Incidence with the temporary disability according to data from both Federal Service on Customers Rights Protection and Human Well-being Surveillance (Rospotrebnadzor) and health authorities in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analyze the comparability of data from the bodies of both the Federal Service on Customers Rights Protection and Human Well-being Surveillance (Rospotrebnadzor) and health authorities in terms of the incidence of the temporary disability in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Material and methods. Information on indices of the incidence with the temporary disability, presented in state reports “On the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population” of the Territorial Departments of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing Surveillance, is examined. The information on incidence indices with the temporary disability, presented in the Unified interdepartmental information-statistical system, is investigated. Result and discussion. The incidence rates with the temporary disability presented by the Russian Federation’s executive bodies in the field of healthcare and used by the Territorial Departments of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing Surveillance do not correspond to each other. The composition of data on morbidity with the temporary disability in state reports “On the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population” of the Territorial Departments of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing has a high degree of heterogeneity. Most government reports do not include data on the incidence of temporary disability. Conclusion. To provide comparability of the working population’s health indices at the national and regional levels, the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing Surveillance bodies and institutions have to develop the uniform methodological approaches to assessing and controlling the incidence rate with temporary disability. The territorial administrations of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing Surveillance (Rospotrebnadzor) are required to receive data from public health authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that correspond to data provided for statistical purposes at the federal level.
