Optimization of pharmaceutical care for children with diseases of the upper respiratory tract in outpatient polyclinic institutions

Abstract

Introduction. The analysis of scientific and information materials has shown that the theoretical foundations and conceptual provisions of pharmaceutical management and pharmacoeconomic research have been developed in the works of domestic scientists. At the same time, research on optimization of pharmaceutical care for children in outpatient facilities is currently only fragmentary, and there is no systematic approach to solving this problem.
 The aim of the study. On the basis of a systemic approach, form a system of research on the optimization of pharmaceutical care for children with ENT diseases in outpatient polyclinic institutions.
 Materials and methods. The methodological basis is the approaches of modern management in the field of strategic management, pharmacoeconomics, approaches to the assessment of drug consumption, legislative and regulatory documents. The objects of the study were family outpatient clinics and children's outpatient polyclinic institutions in the city of Kyiv and the Kyiv region. The initial information was 390 outpatient charts of patients with ENT diseases aged 3 to 17 years for the period of 2022; 125 expert questionnaires of otolaryngologists; 50 questionnaires of a sociological survey of parents of patients with ENT diseases. The research used methods of logical, structural analysis, SWOT analysis, sociological methods (expert opinions, interactive survey, questionnaire).
 Results. A methodical approach to conducting pharmacoeconomic studies of pharmaceutical care for children in outpatient clinics has been developed. For the first time, an original method of multi-aspect matrix analysis was proposed, which makes it possible to evaluate and multi-factorially position the medicinal products of the researched assortment in order to justify its inclusion in the assortment list for the treatment of a certain nosology in ambulatory polyclinic conditions.
 Conclusions. The practical significance of the research results lies in the creation of a system of approaches to optimizing pharmaceutical care for children in outpatient settings at the territorial level.
