ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the deployment types and characteristics of mobile hospitals with it’s historical backgrounds. Methods: Since the disaster can not be classified by country, the scope of the study is to include both domestic and foreign mobile hospitals. In order to minimize the casualties from the field hospitals used at the time of the First World War, which is the mother of mobile hospitals, we analyzed the mobile hospitals which are more compact and changed to the target areas and analyzed the mobile hospitals. Results: Historically, mobile hospitals have been transformed in a way that they are close to the target area and rapidly inject essential elements, and the deployment of wards has evolved to be able to combine in any form with center corridor. In the case of hospitals that can deal with infectious diseases, each treatment room was installed separately to thoroughly separate the copper wire. Implications: As disaster damage increases and incidence increases, field response should be quick. However, research on mobile hospitals, which are indispensable for field response in Korea, has not been conducted in various ways. From the origins of mobile hospitals, the development process is reviewed, and research is carried out to clarify the grounds and backgrounds for the planning of mobile hospitals that are quick and appropriate to the situation in Korea and abroad.
