Abstract

Keeping pace of development of the Russian health care system requires improving the efficiency of spending. In developed countries, an important role in this task plays a multilevel system of evaluation and control of cost-effectiveness and results of operations of the health system and its individual members, supported by the use of evaluation findings in political and administrative decisions in the health sector, financial incentives and information support of participants in the evaluation. Effective today in Russia, the system for monitoring the effectiveness of the health system is largely a formality and does not meet modern political tasks. The most acute problems in assessing the effectiveness of the country include the lack of evaluation of individual elements, first of all, health technology assessment; the poor quality of data collected, the weak development of mechanisms for the implementation of evaluation results, in particular, the development of public policies promoting health care providers, informing the public about the quality of services provided. The aim of the present work is the development of basic mechanisms for assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Russian health care system, taking into account the best international and domestic experience.
