Abstract
An adequate response to the challenges people face in the context of continuing urbanization, increasing life expectancy and, at the same time, falling birth rates, is to maximize the containment of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by high level of healthcare organization and medical services provided to the patients with such pathologies. Global economic losses caused by NCDs result in disability and early mortality among working population as well as in significant treatment costs increasing with the advancement of the disease. That is why outpatient care for NCD patients which includes behaviour factors monitoring is an urgent task for the world and Russian healthcare. In this regard, the goal of this study is to find organizational solutions to improve regular medical checkup service for NCD patients in the metropolitan healthcare system, relying on the data provided by medical organizations in the form of statistical observations. Thus, the results of correlation analysis have revealed a connection between the increased number of individuals in the second and third health groups and individuals scheduled for a regular medical checkup at the end of the year and its absence between the clinical examination results and the number of firstly diagnosed patients. It is also reported that the number of diseases registered for a regular medical checkup at the end of the reporting period (year) has increased, so patients with polymorbid conditions are supposed to prevail among the others on these days and require a special approach to their management. Taking into account the results obtained, possible ways for optimizing the organizational model of a regular medical checkup are the following: special hours (days) for such patients admission, permanent cooperation of a doctor (local general practitioner, GP, family doctor) and a health worker with a secondary medical education (to deal with organizational issues), etc.
