The normative base and publications were analyzed to review present notions «defect of medical care», «medical error». The absence of unified comprehension of the given definitions in the Russian legal practice was established. The established situation has advantages of pretrial and extrajudicial mode of settlement of disputes (mediation) in case of consideration of conflicts related to medical care support as an instrument directed to quick searching of decision mutually acceptable for both sides, including necessity of compensation of damage done.

The study deals with the administrative and legal principles of the system of health care facilities at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which are an element of medical care for employees of the National Police of Ukraine. It is noted that medical care for police officers is a component of such a common phenomenon as social security for law enforcement officers. It is noted that in the scientific work of researchers call social security also social protection, but the content of these definitions remains the same. It is emphasized that medical care is not limited to the system of medical measures carried out by the health authorities at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it also includes the activities of governing bodies and departments of internal affairs, aimed at health or preventive measures among the staff and the elimination of harmful and health factors, and the Department of Health and Rehabilitation is implementing the state policy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the field of departmental health care. The definition of medical support of law enforcement agencies as a set of organizational, highly qualified forms and methods of medical care, logistics of treatment and prevention, sanitary and epidemiological and other measures, and social security of police is defined as a set of guarantees and legal norms that regulate the activities of police at the expense of the State in matters of social and material security of police in cases of disability, disability, retirement, detection of diseases related to professional duties or other circumstances, which are provided by special laws. The study provides a system of health care facilities at the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the List of health care facilities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine approved by the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (treatment and prevention facilities, sanitary prevention facilities, pharmaceutical facilities, medical commissions MIA).

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the effectiveness of the mediation procedure in the Russian health care and to determining the level of awareness of patients about the possibility of mediation in the resolution of confl ict disputes in health care. Special attention is paid to the positive practice of mediation, by means of which protracted confl icts between medical organisations, physicians and patients are settled, as well as the economic burden on medical organisations to pay material damage to patients when providing them with poor quality medical care is reduced. The author comes to the conclusion that the introduction of mediation in the practice of settlement of disputes arising in the provision of medical care to the population is only at the stage of formation, since patients do not know this mechanism of protection of their rights. Comprehensive measures are proposed for the widespread introduction of mediation in health care.

The contribution of a special library project to a computerized problem-oriented medical information system (PROMIS) is discussed. Medical information displays developed by the PROMIS medical staff are accessible to the health care provider via touch screen cathode terminals. Under PROMIS, members of the library project developed two information services, one concerned with the initial building of the medical displays and the other with the updating of this information. Information from 88 medical journals is disseminated to physicians involved in the building of the medical displays. Articles meeting predetermined selection criteria are abstracted and the abstracts are made available by direct selective dissemination or via a problem-oriented abstract file. The updating service involves comparing the information contained in the selected articles with the computerized medical displays on the given topic. Discrepancies are brought to the attention of PROMIS medical staff members who evaluate the information and make appropriate changes in the displays. Thus a feedback loop is maintained which assures the completeness, accuracy, and currency of the computerized medical information. The development of this library project and its interface with the computerized health care system thus attempts to deal with the problems in the generation, validation, dissemination, and application of medical literature.

The United States Supreme Court declared in 1976 that deliberate indifference to the serious medical needs of prisoners constitutes the unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain…proscribed by the Eighth Amendment. It matters not whether the indifference is manifested by prison doctors in their response to the prisoner’s needs or by prison guards intentionally denying or delaying access to medical care or intentionally interfering with treatment once prescribed—adequate prisoner medical care is required by the United States Constitution. My incarceration for four years at the Oakdale Satellite Prison Camp, a chronic health care level camp, gives me the perspective to challenge the generally promoted claim of the Bureau of Federal Prisons that it provides decent medical care by competent and caring medical practitioners to chronically unhealthy elderly prisoners. The same observation, to a slightly lesser extent, could be made with respect to deficiencies in the delivery of health care to prisoners of all ages, as it is all significantly deficient in access, competencies, courtesies and treatments extended by prison health care providers at every level of care, without regard to age. However, the frailer the prisoner, the more dangerous these health care deficiencies are to his health and, therefore, I believe, warrant separate attention. This paper uses first-hand experiences of elderly prisoners to dismantle the tale that prisoner healthcare meets constitutional standards.
