CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO SYSTEMATIZATION OF METHODS FOR ESTIMATING THE QUALITY OF MEDICARE

Abstract

Methodology of estimating the quality of medical care is offered. On the basis of generalization of world experience and new authorial developments on original quadrupole model of process of estimating the quality of medical care is offered. A model consists of four clusters which contain four criteria for estimating the quality of medical care and corresponding indeces for the analysis of these criteria. Clusters have been presented as an integral estimation of quality of medical care, technological, methodological and estimation of quality of medical care on separate additional criteria. The detailed description of clusters and indeces has been accordingly given.
A particular attention has been paid to the mathematical design of processes of estimating the quality of medical care. Indisputable advantages of the worked out quadrupole model are simplicity of its introduction and availability for understanding by medical personnel.
