Anatomical and physiological features of the maxillofacial region, the prevalence of pathology determine the implementation of organizational measures, the involvement of narrow specialists, the need for medical organizations in modern material and technical equipment. The indicators of medical care mainly depend on a full-fledged diagnosis, and are also determined by the availability, quality and speed of specialized medical care. In modern conditions of the development of the health care system, an integrated approach to the organization, the introduction of new methods of providing medical care and rehabilitation of patients is required. Optimization of the maxillofacial surgery service within a multidisciplinary medical organization, the introduction and development of an outpatient polyclinic link, the training of highly qualified personnel contribute to improving the quality of diagnosis, treatment and timely detection of pathology. This article presents the results of optimizing the service for providing medical care to patients with pathology of the maxillofacial region.
