Methods: The investigation scrutinized various sources including the white paper detailing the activities of the Korean Society for Customized Visiting Health Care, academic conference materials, minutes from general meetings, research papers from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the Korea Health Promotion Institute. Results: The Korean Society for Customized Visiting Health Care has been actively involved in advancing and assessing home-visiting health care services. The society has been focused on developing and evaluating the effectiveness of home visit health care services offered by public health centers. Conclusions: The Korean Society for Customized Visiting Health Care has achieved progress by continuous interaction with field staff, rigorous personnel training, technical assistance, field research, and policy recommendations. In 2024, the home visit health care sector could be advanced and improved using AI technology.

Purpose: In countries with a large elderly population, the integrated visiting health care program for the elderly in communities was effective in preventing frailty and reducing medical expenses. Customized preventive health service is essential in a super-aged society. The purpose of this study is to estimate the number of professionals who perform visiting health care for the elderly. Methods: The statistics for the elderly from Statistics Korea and the Visiting Healthcare Performance Report from Korea Health Promotion Institute were employed in the analysis. The elderly were divided into four groups: healthy, pre-frailty, frailty I, and frailty II, according to their health level. Through the focus group interview, the ratio of nurses, physical activity experts, and nutritionists was set at 8:1:1. Results: Three scenarios were classified into minimum, medium, and maximum according to the number of visits. In the case of Seoul, the number of essential professionals was calculated at least from 719 to a maximum of 1,837. Conclusion: Since this study has a limitation in calculating visiting health care experts only by the ratio of nurses, physical activity experts, and nutritionists, future studies should consider experts or professionals in the field of social welfare, oral health, and visiting treatment.
