[Control of the quality of therapeutic process in hospital departments]

It is recommended to use the following indices for assessing the quality of hospital treatment: average hospital stay, the percent of repeated admissions with one and the same disease, the percent of discrepancy between clinical and postmortem diagnosis with subsequent expert evaluation of each case of death. The departments of surgery also find it necessary to take into account the frequency of postoperative complications, postoperative lethality and average hospital stay of operated patients. The well-founded complaints per 100 hospitalized patients can also be considered as indices.
