Abstract
Significance. One of the most actual problems in medical care organization is personnel-related problem due to insufficient number and staffing levels of medical organizations against the background of a high incidence of diseases requiring emergency medical care. Purpose of the study. To evaluate the number of ambulance crew doctors and their staffing levels in the Russian Federation. Material and methods. The study used data from the form N30 of the Federal statistical observation «Information about medical organization» for calculating indicators on the number of ambulance crew doctors, staffing and ratio of ambulance crew doctors holding a second job in the Russian Federation, federal districts and constituent entities of the Russian Federation in 2016 - 2020. Analytical, statistical, descriptive methods were used. Results. The study shows that in the Russian Federation, ambulance crew doctors have high rates of holding second job under the study period (2016-2020), their number decreased by 10.0% (from 15107 to 13602) resulting in a decline from 1.03 to 0.93 per 10,000 population and reduced staffing level (from 73.4 to 69.3%). However, in some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the situation in terms of number and staffing levels of ambulance crew doctors is far from being unambiguous: in some constituent entities the indicators increased under the study period while in others – decreased. However, the trend towards a lower rate of ambulance crew doctors holding a second job is typical for all federal districts. Conclusion. Analysis of the number and staffing levels of ambulance crew doctors showed an unequal situation in constituent entities of the Russian Federation, with a general decrease in the average statistical indicators in the country. Scope of application. The study results can be of interest to health care organizers and practitioners.
