On September 6, 2017, a working meeting of the participants of the Project “Introduction of the Roszdravnadzor’s Proposals on organization of internal control of the medical activities’ quality and safety in medical organizations” was held in the Federal Service for Supervision in Healthcare under the guidance of Mikhail Murashko, the Service Head.
The Roszdravnadzor’s Proposals have been evaluated in 16 regions of the country for already a year and a half. The main goal of the project is to organize internal control of the quality and safety of medical activities in accordance with the unified criteria, creation of conditions for continuous perfection, improvement and development of the medical organization.
The Roszdravnadzor’s recommendations offer a unified approach to generation and functioning of internal control and management of the medical activities’ quality and safety in medical organizations. The key methods include the patient targeting, process approach, risk management, continuous quality improvement, and others.
“The main task of today’s meeting is the preliminary summing up of the results of implementation of Roszdravnadzor’s practical recommendations”, Michail Murashko addressed those present at the opening of the event. “The ideas that we outlined at the conference “Medicine and Quality” as early as two years ago, have become currently overgrown with your talents and proposals”.
In medical institutions, which proved to be proactive and where the patient’s priorities were given pride of place, people feel that they are the most important participants in the medical care project. This is the absolutely correct approach to work.
We have made a decision to take the lead in generation of internal control in order to reduce the number of claims to the medical organizations proper, and to show to the patients the kind attitude that can be created, and to encourage a feeling in each health care practitioner that he is needed in the team.
“I believe that the Roszdravnadzor’s proposals, which are introduced today, together with the Project “Sustainable Out-Patient Hospital”, give rise to a new direction in the perception of medical care by the RF population”.
Then the Roszdravnadzor Head told the audience about the principal development directions of the healthcare system, the results of the analysis of medical care quality and availability for the population over the last two years; voiced the main problems causing concern in the population in the regions; the criteria that determine the availability of medical care and its standardization; the principles of introduction of the risk-oriented approach to control and supervisory activities and internal quality control in a medical organization.
