Coming from the axiom that the interests of the provider and the consumer of the service should intersect, it becomes clear that the greater area of crossing, the better analysis and prognostication of necessities of population in a certain medical service can be provided, and thus, the competitiveness of medical establishment rises and the patient’s trust to the clinic increases. Therefore, to make more efficient the work of a medical establishment, it is necessary to coordinate the criteria of quality of granting the medical services and the similar set by a consumer. The elements of a function of medical services quality are considered in the article, and the mathematical model of quality of medical services is represented. This function is determined through the relationship between the major criteria of quality of processes of granting and receiving the medical services.
