Aim. This study describes the development features of telemedicine technologies in Moscow. For this purpose, authors analyzed publications, regulatory acts, and experience of the Telemedicine Center of Center of Medical Prevention of Moscow Healthcare Department, including its work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Telemedicine Service for Patients with Coronavirus Infection (the Telemedicine Center of Moscow Healthcare Department) began operating in Moscow. The service provides telemedicine doctor-patient consultations in the following areas: management of patients with coronavirus infection, participants in a clinical trial of Gam-COVID-Vak vaccine, and visitors of Moscow Health pavilions. Doctors and patients communicate via the Telemedicine Information System that is accessible either through a mobile app or a browser. To access patient medical records, doctors use the Unified Medical Information and Analytical System of Moscow. To develop the specialized skills necessary to provide remote medical consultations to Moscow residents, a doctor of the Telemedicine Center receives further training, including workplace internships.

Background. The performance assessment of medical organization’s activities has taken on great significance as the whole world tends to implement the model of value-based healthcare and the system of compulsory health insurance is focused on increasing the financial support of medical organizations. Purpose. To analyze methodological approaches and to design a performance indicator system for medical organizations. Materials and Methods. The author conducted the content analysis of research articles on the study topic published in the Russian Science Citation Index, and analyzed statistical and accounting data of Moscow polyclinics providing primary health care to the adult population from 2016 to 2021. Results. The author analyzed the methodological approaches of Russian researchers and practitioners to assessing the performance of medical organizations and to choosing the relevant performance indicators. Based on a thorough approach to selection, a set of performance assessment indicators was created by analyzing the performance of Moscow polyclinics providing primary health care to the adult population from 2016 to 2021. The recommendation is to use the developed indicator system for rating medical organizations in order to improve management process and to achieve desired outcomes.

Background. The problem of adherence to medical recommendations is always relevant. Low adherence or nonadherence to treatment has negative clinical and economic effects, such as influence on treatment success, prolongation of disease duration, increased risk of hospitalization, negative outcomes, and increased mortality risk. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of using the RX Observatory digital platform on adherence to treatment with Etoxydol (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine malate) in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI). Materials and methods. Medication adherence was studied in patients with CCI who visited doctors in three Moscow city polyclinics using the RX Observatory digital research platform and digital questionnaires. Results. The study found that 47% of patients fully adhered to the prescribed medication. Adherence was higher if the medication was prescribed by a medical specialist (general practitioner – 36 %, neurologist – 56 %), although adherence to medical recommendations was higher among patients visiting general practitioners (general practitioner – 48 %, neurologist – 43 %). Conclusions. The study showed that the RX Observatory platform may be a useful tool for developing medication adherence in patients taking Etoxydol (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine malate).

Russia and other countries report an increase in the incidence of malignant neoplasms, and approximately 10 % of all oncological cases have hereditary background. Molecular genetic testing in patients with diagnosed malignant neoplasms and a suspected hereditary factor will help to select effective modern methods of treatment and prevention of the development of neoplasms of other localizations. According to the study, 12,6 % of patients had hereditary cancer syndrome, which allowed to administer molecular genetic tests to patients’ relatives. Consequently, it becomes possible to detect hereditary cancer risk factors, improve the efficiency of clinical examination, elaborate and implement programs for prevention and early detection of the disease.

Laparoscopic intracorporeal suturing (LIS) is one of the key skills in laparoscopic surgery. LIS training is conducted in simulation centers and is aimed at transferring the knowledge into practice. The simulation training (ST) is focused on the development of skills that allow surgeons to perform LIS operations. However, this goal is not completely achieved: only 44,0 to 72,2 % of surgeons implement LIS skills in their practice. There is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of such training programs and analyze factors that may influence the results. This evaluation is required to increase the effectiveness of LIS trainings and implement the acquired skills into practice by training surgeons. According to commonly accepted approach to evaluation of training programs suggested by D. Kirkpatrick., the method of effectiveness evaluation allows to estimate the practical results achieved by all trainees. Unfortunately, there are no commonly accepted methods aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of LIS training programs. The existing methods estimate the results of effectiveness evaluation in simulation (Dry lab) or practically, but in small groups. Effectiveness evaluation of LIS trainings implementation in surgical practice among all trainees is related to significant financial costs and complexity. A new effectiveness evaluation method of LIS simulation training programs (the Method) has been suggested. It is aimed at evaluating the total amount of results and other ST effects, as well as analyzing individual factors that can influence training results. The Method includes a survey among ST participants. It has been applied to effectiveness evaluation of LIS simulation training program at Educational and Accreditation Center of the Botkin City Clinical Hospital. The survey showed that 88.9% of surgeons attending the LIS training program implemented their knowledge into practice. The suggested Method allows to evaluate the effectiveness of LIS simulation training and its implementation into practice among all trainees, analyze factors that can influence the training results and use the obtained results for further improvement of the training program and its methods. The Method may be recommended for implementation at medical simulation training centers.
