Optimization of the activities of medical organizations providing primary health care requires the development of new organizational and functional models. The introduction of new approaches to organizing the activities of medical organizations is primarily a step towards patients. The new model is a patient-oriented medical organization, the management of which is based on the use of a process-oriented approach and «lean» technologies. Since 2019, within the framework of the federal project «Development of a primary health care system,» a project has been launched to introduce the «New Model of a Medical Organization Providing Primary Health Care». The implementation of the project is scheduled for 2019-2024 inclusive. The creation and replication of the «new model» is planned for the participation of all subjects of the Russian Federation. The introduction of lean technology methods in the work of medical organizations has reduced the waiting time for doctors, optimized the burden on doctors, reduced the time for obtaining research results, streamlining the process of moving a patient within a medical organization. The creation of an effective quality management system in medical organizations is achieved through the phased implementation of lean-technology.

Self Harm

Abstract. Background: Indigenous Australians experience a suicide rate over twice that of the general population. With nonfatal deliberate self-harm (DSH) being the single most important risk factor for suicide, characterizing the incidence and repetition of DSH in this population is essential. Aims: To investigate the incidence and repetition of DSH in three remote Indigenous communities in Far North Queensland, Australia. Method: DSH presentation data at a primary health-care center in each community were analyzed over a 6-year period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2011. Results: A DSH presentation rate of 1,638 per 100,000 population was found within the communities. Rates were higher in age groups 15–24 and 25–34, varied between communities, and were not significantly different between genders; 60% of DSH repetitions occurred within 6 months of an earlier episode. Of the 227 DSH presentations, 32% involved hanging. Limitations: This study was based on a subset of a larger dataset not specifically designed for DSH data collection and assesses the subset of the communities that presented to the primary health-care centers. Conclusion: A dedicated DSH monitoring study is required to provide a better understanding of DSH in these communities and to inform early intervention strategies.
