Abstract

Subject. Settlement of disputes between consumers and providers of dental services related to their inadequate quality is a complex multifactorial problem. The successful solution of this problem can be helped by a predictive algorithm of consumer actions, built taking into account three important factors: 1) the time for making a decision about the nature of consumer actions; 2) the leading motive of the consumer when he decides on the nature of his actions; 3) the most likely options for the consumer to protect their rights in a dispute related to the improper provision of dental services.
 Goal. Formulation of proposals for the effective settlement of disputes between medical organizations and citizens based on a predictive algorithm for consumer actions in case of improper provision of dental services.
 Methodology. The actions of patients in resolving a dispute related to the improper provision of dental services were studied; the methods of questioning, variational statistics are applied in the work.
 Results. A statistically significant difference was found in the responses of patients and dentists about the factors in the settling of disputes associated with the improper provision of dental services. In this regard, two predictive algorithms for consumer actions are presented. The first corresponds to the patient's real intellectual and volitional representations. The second reflects the view of doctors, which does not match them.
 Findings. Dentists should strive to effectively resolve the dispute related to the improper provision of services within 2–3 days (during the balance of the patient's emotional and rational moments of consciousness). The leading motive of the consumer is to receive compensation for the harm caused to health and compensation for moral damage, therefore, in order to effectively resolve the dispute, it is important to focus on agreeing on an adequate amount of the corresponding compensation. Doctors in the course of direct negotiations with the patient should ensure accessibility to any format of communication, including the use of modern information and communication technologies.
