“We have a realistic view of the situation and make our suggestions: what needs to be done to improve the quality of medical care in hospitals and outpatients’ clinics in the region, how to reduce the number of complaints from patients who are often redirected from one institution to another or receive poor-quality medical care,” Igor Ivanov, the Head of the “Centre for Monitoring and Clinical and Economic Expert Examination”, explained to the attendees. — Our approach has been built as follows: a working group whose members are appointed by a regional ministry in charge is formed at the state level in the Russian Federation The group accompanied by the Centre for Monitoring reviews the work of all institutions and documents their weak points. As a result of the full assessment findings the head doctors will be able to organise correct operations within their organisations and the regional administrations will be given a set of criteria to evaluate the work of doctors.”
