The article based on the consideration of the Russian legal acts regulating the provision of discounts. In the article recommendations are made in respect of paid medical services and voluntary health insurance, with provision of the example of a short marketing plan required for formal reasons of discounts. Currently, the process of providing discounts and medical insurance companies are regulated, and most of the information should be public and posted on websites of medical institutions, insurance companies and their partners, which implement insurance or paid medical services. The increasing complexity of legislation on consumer protection, health and insurance law leads to the formation of new instruments for operations that previously did not require such a formalization. Of course, this leads to an increase in operating costs, not only the cost of creating, storing and placing this information. At the same time most organizations formalize many business processes, previously considered insignificant. Scope of medical care, like no other, attracted the attention of society composed of different groups and strata, some of whom are citizens who want to take advantage of a discount clinic or insurer.

The continued development of the business world today requires companies to have an ‘edge’ to compete with other companies. Any characteristic of the company that gives them an opportunity for growth should be put to good use. The use of information technology should support its operating costs and even increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the company. However, the use of this information technology must be balanced with the readiness of existing resources to operate. Without the support of resources, especially human resources available, the use of this technology would be something that is useless. This thesis aims to assist PT. Grama Bazita in improving the efficiency of existing processes that will ultimately reduce the cost and time. The methodology used in the writing of this thesis is an analytical method which consists of a survey of running processes, analysis of the survey findings, and the identification of the needs of information technology as well as designing a new process which should prove more efficient than the prior business processes. From the analysis, it can be concluded that information technology is one of the factors driving reengineering, as well as the business needs to improve competitiveness.

The reduction of state subsidies, the control of expenditures by insurance companies, the introduction of ethical standards in medicine by health care institutions have increased the demand for additional investment. One of the important factors for increasing the competitiveness of private medical institutions and the sustainability of its activities is the formation of a marketing complex. In order to popularize the services of medical institutions, the main tools of the marketing communication system are used: advertising, public relations and so-called Synthetic means. Medical marketing cannot be considered as just developing good services and delivering it to customers. Medical facilities should also establish close links with existing and future clients. Marketing activities should ensure the creation of new medical services and the development of existing medical services. It is important to increase the role of the state in regulating the medical market in order to promote healthy competition among suppliers and the unwavering improvement of the quality of medical services.

This paper is focused on the theory of sticky costs, created out of researches which pointed to the fact that costs do not act symmetrically in the case of equivalent increase and decrease of the activity volume, as it is implied by the traditional cost theory. Deliberate business decisions, the ones made in order to increase company’s value, as well as opportunistic decisions aimed at the realization of managers' personal goals are found as some of essential causes of cost stickiness. In order to examine the phenomenon of stickiness in the cost behavior of companies that operate in Serbia, we conducted a research on a sample of 917 medium and large companies from manufacturing sector for the period 2007 – 2016. The analysis of panel data pointed to the presence of stickiness in the behavior of operating costs - it showed that they grow by 0.847% as revenues grow by 1%, and they fall by 0.718 % due to 1% drop in revenues. We also found a lagged adjustment to operating costs for changes in operating revenues and partial reversal of stickiness in the period after a revenue decrease.

