Abstract:

Background. About 60% of deaths from treatable conditions are caused by poor health care, while the remaining deaths result from failure to use the health care system. High-quality health systems can prevent 2.5 million deaths from cardiovascular disease, 1 million newborn deaths, 900,000 deaths from tuberculosis and half of all maternal deaths each year. Wasting resources and catastrophic costs are economic side effects of low-quality health care systems. As a result, only one quarter of people in low- and middle-income countries believe their health systems are working well. Purpose – to sum

Healthcare quality criteria and indicators allow the head of the health care facility to clearly orientate in the degree of achievement of targets and improvement of results for patients. Studies of approaches to the formation of criteria and indicators of quality in the conditions of real domestic clinical practice, in particular, dental, are isolated. At the same time, in Ukraine there are no clinical protocols of dental care based on evidence-based technologies, which contain clinical quality indicators.
