THE PROBLEM OF QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF HEALTH CARE AT THE ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
Ectopic pregnancy according to the number of diagnostic errors, especially at an early stage, ranks first among gynecological diseases. To improve the quality of medical care for patients with ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to reduce diagnostic errors, especially at the prehospital stage. This can be achieved through an objective assessment of the quality of medical care, the identification of defects and their elimination by a competent organizational approach. A retrospective study of the quality of medical care and its defects at the prehospital stage in patients undergoing ectopic pregnancy was carried out. The study included 194 patients. In all cases, the quality of medical care was assessed. In the beginning, existing criteria for assessing quality were used. Then, to solve the research problem, special criteria were developed. The study showed that the existing criteria for the quality of care for ectopic pregnancy do not allow to give an objective assessment of it, because they do not meet their aim. Evaluation of the quality of medical care in ectopic pregnancy by means of the developed criteria allows to assessing its timeliness, correctness and the degree of achievement of the result, which corresponds to the purpose of the examination. The obtained information as a result of the assessment allows to making the informed decisions to improve the quality of medical care in ectopic pregnancy.
