Summary:

• Analysis of federal statistical data (Form №30) from 2014-2023 revealed significant performance improvements.
• Key indicators show increased availability of emergency care beds (2.84 to 6.25 per million population) and higher hospitalization rates (0.8 to 2.51 per 1000 population).
• Average patient stay decreased from 1.05 to 0.63 days, and bed turnover improved from 262 to 332 days, despite a decrease in average bed occupancy.

Impact:

• The modernization efforts have demonstrably enhanced the efficiency and capacity of in-patient emergency medical care.
• Findings provide valuable data for policymakers and healthcare administrators evaluating emergency service performance.
• The study highlights successful strategies for optimizing in-patient emergency care delivery in a large federal system.
