SYNTHESIS OF THE ORGANIZATION OF TREATMENT, RESEARCH AND TEACHING (CASE STUDY AT THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL IN AACHEN)

Abstract

The article considers and analyzes the existing in the world, but new for Ukraine, type of healthcare institutions - a university hospital, which today is an example of one of the largest and best university hospitals in Germany - the Medical Center of the University of Aachen. The planning and functional structure of the university hospital and special design approaches that contributed to its design and development are analyzed. The purpose of the article is to illustrate an innovative approach for our state to the organization of medical institutions and to emphasize the importance of their implementation in the domestic healthcare system. The research methodology is based on the systematization and analysis of data from various information sources, as well as on the method of sociological survey (analysis of reviews). The article considers the features of the structure of the University Hospital Aachen, namely the multidisciplinary treatment, research and student training, which are combined in one institution. According to hospital patients, the only drawback of this structure is the frequent long wait for visitors. This is probably due to the significant daily flow of patients of varying complexity and, consequently, the shortcomings of the managerial approach. However, at the same time, the hospital has many advantages, which were highlighted in the article.
