It can provide important implications for increasing the usefulness of welfare technology-based care services. Method Quantitative and qualitative research were conducted in this study. First, through the Ministry of Health and Welfare, a survey was conducted on welfare services using ICT in 17 metropolitan and 228 local governments nationwide. In addition, based on the survey, 11 local governments were selected for in-depth analysis in consideration of the size of the region and the diversity of technologies used, and focus group interview was performed twice for the working-level officials in the local government. Results and Discussion Almost half of the local governments have provided welfare technology services in the form of public-private cooperation in early 2022.Considering the services that are planned to be implemented in the near future, the increasing trend of welfare services using ICT by local governments is expected to continue for the time being. The main purposes of ICT-based care services were safety (40.8%), care (27.2%), and loneliness (25.6%). The biggest policy effect was the increase in user satisfaction (66.4%). This study also reveals that welfare technology per se does not bring about innovative change in care services. Instead, innovation of the welfare technology service depends on how it is planned and operated in response to the various challenges of the local community. It was confirmed that the increase in technology-based care services at the local government level has been revitalizing public-private cooperation, especially between the public and the for-profit sector. Finally, this study proposes a comprehensive public case management model based on welfare technology in community care, considering governance in public-private partnerships, and the critical role of the government. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
