Medical services and assessment of their results impact
Abstract
The pandemic of coronavirus infection once again emphasized the importance and priority of the development of the social sphere, especially the effective functioning of the health system. Human health is the highest value, it is its prevention, strengthening and recovery after illness that is the resulting indicator of the provision of medical services. The health of the population –public health) is an indicator, the calculation of which is necessary for the analysis and correct prediction of the vector of development of the health system, but in practice its assessment is not always possible. The article analyzes the methods of health assessment. Based on its results, it was concluded that to assess the resulting impact of the provision of medical services (their quality and accessibility), the most acceptable method is an integrated assessment of the health of the population, calculated using the systematization of statistical analysis of health and demography, as well as sociological surveys of the population. Thus, the emphasis in assessing the health of the population should be shifted to the qualitative aspect, therefore, the quantitative assessment methods that exist today should be supplemented with subjective ones that allow assessing factors such as self-care, mobility of an individual, his daily activities, pain (discomfort), anxiety (depression) and many others.
