[Organization and quality of home care services after emergency calls in connection with pain in the cardiac area].

Abstract

The results are provided of an in-depth study of the organization, quality and effectiveness of medical care provided at home to persons who referred to medical institutions for cardialgias. It has been shown that the real number of circulatory diseases while considering the complaints such as "pains in the heart area" is considerably less than the number of calls for outpatient home care. The influence is established of the amount and quality of home health care delivery on the effectiveness of outpatient care as a whole in cases of circulatory disease aggravation and of the possibility to reduce the duration of disability in the aggravation cases (and consequently the economic losses) at the expense of improving the medical care quality just at home. The improvement of the organization and quality of home health care is an important reserve for the perfection of outpatient care at large.
