“…Державною політикою визначено концептуальні підходи щодо вдосконалення стратегічного управління охороною громадського здоров'я в Україні в умовах існуючих глобальних викликів [2,3,5].…”

“…Україні зараз потрібна така система управління громадським здоров'ям, головною метою якої було б повне забезпечення можливості збереження здоров'я кожної людини в рамках державної програми медичних гарантій. Функціонування такої системи має базуватися на принципах медичної та економічної ефективності з позицій комплексного підходу й системного аналізу [5,6,9]. Враховуючи принцип множинності опису кожної системи, ми розглядали аспекти діяльності закладу охорони здоровʼя, створюючи різні варіанти входів і виходів, зокрема, таку модель: вихід -надання медичної послуги, вхід -ресурси та інформація.…”
