ORGANIZATION OF WORK OF NUCLEAR MEDICINE DEPARTMENT AFTER COVID-19

Abstract

The purpose of work was to develop and implement an algorithm for organizing the work of the nuclear medi-cine department in time of covid-19 epidemy. As a result of the spread of a new coronavirus infection, special requirements are imposed on medical institutions to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff. In ac-cordance with the recommendations of the European association of nuclear medicine, work was carried out on the introduction of preventive examination of per-sonnel, optimization of documentation flow and minimi-zation of direct contact between medical personnel and patients. Patient routing has been adapted, taking into epidemiological standards. The work carried out made it possible to prevent infection of medical staff and pa-tients. The time of contact with patients was reduced to the necessary minimum without any decrease the quality of treatment. Routing deficiencies were identified and eliminated, which significantly extended the time spent by patients in a medical facility. In addition, the load on the medical staff was optimized, which made it possible to improve the quality of medical care provided.
