| Summary: | This paper is a comprehensive case study
on how the Korean civil registration and vital statistics
(CRVS) system facilitates achievement of universal health
coverage (UHC) in the Republic of Korea. The case study
briefly summarizes the resident registration system - the
main part of the Korea CRVS system - and the health care
system in Korea; it provides an overview of UHC-related
problems from the perspective of three major stakeholders:
patients, providers, and government. It presents case
studies illustrating how the Korean resident registration
number (RRN) system facilitates implementation of UHC in
Korea, including three main areas of health service
provision (prevention, treatment and management, and health
care data usage). It discusses key considerations for UHC
implementation using RRNs, focusing on personal information
protection and use of health care data in UHC
implementation; and, it presents lessons learned and
provides a conclusion of the study. |
