The most effective in terms of diagnosis and treatment of diseases of various organs and systems is specialized medical care. This is very important especially in cases where the patient is really threatened by a serious pathology.
About specialized care
This option of providing medical services is the most effective. This is due to the fact that in this case the patient will be led by experienced medical specialists who deal with diseases of only a certain anatomical region or pathogenetic nature. Thanks to this type of help, it is possible to:
- timely diagnose the most complex pathology options;
- assign the patient the most effective treatment regimen;
- hold a consultation between specialists on the rational provision of medical care.
Thus, specialized medical care is the most reliable way of managing patients with severe pathology.

Each of these doctors treats only certain types of pathology. Moreover, in some cases, the patient can be led by specialists of several profiles at once.
Clinical center of specialized types of medical care
Similar institutions are available in many regions of the Russian Federation. They imply the presence in its structure of all the main specialized departments, including:
- Cardiological.
- Neurological
- Gastroenterological.
- Urological.
- Nephrological
- Gynecological
- Ophthalmologic.
- Otorhinolaryngological.
- Pulmonary.
- Allergic.
Psychiatric, narcological, infectious and TB services are provided in separate specialized hospitals. This is due to the need to maintain the confidentiality of the treatment in some and the risk of developing infectious diseases in patients with somatic pathology in the second case.
Organization of specialized medical care
In all regions, there is a position of chief freelance specialist in each of the areas of highly specialized medical care. He is entrusted with the duties of monitoring the activities of specialist doctors. In addition, he organizes the implementation of those standards and requirements that are developed in the Ministry of Health.
The main freelance specialists are engaged not only in coordinating activities, but also are reporting, including statistical, on the functioning of the services entrusted to them in the region.If necessary, they can, through the mediation of the chief non-staff specialist of the Ministry of Health, make proposals to the level of the Ministry of Health to correct the existing standards of medical care.
In each fairly large city there are basic specialized medical institutions or departments at somatic hospitals. Thanks to this patient, one does not have to travel far to receive specialized medical care. This is very important, since in many cases its effectiveness depends on the time of the start of treatment.
Standardization
For each highly specialized direction in medicine, its own documentary base has been developed. It provides streamlining of the organization and provision of medical care to the population. This allows us to bring the provision of medical care to the population in various regions, including in rural areas, to a single level.
Standards of specialized medical care are developed, approved and constantly improved at the level of the Ministry of Health with the direct participation of the main freelance specialists. When they are created, statistics are taken into account, as well as the personnel and material capabilities of domestic medicine. In the future, the developed documents are sent for review and guidance in the activities of specialized health care institutions.
Development prospects
Specialized medical care is a very promising area. Every year an increasing number of highly specialized sections appear. The success of such an approach to assisting the population is due to the fact that a doctor engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of only certain types of pathologies has much more time to increase his professional knowledge and skills, and he can also direct all efforts towards his improvement in a particular industry.
All the most highly developed medical systems in the world imply a deep specialization of medical staff. The total share of therapists and family doctors in them is quite low.
Central District Hospital Level
At present, even at the level of state budgetary healthcare institutions located in district centers, there is an opportunity to provide specialized medical care. This is very important, since it significantly increases the availability of narrow-profile treatment measures for the population, including those living in rural areas.
At the level of central district hospitals, there are no such specialists as an allergist, orthopedist or arrhythmologist. There, conditions have been created to assist doctors specializing in the more extensive sections of medicine. At the CRH level, you can usually meet the following narrow-profile doctors:
- Cardiologist.
- Dentist.
- Neurologist.
- Psychiatrist.
- Expert in narcology.
- Ophthalmologist.
- Otorhinolaryngologist.
- Ultrasound diagnosis doctor.
- Dermatologist.
- Infectionist.
- TB specialist.
Each of these narrow-profile doctors is often also the main freelance specialist in their area. It is monitored annually, it reports to the curator of an inter-district or regional level. He also periodically speaks to the medical and / or secondary medical staff of his health care institution with the aim of reporting information on the state of the service and training in general issues of helping patients with pathology of his profile (for example, during night shifts on a hospital or in emergency situations).
