However 5-6 bedrooms have many problems related to inpatientsatisfaction and nosocomial diseases. Therefore 4 bedroom is under considering for standardmulti-bed room in Public Hospitals in Korea. This paper tries to prove that adoption of 4 bedroomin Public Hospitals has nothing to do with economic loss which is now an obstacle in adopting 4bedrooms. Methods: 3 Methods have been used in this paper. 1) Comparative analysis betweenmedical insurance fee and service cost for hospitalization has been conducted through literaturesurvey. 2) Scenario analysis has been used for the estimation of inpatient number when 4 bedroomsare adopted in Public Hospitals. 3) Relation analysis between profit and proportion of 4 bedroomin Public Hospitals. Results: Adoption of 4 bedroom as a standard multi-bedroom in PublicHospitals has been proved to have nothing to do with the economic loss of hospitals. Implications:It is necessary to introduce and expand 4 bedrooms instead of 5-6 bedrooms in hospitals for theupgrade of hospital environment and easy control of cross infection in inpatient bedrooms.
