Methodological approaches to the organization of internal control of the quality and safety of medical activity in a medical organization

The modern stage of functioning of domestic health care is characterized by the formation of regulatory and legal requirements for the system of internal control of quality and safety of medical activity.

One of the tasks of internal control of quality and safety of medical activity is to ensure and assess the compliance of medical care provided by medical workers to the criteria for assessing the quality of medical care, as well as to consider the reasons for non-compliance of medical care provided to these criteria. Requirements to quality criteria, procedures for assessing the quality of medical care, compliance with the established procedure of medical records maintenance and development of measures to eliminate and prevent violations are established by various regulatory documents. At the same time, of great importance for a medical organization is not only the fulfillment of requirements in the field of quality control and safety of medical activity, but also the introduction of an effective system of internal control of quality and safety of medical activity, based on regulatory and legal requirements and giving real results.

It determines the necessity of creating in a medical organization the system of collection and analysis of quality data and development of internal documents, establishing the processes of quality control and assessment of medical care, the methodology of selecting medical documentation for control and assessment of the quality of medical care, as well as the requirements to the results of analysis and documenting of decisions made.

Tsivian on the creation of a system for collecting and analyzing data on the quality of medical care and making management decisions to eliminate and prevent nonconformities, which operates within the framework of the quality management system of medical care of the institute.
