What are the standards of treatment in medicine?

Modern medicine allocates a huge amountdiseases and pathological conditions. Unknown five to ten years ago, the diseases are now being studied as a result of improvements in diagnostic manipulation and success in treatment. However, the flow of new, yet unexplored diseases, does not stop. This state stimulates the medicine to constant improvement.

But do not forget about the studied ailments, soas their level not only does not decrease, but also has a tendency to increase. Such diseases have long passed the research stage, and today only from time to time methods of their diagnosis and treatment are modified. For these standard diseases, special treatment standards are provided. They are developed with the participation of leading specialists in these sections of medicine, followed by periodic adjustment and refinement.

Why do we need treatment standards?

First, they provide a high leveltherapeutic manipulations, thanks to the proven effectiveness of the current schemes. Secondly, they are strictly regulated (approved) and are controlled.

Medical standards of treatment arescheme-the list of medical measures, the conduct of which is mandatory in the detection of this pathology. Such requirements are not presented to one particular hospital, but are common to all public clinics.

The presence of such schemes determines a high levelmedical care both on the ground and in the whole country. This is because the doctor, having identified a particular disease, does not treat as he sees fit (right or wrong), but performs it according to the established protocol.

Unlike Western countries, in today's Russiathere are federal standards of treatment, which are controlled not only by the supervisory authorities of the Ministry of Health, but also by the insurance services, since compliance with approved schemes and protocols confirms the correctness of the treatment. In a different situation, when an insurance event occurs, the correctness of the treatment and appointments of the doctor is questioned.

Standards of treatment, as well as any changes in themare brought by the administration to the heads of the departments, who, in turn, inform about the changes of other doctors of their branches at the planned meetings. For the application of other tactics or treatment schemes for diseases, it is necessary to conclude a consultation on the effectiveness of the proposed manipulations (appointments). In case of confirmation of the reliability of the high efficiency of the proposed schemes, additional study and introduction of treatment standards into the database are conducted.

The introduction of standards wasUnification of uniform treatment regimens, diagnosis and prevention of common diseases among the population. In addition, the use of such schemes has made it possible to get rid of unnecessarily prolonged treatment, which can be caused both by the illiteracy of the doctor and by his insufficient experience.

As a result, after administration to medicinestandards, the processes of diagnosis and treatment of diseases significantly accelerated, which caused a decrease in the duration of rehabilitation and optimization of the preventive health care system of medicine.

Thus, the standards of treatment guaranteeliteracy of manipulations and appointments. Unification of the treatment regimens allowed to achieve the same high level of medical manipulations, regardless of the patient's social status, as well as the location of the health care institution (that is, the treatment regimens in the clinics are the same for residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, and for residents of any other cities of the Russian Federation).
