The economic effect of providing medical care using simultaneous dental implantation by one specialist.

Abstract

The economic effect of the introduction of a new organizational model “dentist-implantologist-orthopedist” is considered. Optimization of work, cost savings of the Ministry of Defense and an increase in the responsibility of a dentist who owns related specialties “Orthopedic Dentistry” and “Surgical Dentistry” were obtained. Purpose: assessment of the economic effect in the provision of medical care using simultaneous dental implantation. Materials and methods. The study was conducted in the dental polyclinic of the AUZ UR “RSP MZ UR” of Izhevsk, Udmurt Republic. The economic effect was assessed by comparing two models of providing medical care in orthopedic dentistry using dental implantation: the first – medical service was provided by two separate teams (1 – surgical care; 2 – orthopedic care); the second – medical service was provided by one team entitled to provide this type of care. Results. The economic effect of providing medical care using simultaneous dental implantation by one specialist allowed to reduce the use of the area of the medical organization, the number of full-time positions of nurses and reduced the costs of the medical organization for consultation. Conclusion. With the introduction of a new organizational model “dentist-implantologist-orthopedist”, an economic effect was obtained by reducing staff positions, reducing wage costs and rational use of MO areas. All this contributes to the optimization of the work of a medical organization, saving the Ministry of Health without reducing the quality of services provided and increasing the responsibility of one specialist for the final result of the treatment at the moment and in the future, which is one of the main factors of a value-based approach in healthcare.
