Abstract

Aging societies have an increased need for care services. To solve the problem of care, we suggest community care, through which medical services are provided that meet individual needs. Korea provides care services in advance of the community care project and implements quality control to improve the quality of these social services. Therefore, this study aims to compare and analyze the factors affecting user satisfaction in care services in both 2013 and 2016. We analyzed secondary data from 2013 and 2016 collected by the Social Security Information Service. These data include standardized metrics for the quality of care. Based on the evaluation indexes for care service in 2013 and 2016, we used commonly used indexes for analysis. Specifically, non-profit organizations were influenced by sales, accounting management, lifetime tenure rate, etc., while for-profit organizations were affected by number of users, contract termination, etc. In addition, on-site evaluation had a negative effect on the change rate of user satisfaction. Therefore, in order to increase satisfaction with care services, evaluation indexes by service type should be diversified and differentiated. In addition, field evaluations related to user satisfaction should be performed in order to provide care services appropriate for local characteristics.
