[Work time losses of medical personnel at a rural medical center].

Proceeding from the study of the work of medical personnel at the rural physician's station, a set of recommendations has been developed. They involve improvement of management of medical facilities at the rural physician's station, planning and information supply, outpatient and inpatient care, labour organization and vocational training of the staff, raising efficacy of preventive work. Application of the above recommendations help us decrease significantly inadequate work time losses and increase the share of the main types of work of the medical personnel. Thus, it is shown that work efficiency of medical staff can be raised and health care delivery to the rural population improved.
