    Endovascular surgery and interventional radiology is the most modern technologies in interventional medicine. The standardization of endovascular methods is the main condition for application in practice.
    Materials: Reports of the main specialists on X-ray and endovascular diagnostics and treatment of MZRF and MZ of the Moscow region. Regional medico-economic standards (MES) for endovascular treatment of diseases are developed and implemented by the Ministry of Health of the Moscow Region in 2012-2014. The results of the work showed a significant increase (6,4 times) of the performed endovascular procedures for various diseases in medical organizations involved in the implementation of the Moscow region Medical Insurance Program. This made it possible to increase the efficiency of the work of cardiology, surgery, oncology and gynecology departments, to reduce hospital mortality from acute myocardial infarction in vascular centers from 22 in 2012 to 7-8% in 2015, and mortality from cardiovascular dis¬eases in the Moscow Region from 878.5 in 2012 to 680.5 in 2015 per 100 thousand of the population. The opening of 10 catheterization centers in the Moscow region, the introduction of MES treatment of patients with acute coronary syndrome according to routing, ensured the effective hospitalization of patients in "invasive" centers from 2% in 2012 to 82.8% in 2015. The standardization of the endovascular methods of treatment leads to an increase in the use of hospital beds, improved routing of patients' flows, provision of endovascular care of patients.

  • 2021 № 9 Current issues of evidence-based management of state and municipal health care.

    The topic of evidence-based management is relevant due to a significant increase of managerial innovations in medicine, healthcare commercialization, changes in approaches to the use of evidence sources in healthcare and high commercial, investment, social and reputational risks of poorly evidence-based decisions. The article deals with awareness and practical use of the evidence-based management approach among the executives of budgetary medical cites. The results of the first Russian study of evidence-based management among health care managers are presented, in particular, their awareness of the evidence-based approach, attitude to evidence-based management practice, and the sources of information used by them are studied.
    The purpose of the study is to investigate the existing practice of applying evidence-based approaches in the management, awareness of the approach, it’s application in practice, drawing conclusions about the factors influencing managerial decisionmaking, and making recommendations for their improvement.
    Materials and methods. The study of the management practice of heads of medical organizations was conducted using an online survey. The general part of the questionnaire included questions about the demography of respondents, their management experience, education, and the size of the organization. The special part assessed: respondents ‘ awareness of the approach; their attitude to the evidence-based management practice; sources of information when making decisions. Their opinion on the role of corporate culture in the formation of evidence-based management practice was clarified.
    Results. Only 17% of managers use an evidence-based approach in practice, and only 5% use at least six sources of information for this purpose. The popularity rating of information sources is presented as follows: own experience 81%, consultations with external experts 60,3%, internal data of the organization 56,9%, scientific data 38%, the opinion of colleagues 36,2%. Most managers consider the use of data in practice to be the most difficult in making managerial decisions. Only 31% of healthcare managers regularly summarize their managerial experience. The majority of respondents, 75.8%, recognize the important role of corporate culture in forming the habit of making decisions on an evidence-based basis, but also assess the organization’s resources for making informed management decisions as insufficient. Only 20,7% of respondents rated the degree of the organization’s learning ability and its readiness for changes as high.
    Conclusions. Further improvement of the practice of making managerial decisions on an evidence-based basis is possible due to the informatization of healthcare and the development of the corporate culture of municipal medical organizations. Evidence-based management practices should be integrated into the trajectory of continuing medical education of healthcare managers in order to improve the efficiency of the industry.
