In modern conditions of global epidemiological challenges, a systematic approach to engineering (design) and reengineering (redesign) of treatment and diagnostic processes in hospitals acquires a special role for the state healthcare system.In this case, the focus of special attention to the management of hospitals is solving a task of organizing the treatment of patients with COVID-19 in the absence of proven clinical practice and dynamically modify the corresponding information flow, as well as the need for optimization of resource support and enhance its efficiency in the face of strong growth in the number of new cases and lack of standard solutions for the reorganization of hospitals, especially of non-infectious profile.In the paradigm of the systemic approach, effective management of the treatment and diagnostic process is not possible without a deep analysis of all its elements: from the moment the patient is admitted to the hospital until the completion of the treatment process. The recency of COVID-19 and the lack of clinical practice for the treatment of these patients have predetermined the need to develop comprehensive standards of clinical processes and their automation. It is the way of organizing the process to achieve the target state of the patient that forms the requirements for infrastructure and resource provision.The article presents the experience of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine in organizational and informational support of the process of diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19.
Standardization is one of the most important tools for ensuring the quality of medical care. The paper presents analysis results of a number of existing federal and regional standards that regulate the processes of providing medical care, which confirm the need and expediency of developing internal standards for diagnostic and treatment processes (DTP) in a medical institution. The authors also formulate requirements for their minimum content. The importance of the effective implementation of the developed internal DTP standards necessitates the development of a methodological approach to standard execution support and analysis.The approach presented in the article is methodically based on the use of modified operogrammes, which allow taking into account the DTP specifics and resource equipment of a particular medical institution. The authors propose key areas for standard execution support and possible forms of implementation in information systems, as well as basic directions for standard execution analysis with integral indicators for assessment of those standards.Approbation of the developed methodological approach was carried out on the example of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine in terms of DTP standard execution support and analysis in relation to ordering laboratory, instrumental tests and consultations at various stages of the patient treatment process. The results of the approbation confirmed that the introduction of the methodological approach increases the effectiveness of the implementation of the developed DTP standards in the activities of a medical institution, and also ensures the achievement of a number of important systemic management effects.
Introduction. The dramatic increase in the cost of treating patients with spinal cord injury is associated with the currently accepted active surgical tactics, as well as the use of new technologies, more expensive implants. Currently, a standardized method for calculating the costs of treating patients has not been developed, which may in the future lead to an incorrect assessment of the economic effectiveness of a particular treatment strategy.Aim. To assess the cost of diagnosis and treatment of patients with spinal injury of the thoracic and / or lumbar spine in a multidisciplinary emergency hospital.Materials and methods. The study was carried out in the Clinic of Emergency Neurosurgery of the N. V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine, Moscow Healthcare Department during 2018–2021. A working group was formed from the doctors of the neurosurgical department. Further, a model of the therapeutic and diagnostic process was compiled with a reflection of all its characteristics: 1) compilation of a mo dified operogram, 2) transformation of the operogram into a technological map, 3) comparison of the obtained characteristics of the process of diagnosis and treatment of patients with spinal injury with actual data, correction.Results. The operogram included 136 steps of the process from the moment of admission of a patient with spinal injury to the emergency department to the moment of discharge (surgery is the 77th step), and also reflected the interactions of 38 participants in the process and took into account the variety of possible methods and tactics of treatment, taking into account the average frequency of their use. Based on the developed process model, a technological map was prepared, which combined quantitative parameters for all key resource characteristics of the process.Conclusions. Hospital costs for the treatment of a patient with isolated complicated spinal injury at the level of the thoracic and lumbar spine in a specialized hospital amount to 600,652.41 rubles. Out of the total amount of expenses, surgical intervention costs amount to 48.7 %.
Currently, the issues of improving the quality of medical care and the effectiveness of management are in the focus of attention of heads of medical organizations. Obviously, for the successful management of any complex object, it is necessary to understand the principles of its operation and have a formalized description (model).This article presents the experience of systemic implementation of the organizational and methodological approach developed by the authors to the description and standardization of the treatment and diagnostic processes of a multidisciplinary hospital.When writing the work, the methods of system analysis and synthesis were used. Analyzed and systematized the successful experience of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine on the introduction of the developed organizational and methodological approach into the current activities of a medical institution, as well as the results of its approbation in more than 270 complex medical and diagnostic processes, surgical interventions, active methods of treatment, instrumental and laboratory diagnostics.The article defines the most important principles for the formation of small groups, the basic values underlying their work, the main motivational factors for the participation of doctors, as well as critical factors for the success of the implementation of the organizational and methodological approach. The experience of its phased implementation is considered: from the processes of the admission department to the processes of medical and intensive care departments; as well as implementation features in the description of diagnostic profile processes.Based on the results of the implementation of the organizational and methodological approach at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine, a conclusion was made about its universality and applicability for any medical institution.In the conclusion of the article, recommendations are formulated for the systemic organization of implementation in a medical institution of the organizational and methodological approach developed by the authors to the description and standardization of treatment and diagnostic processes.
