On applying “economical technologies” in children’s polyclinic

Objective. To analyze the work of children’s polyclinic within the framework of the projects “Economical Production”. An active prevalence and introduction of “economical production” concerns different spheres of human productive activities including office processes, service, management, social sphere and healthcare service.

Materials and methods. The project “Organization of entering stream of patients, visiting a district pediatrician at reception days for conditionally ill children” was realized as the first one aimed at improvement of work of children’s polyclinic.

Results. In April 2017, “economical technologies” in the sphere of community health protection were introduced in Perm Krai to improve the most problematic processes in the activity of polyclinics. “Economic technologies” help to raise the availability, quality and safety of medical care at the expense of creating optimal logistics of patients’ streams, organization of ergonomics of working space, effective use of medical technique and equipment. An important element of success regarding the “economical production” is involvement of workers in improvement of processes as well as devotion of the head of organization to design work. It was shown at the example of children’s polyclinic how the improvement projects were realized; the standards of the improved processes of other medical institutions were introduced.

Conclusions. One of improvement projects, its stages and the list of countermeasures for elimination of the causes of the revealed problems is described in details; the results of the other realized projects are presented. The major part of solutions regarding the improvement within the framework of “economical production” in the sphere of public healthcare are organizational and do not require additional material costs.
