[Efficient use of the hospital bed capacity].

The development of rather precise methods for determining the efficiency of health service activity as well as the measures directed to maintain and to strengthen the population health is extremely difficult but very important task. However till now the problems of using the medical resources more effectively, the choice of well-founded criteria and indices, the ways with the help of which they are obtained and the methods of their assessment are studied not enough. The systemic analysis of efficiency of using the RF AF medical service hospital bed fund conducted in the State Institute for physicians' advanced training showed that its evaluation should be based on the analysis of three main parameters: the provision and need of the treated contingents for the hospital beds. It will allow to determine the correspondence of available bed capacity to the total number of contingents treated; the number of patients treated in hospitals taking into account the possibilities of the institution; the quality of the rendered medical care.
