Finding a Solution to Socio-Economic Problems of Medical Care

The chapter is devoted to the study of some socio-economic problems of medical care. This topic is quite relevant due to the fact that currently in our country, optimization and modernization processes have been taking place over the past years in the medical environment and the environment of medical education, the ultimate goal of these processes being achieving a significant quality of medical care to patients. The objects of the study were 200 patients of the Voronezh City Emergency Hospital and Voronezh Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1. All of them were divided into 2 groups depending on gender: 84 men were included in group 1, 114 women in group 2. What was special about this study was the inclusion of only patients with chronic pathology suffering from it for at least 5 years. This moment was used for the patients to give a proper assessment of the changes taking place in the country. The basis of the study was a questionnaire specially developed by the authors, which includes both general questions about the patients' gender, age and the disease they were diagnosed with, as well as special ones concerning awareness of the optimization and modernization processes in medicine in recent years. At the same time, an interesting peculiarity of the study was an attempt to identify the main problems not only of a medical, but also of a socio-economic nature that arise when providing medical care to patients, as well as determining the main vectors of medicine development in general.
