The purpose of the study is to identify and characterize the most typical conditions and factors affecting the organization of medical care and medical evacuation of victims of terrorist attacks based on the study and analysis of the experience of eliminating the medical and sanitary consequences of terrorist acts committed on the territory of Russia with the use of explosive devices and conventional weapons. Materials and methods of research. The materials of the study were: normative and methodological documents regulating the organization of medical care and medical evacuation during terrorist acts; dispatches and reports of the territorial centres for disaster medicine on the elimination of medical and sanitary consequences of 162 terrorist acts, including 6 terrorist attacks with the capture and holding of hostages committed in 1998-2010; documents of official correspondence of the All-Russian centre for disaster medicine Zashchita on issues of medical support of the population during terrorist acts; scientific papers and publications on the research problem. When performing the research, the following methods were used: historical, content analysis, statistical, and analytical. Research results and their analysis. The following issues were considered during the research: - means of conducting terrorist activities and their application specifics; - high degree of vulnerability and damage to the population; - the nature of the object where the terrorist act was committed; - sanitary losses and their characteristics; - psychological situation, capture and holding of hostages, the presence of a threat to their lives; - terms of elimination of medical and sanitary consequences of terrorist attacks; - the needs and capabilities of medical organizations (LMO) of the regions in delivery of medical assistance to victims of terrorist attacks; - needs and capabilities of LMO of the regions in medical evacuation; - features of the organization and conduct of measures to eliminate the consequences of terrorist acts. Based on the results of the analysis of the experience in liquidation of medical-sanitary consequences of terrorist attacks, as well as analysis of basic conditions and factors influencing the organization of medical care and conduct of medical evacuation, the methodical approaches are suggested: to comprehensive assessment of conditions and factors typical for terrorist attacks with use of explosive devices and conventional weapons; to use of medical-and-evacuation characteristics of victims in the organization of medical care and conduct of medical evacuation; to increase the readiness of the regional health sector in facing the challenges of liquidation of medical and sanitary consequences of terrorist attacks.

In recent years, the healthcare system has been considered by researchers to be a high-risk area, with registered diseases above the average level compared to other economic activities. This leads to high rates of permanently reduced efficiency and premature mortality. In the present study, we looked for the determinants of negative changes in the health status of employees in pre-hospital medical care, which in addition to socio-economic, are related to the work environment and the work process. The main guidelines for really overcoming these negative trends are: occupational health activities such as creating adequate regimes of work and rest, healthy and safe working conditions, health promotion and the unifying details of the Unified Health Integrated Dossier [UHID]. This occupational medicine dossier, developed as a module of "cloud structure" of E-health in Bulgaria, allowed the study of the health status in dynamics for a retrospective period of medical and non-medical specialists in two large diagnostic counseling centers [DCC] in Varna. It was found that in the structure of momentary disease for the two DCC in the first place are diseases of the eye and its appendages – 221,74%, followed by diseases of the circulatory system -101,45% and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue by 28,99%. UHID with occupational medicine orientation is useful both for the employers and for the control and expert structures for assessment of the health status under specific working conditions in pre-hospital medical care. The study is supported by the National Scientific Program "e-Health in Bulgaria" [2018-2020], incl. and with financial support for participation in international scientific forums.

A survey of appointment breaking in the Medical Clinic of the Boston Children's Hospital Medical Center showed that approximately 20% of patients broke their appointments. These patients were more likely to have shown evidence of social disorganization. Personal physician care appeared to lower the broken appointment rate although there appeared to be an irreducible minimum which in either the personal physician clinic or in the private office was a cancellation. Additional gaps in medical care noted in those who broke their appointments included inadequate immunizations, dissatisfactions with medical care, and ill-defined need to see a physician.
