Abstract

The new government is implementing Integrated Community Care as a national task in the field of health and welfare, and continuing the previous government's policy, materializing and its legalization is under way. Currently, two bills are pending in the National Assembly and the Ministry of Health and Welfare is drafting another bill, but jurists are not interested in them. The purpose of this article is to approach Integrated Community Care from a legal point of view and to present in what direction the affairs and organizations related to Integrated Community Care should be legislated and reorganized. First, I clarified the background and implications of the promotion of Integrated Community Care and defined the its legal concept as the basis of legislation. In addition to enacting a basic law and reorganizing individual laws as a legislative task for Integrated Community Care, I suggested the direction of legal reform in terms of the connection of integrated care affairs, organization, finance, and administrative plans. Furthermore, as legal tasks for integration and linkage, 1) integration and linkage of medical care and care, 2) improvement of legislation for connection with housing support, and 3) Establishment of Integrated Information System and Standardization of Information were presented. Finally, as community integration care entails a change in the social security system and may cause confusion in legal aspects, it was emphasized again that the state should promote legislation through close review not only in policy but also in related legislation.
