are not paid an hourly rate. Salaried employees are typically considered to be exempt from overtime pay. That is, they work to fulfill the duties of the job.
  • An hourly employee is paid on an hour-by-hour basis. Pay for an hourly employee is calculated as hours worked times rate.Hourly employees are also considered to be eligible for overtime, according to federal law, if they work over 40 hours in a workweek. In contrast to hourly workers, salaried employees are paid an annual salary and are considered to be exempt from overtime.
  • Exempt employees are employees who, because of their positional duties and responsibilities and level of decision making authority, are exempt from the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
    Exempt employees are expected, by most organizations, to work whatever hours are necessary to accomplish the goals and deliverables of their exempt position. Thus, exempt employees have more flexibility in their schedules to come and go as necessary to accomplish work than non-exempt or hourly employees.
    Exempt employees are most often found in managerial, supervisory, professional, administrative, and functional leadership roles such as marketing or product development.
    Much attention has been directed at the appropriate classification of exempt employees since revised overtime rules were signed into effect in August, 2004. While many exempt employees, reclassified as non-exempt employees, gained the ability to earn overtime, others, such as team leaders, lost their overtime pay eligibility as newly exempt employees.

자료 3: 약업신문, 미국 시장 진출하기

(전략)... 미국의 임금 체계는 exempt 와 non-exempt로 되어 있어서 연봉을 받을 경우는 exempt employee 라고 해서 주당 40 시간을 일하던 60 시간을 일하던 정해진 연봉을 받는다. 하지만 시간 당 급료를 받는 non-exempt 인 경우 철저하게 일한 시간만큼 급료를 받고 혹 10 분 이라도 넘어 가면 회사에 따라 조금씩 다르지만 분 또는 초과 시간 단위로 1.25-1.5 배까지 더 주어야 하는 것이 미국의 노동법이다. 만약 non-exempt 점원이 8 시간 30 정도를 하루에 일한다면 이중 30 분은 회사가 급여를 지급 안하는 개인적 점심 시간이다. 이 점심 시간에는 계산대에 손님들이 줄을 길게 드리우고 기다리고 있어도 매니져가 점심 휴식을 취하는 점원에게 일을 하라고 요구 할 수 없는 시간이다. 돈을 안주면 일을 안한다라는 철저한 미국인의 사고 방식인 것이다. 미주 한인 업주가 종업원에게 오버 타임 보상을 안해주거나 제대로 휴가를 주지 않아 미 노동국에 고발 당하는 것을 미주 한인 신문 지상에서 가끔 보는데 미국의 노동법은 상당한 법적인 구속력을 가지고 있기에 미국에 진출하는 지상사들이 현지 미국인을 고용할 경우 특히 신경을 써야 하는 부분이다. 후에 지상사가 꼭 알아 두어야 할 노동법에 대해 자세히 애기하도록 하겠다.

Converting an hourly employee to salary. What should I know?
It seems a dedicated employee always puts in a few extra minutes here and there based on need and their own personal dedication to her job. I then get concerned about the extra pay, etc.and have no real way to track. I felt a salary alleviate this. I was looking to have it be a little more than normal and add health insurance. I hadn't had a salaried employee before and wondered if there are things I should consider first. Basically, she would be moved to a managing then position. Thoughts?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
first make sure their job classification justifies being labeled as 'salaried'. There are restrictions on who can and cannot be classified as salaried (otherwise everyone would be considered salary and the company would never have to pay overtime). Since you say they will be moved to a manager position, you should be ok to do that.

next realize that by moving them to salaried, they are not eligible for overtime. So if they work a lot of OT, they may not like being salaried. But on the flipside, you should realize that as a salaried employee they also get paid the same no matter what. So if they only work 7 hours insteat of 8, they still get paid the same. So it works both ways.

Other than that, there's really not a whole lot else to consider. The biggest issue will be lack of overtime pay...you say they work extra and you're concerned about extra pay. Unless you increase their pay when you do this, they may end up making less money since they won't get any overtime.
