The Role of the Branch Unified Standards of Medical Technologies in Ukrainian Public Health System
Abstract
The history of development of medical standards in Ukraine started from the late of 1 1980s when on the wave of economic innovations, a number of local medical facilities standards have been produced. Their practical use, however, led to obtain not only positive but also negative experience such as a lack of uniform criteria, scientific and methodological substitutions of standards creation did not allow to carry out of the comparative evaluation of medical facilities activity and to undertake analysis of medical and economic effectiveness of standards use. The technological standards had various levels to guarantee the medical care quality providing by comparable medical facilities, The modem world practice accepts the use of institutional (medical facilities) standards under one condition: they should correspond to the state standards, Where possible the local standards may comprise extra medical services, more comfortable accommodation for patients, etc., but their level should never be lower of the state medical standards, The creation of unified standards of medical technologies relating to inpatient care is a staged process.
