Real estate location is a commonly accepted determinant of red estate value.
This study focus on the medical insurance system of the prescription upon separation of dispensary from medical practice.
The research process is as follows ; the location theory literature is reviewed, and the locational factor of the pharmacy on the medical insurance system of the prescription upon separation of dispensary from medical practice, especially before and after of the introduction of the system.
The major variables that are having a long-term effect on retail business markets and doctor's prescription markets also can be described as location.
Effective decision of the location of the pharmaceutical markets on the medical insurance system may be the most important factor.
Because location is characterized by the long tern investment, where as decisions can be applied in a short period.
The most important factors in location of a pharmacy are population and traffic volume around the location.
They include population size, population density, the number of households, road conditions, traffic conditions.
As you know, Korea has established universal health care, especially with the services of new medical insurance scheme after july, 2000.
The objective of the government was to make sure everyone was covered by an insurance scheme.
The government had to maintain the premium at a low level.
Medical suppliers have also been dissatisfied with the controlled medical fees.
After new medical insurance system was introduced, doctors had to prescribe only for the patients, pharmacists must deal with dispensary medicine only by the doctor's order for the ethical medicine.
Therefore, in the location of a pharmacy, what is important is how much convenient the pharmacy take the doctor's prescription.
Meanwhile, it is required to investigate changes in distribution circumstances of new type, structure and pattern of the pharmaceutical market in the new medical insurance system.
Futhermore, since pharmacy will be located according to the prescription upon separation of dispensary from medical practice.
The positioning and neighboring conditions of medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics will be very important factors in the location of a pharmacy.
The result of this study, the trend of customer's preference, which is more important was their neighboring favorite pharmacy around the near neighboring clinics or hospitals.
"Front-of-a gate Pharmacy" are monopolizing doctor's prescriptions of the hospitals and clinics.
Therefore the good location of pharmacy will be approached in the nearer "Front of gate Pharmacy" at the hospitals and clinics.
But the "Front-of-a gate Pharmacy" at general hospital and big hospital will be disclosed a high risk and a high return.
We now conclude that the good location of the pharmacy-focus on the system of the prescription upon separation of dispensary from medical practice was the positioning location in the medical buildings with ENT, pediatrics, eye clinics, dermatology clinics. etc.
