Description
Summary:The national healthcare system guarantees the availability and quality of medical care for all citizens. In medical organization of St Petersburg was successfully implemented since 2007 a uniformed system to estimate the medical services. The aim of this system is to manage the quality of medical services in hospitals, and its cost is proportional. However the system is not used now in specific medical organization (example: tuberculosis treatment). The medical organizations which provide treatment to TB disease usually use epidemiological estimation method but this methodology is not proper for hospitals which serve highdensity populations areas. In this article is described the first experience in implementing the uniformed system to estimate the medical services in TB hospital and to identify the typical doctor’s mistakes. The study provides the assessment of 117 cases. On this article’s basis were then discussed the decisions to prevent other similar mistakes
