This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The purpose of this study is to review the necessity of developing a national health management system for children and to develop a pilot project operation model for the establishment of a health management system for children in the Republic of Korea. We analyzed the medical behavior of pediatric and adolescent patients and the status of medical resources using medical expense claims data and medical institution reports with comprehensive consideration of expert opinions. As a result, participants in the pilot project and participating medical institutions were selected. The main service of the pilot project is to explain customized disease-related information and healthcare methods, and provide services for monitoring and managing the progress of the disease if the pediatrician deems that the target child needs professional educational counseling. In addition, pediatricians should explain the need for regular visit management twice a year to children in need of in-depth education and counseling, and provide additional visit management services twice a year to children in need of additional education and counseling. In the future, consistent and systematic evaluation is needed for the continuous development of the pilot project and the promotion of this project, and the preventive health care of children needs to be continuously improved by modifying and supplementing the service provision system through evaluation.
