The cooperation was pursued to help people with disabilities search for the welfare services they need and support their use. To that end, the two sides agreed to combine the Korea Social Security Information Service’s capabilities in the social security information system with the Korea Disabled People’s Development Institute’s expertise in disability welfare.
Through this cooperation, the two organizations set as a goal to improve access to welfare information. The aim is to strengthen the support system so that people with disabilities can more easily find and use welfare services.
As the law on integrated support for local care, including medical and nursing care, took effect in March this year, community-based integrated care is now under way in earnest. Using this memorandum as an opportunity, the two organizations agreed to strengthen service linkage for people with disabilities and establish a cooperative system to support integrated care on the ground.
The two organizations will pursue three major areas of cooperation: strengthening the support system for guidance, linkage and use of services for people with disabilities; training and educating specialized personnel for integrated medical and nursing care for people with disabilities; and data-based analysis of demand for disability welfare services, along with research and policy support. The cooperation focuses on exploring ways to link information and data so that people with disabilities can more easily identify the welfare services they need, and on working together to strengthen service guidance systems such as Welfare Membership.
The two organizations plan to improve accessibility so that the process leads from information provision to actual service use. Accordingly, the cooperation will proceed in a way that strengthens guidance systems and accessibility so that people with disabilities can identify the welfare services they need and move on to actually using them.
In addition, the two organizations will cooperate in training specialized personnel for integrated care and support online education using the Korea Social Security Information Service’s e-learning system. They will also jointly develop educational content needed on the ground and work together on training specialized personnel for integrated medical and nursing care for people with disabilities.
They will also jointly pursue service demand analysis using data related to disability welfare and jointly conduct research on institutional improvements. Kim Hyeon-jun, head of the Korea Social Security Information Service, said it is important to closely connect the information and expertise each organization holds, and expressed his intention to pursue the establishment of a dense support system so that people with disabilities can receive guidance on the services they need in a timely manner and use them.
Kim Jeong-yeol, head of the Korea Disabled People’s Development Institute, pointed out the need to prevent situations in which people with disabilities cannot use necessary services because they do not know about welfare service information, and described this as an important task. He added that, to address this, the two organizations will combine their expertise and establish a system that makes it easy to find and use the services needed after disability registration.
