The problem of continuity in the provision of medical care as an element of a violation of the rights of the patient with trauma pathology
This article is devoted to the disclosure of the key legislative problems in the implementation of the legal rights of certain categories of citizens – patients with traumatic pathology in obtaining qualified medical care. The choice of the category of patients in this work is not accidental and is due to the fact that today traumatism is one of the main causes of mortality. Disability associated with the consequences of traumatic injuries ranks third in the overall structure of the causes of persistent disability in the Russian Federation and is one of the most important indicators characterizing the quality of medical care to this population. The quality of medical care provided to the population, guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, is affected by the observance and implementation of the rights of patients enshrined in the Federal law «on the basis of public health protection», first of all, the right to access to the required medical care. As a result of the study of this problem, a number of shortcomings of the current legal regulation of certain areas of domestic health care have been identified, which in our opinion significantly reduces the effectiveness of the state policy in the field of health protection of the population of Russia, including in ensuring the implementation of effective medical care for injuries, especially in terms of medical rehabilitation at the post-hospital stage of medical care. The methodological basis of this work was a set of methods of scientific knowledge, social processes and facts, dialectical method of knowledge, involving the study of legal and social phenomena, the method of system analysis, the method of analysis of literary, including st atistical data.
