The relevance of the study is due to the insufficient development of improving the structural component of the quality of medical care in terms of the cultural characteristics of the participants in their provision. The purpose of the study: to determine the contribution of the patient's culture factor to ensuring the quality of medical care of different profiles. The collection of material was carried out by the method of sociological survey of patients on the original questionnaires and the method of expert assessment of cases of medical care. The volume of the sample population formed by random selection amounted to 256 patients of dental profile, 320 therapeutic, 196 surgical (urological), 210 pediatric profile, respectively. An expert assessment of the quality of medical care was carried out according to the methodology that takes into account the implementation of its individual properties, for 984 cases of assistance. It is established that the quality of medical care is reliably influenced by the state of the cultural profile of patients. It was found that the assessment of the patient structural component of the quality of medical services without taking into account their profile was reduced to 40.6% relative to the maximum assessment, especially the characteristics of the sanological and information culture of the patient. The analysis of the role of patient cultural characteristics in the formation of the structural component of the quality of medical services showed the presence among them of characteristics that have a significant impact on the decline in the quality of services. The revealed differences in the value of the relative risk of the same patient cultural risk factor for reducing the quality of medical services in their different profiles substantiated the need to differentiate factors into high-risk and low-risk. The basis for managing the culture of patients should be measures to transform low gradations of cultural characteristics of patients into high ones, through medical information and education, socio-psychological counseling, patient education and the formation of behaviors focused on the preservation and promotion of health.

The mission of the emergency medical services is to promote and support a system that provides timely, professional, and state-of-the art emergency medical care, including ambulance services, to anyone who is victim of a sudden injury or illness, at any time or location and at any phase of the emergency incident. These phases include lay people’s prevention and preparedness, occurrence of the problem, its detection, alarming of trained responders, help provided by bystanders and trained pre-hospital providers, transport to the appropriate hospital, and, if necessary, admission or transfer to a more appropriate hospital. In order to meet the goal outlined, emergency medical services must work closely with local and state officials—fire and rescue departments, other ambulance providers, hospitals, and other agencies—to foster a smooth functioning network. The term emergency medical services evolved to reflect a change from a simple system of ambulances, providing only transportation, to a system in which actual medical care is given at the scene and during transport. Medical supervision and/or participation of emergency medicine physicians in the emergency medical services systems contribute to the quality of medical care. This emergency medical services network must be capable of responding instantly and reliably around the clock, with well-trained, well-equipped personnel linked, as needed, through a strong communication system. Research plays an important role in conserving resources and improving the delivery of health care. This chapter gives an overview of the different aspects of emergency medical services and calls for high-quality research in pre-hospital emergency care in a true partnership between cardiologists and emergency physicians.

This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue of quality of medical care. The main purpose of the research is to analyze the quality of medical care in dispensary №1 of municipal non-profit enterprise «Shostka city center of primary health care» and determine recommendations for its improvement in the context of «MEDSTAR» medical information system implementation. The research methods authors used in the article were systematic analysis, comparative research, and patients’ survey. As the information sources, the authors used internal documentation of the dispensary № 1 (data for September 2018) and its electronic documentation from the MEDSTAR medical information system (data for September 2020). First, the authors analyzed and compared the number of patients who visited the dispensary №1, and the number of patients visited by doctors at home in September 2020 and September 2018. Second, the authors determined the number of referrals for examination issued to patients in September 2020 and September 2018. Third, the authors surveyed the patients on their satisfaction with the quality of medical care. The results of the research showed that the total number of patients’ visits at the dispensary №1 decreased by 32.4%, and the rate of home visits decreased by 5.12% in September 2020 compared to September 2018. The same situation is with the number of referrals for examination. In September 2018 763 patients got referrals for further examinations, and in September 2020 the number of referrals was 169. The survey showed that patients are dissatisfied with some aspects of the quality of medical care, particularly, with the automation of medicine, focus of medicine, as well as with the conditions of appointment and accessibility of conventional medical services. In total, the results of the research helped to highlight problems in the work of family doctors caused by healthcare reform and medical information systems implementation which reduce the quality of medical care. The recommendations for problems solving were suggested. The authors’ research will be useful for further research in the quality of medical care.