Статья посвящена анализу качества медицинской помощи, оказываемой населению в рамках системы обязательного медицинского страхования (ОМС), на основе мероприятий страхового надзора над медицинскими организациями. Полис ОМС гарантирует пациентам доступность, качество и своевременность предоставления медицинских услуг. Проверка качества медицинской помощи производится путем осуществления экспертиз и контроля уполномоченными органами РФ по направлениям: законности работы медицинской организации, системности оказания медицинской помощи, результативности и своевременности проводимых мероприятий в рамках оказания медицинской помощи. Таким образом, страховой надзор за медицинскими организациями осуществляется путем соблюдения объема, сроков и условий оказания медицинской помощи, контроля качества медицинской помощи фондами обязательного медицинского страхования и страховыми медицинскими организациями в соответствии с законодательством Российской Федерации. Страховой надзор над медучреждениями осуществляется в рамках ОМС и включает следующие виды страхового надзора: медико-экономический контроль, медико-экономическая экспертиза и экспертиза качества медицинской помощи. Отличительной особенностью современного состояния системы страхового надзора за качеством оказываемой медицинской помощи в системе ОМС является его совершенствование на основе анализа удовлетворенности потребителей медицинских услуг, что позволяет выявить нарушения, которые допущены при оказании медицинской помощи. Причем эти мероприятия способствуют как повышению качества обслуживания застрахованных лиц, так и улучшению репутации медицинских организаций, что серьезно влияет на решения участников программы обязательного медицинского страхования. Повышение ответственности страховых компаний становится важным элементом модернизации системы ОМС. В этой связи актуальным является обеспечение эффективной работы страховых медицинских компаний и медицинских учреждений на принципах конкурентоспособности и повышения качества медицинской помощи, реализуемое с помощью механизмов ориентации на требования потребителей медицинских услуг The article is devoted to the analysis of the quality of medical care provided to the population within the framework of the system Compulsory health insurance (CHI), based on the measures of insurance supervisory over medical organizations. The CHI guarantees patients the availability, quality and timeliness of medical services. Quality control of medical care is performed by carrying out examinations and control by the authorized bodies of the Russian Federation in the following areas: the legality of the work of a medical organization, the consistency of medical care, the effectiveness and timeliness of measures taken within the framework of medical care. Thus, insurance supervisory of medical organizations is carried out by observing the scope, terms and conditions of medical care, and monitoring the quality of medical care by mandatory medical insurance funds and insurance medical organizations in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. Insurance supervisory of medical institutions is carried out within the framework of the CHI and includes the following types of insurance supervisory: medical and economic control, medical and economic expertise and examination of the quality of medical care. A distinctive feature of the current state of the system of insurance supervisory over the quality of medical care in the CHI system is its improvement based on the analysis of satisfaction of consumers of medical services, which allows you to identify violations that have been committed in the provision of medical care. Moreover, these measures contribute both to improving the quality of care for insured persons and to improving the reputation of medical organizations, which seriously affects the decisions of participants in the compulsory medical insurance program. Increasing the liability of insurance companies is becoming an important element of the modernization of the CHI system. In this regard, it is important to ensure the effective operation of medical insurance companies and medical institutions based on the principles of competitiveness and improving the quality of medical care, implemented through mechanisms of orientation to the requirements of consumers of medical services

Of many techniques that are used to optimize production and costs, the studies conducted within a profile company lead to our choice for testing the 6Sigma method (the most used method in the automotive industry) in view of the economic efficiency applied in the wood Industry company. This method measures how many flaws exist in a process and determines in a systematic way how to improve it by technical overhauling and eliminating or minimizing the process for efficiency. This research article aims to study the state of research on the optimization of the production process through technical overhauling for panels reconstituted from solid wood and ways to make production more efficient by cutting costs through technical overhauling. From preliminary research, we estimate that all the items founded and others that will result from further research will result in a significant decrease in production costs that are reflected in the cost of the finished product and consequently in increasing the yield of the company by maximizing its profit. At the same time it may be the basis of future research studies in the field. The easier it is to maximize profits, the lower the operating costs are and the higher recovery rate of investments are, that will result a change in the operating mode: “working smarter not harder”.

ObjectivesThis study wants to assess the cost-effectiveness of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) equipped with automated external defibrillators (AED) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). Especially in rural areas with longer response times of emergency medical services (EMS) early lay defibrillation could lead to a significant higher survival in OHCA.Participants3296 emergency medical stations in Germany.SettingRural areas in Germany.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThree UAV networks providing 80%, 90% or 100% coverage for rural areas lacking timely access to EMS (ie, time-to-defibrillation: >10 min) were developed using a location allocation analysis. For each UAV network, primary outcome was the cost-effectiveness using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) calculated by the ratio of financial costs to additional life years gained compared with current EMS.ResultsCurrent EMS with 3926 emergency stations was able to gain 1224 life years on annual average in the study area. The UAV network providing 100% coverage consisted of 1933 UAV with average annual costs of €43.5 million and 1845 additional life years gained on annual average (ICER: €23 568). The UAV network providing 90% coverage consisted of 1074 UAV with average annual costs of €24.2 million and 1661 additional life years gained on annual average (ICER: €14 548). The UAV network providing 80% coverage consisted of 798 UAV with average annual costs of €18.0 million and 1477 additional life years gained on annual average (ICER: €12 158).ConclusionThese results reveal the relevant life-saving potential of all modelled UAV networks. Furthermore, all analysed UAV networks could be deemed cost-effective. However, real-life applications are needed to validate the findings.
