[Criteria of quality evaluation of treatment process in hospital departments]

One of the indicators for the evaluation of hospital departments activities envisage the distribution of discharged patients according to the results of treatment: cured, improved, no changes, worsening of the condition. Usually differences arise in defining the indicator "cured". This indicator could be used if besides the recovery and compensation of the affected functions a sick list is closed or would be closed soon after discharge. For non-working population and children account must be taken of restoring the ability to work and behaviour affected by the disease. Among those discharged from the hospital in the fourth quarter of 1988--cured accounted for 34.1 percent, improved--60.4, those with no changes--5.4 and worsening of the condition--0.1 percent.
