| Summary: | Introduction. Fragmentation and segmentation of structures and functions negatively affect the timeliness of medical services, contribute to the deterioration of their quality, and the difficulties of ensuring an integrated approach in planning and providing medical care in modern health care systems. Scientists, experts, the medical community, and governments of countries choose the concept of coordination and integration in the health care sector as an alternative, in particular, regulatory integration as a unifying link of integrated and coordinated medical care at the macro, meso, and micro levels of health care system management.
Aim. To study the regulatory and legal principles for the implementation of coordination and integration in the health care sector of Ukraine.
Materials and methods. 20 regulatory and legal documents and 16 scientific literary sources on the topic of the research materials were selected. Content analysis and generalization methods were used.
Results. It is shown that at the regulatory and legal level in Ukraine, the principles of integrated and coordinated medical care have been introduced in the types of "emergency medical care", "primary medical care", in the areas of rural medicine, financial support for medical care, strengthening the capacity of hospital districts and in the public health sector. Professional integration is supported by regulatory framework for the standardization of medical care and the functioning of multidisciplinary teams of specialists and experts. At the same time, there is no complete holistic approach to the normative regulation of integration and coordination, in particular, between types of medical care (primary and specialized), between emergency medical care and the public health sector, as well as regulatory support for the formation of a single information space between different sectors, levels and types of medical care.
Conclusions. Regulatory integration in the healthcare sector requires improvement in terms of regulating the activities of digital infrastructure, developing primary health care as a coordinator of medical services, integrating public health into all levels and types of medical care. |
