The Impact

This study aimed to identify the effect of continuous improvement of medical services provided to patients , represented by the computerized Hakim medical program from the point of view of the medical staff workers, which is an applied study on KhreibetAl-Souq Comprehensive Medical Center after using the Hakim program. The researcher distributed (28) questionnaires on the study sample, i.e. approximately (40%) of the study population of (70) staff employees. (26) questionnaires were retrieved, and after checking the retrieved questionnaires, two questionnaires were excluded because they were not valid for statistical analysis, and accordingly, the number retrieved and valid for statistical analysis reached (24) questionnaires. The study reached several conclusions, the most important of which is that there is a statistically significant impact of continuous improvement represented by Hakim's computerized medical program on medical services provided to patients from the point of view of the medical staff, and that continuing to make improvements in work processes and procedures will lead to providing medical services to patients and beneficiaries, according to the requirements of both the beneficiaries and the medical employees, and will also lead to (more effective) arrangement, speed up and organization of work procedures and saves time and effort for both the medical workers and the beneficiaries, KEYWORDS: continuous improvement, hakim medical program, medical services, medical computing company, requirements of clients

Challenging Situation

An outline of the geography and history of the British Virgin Islands precedes a review of the present state of medical services in the islands. The collapse of the West Indian plantation economy following emancipation of slaves was followed by a regression to a peasant economy lasting almost a century. The existing political system, financial resources, capital developments, and external aid form a background to the medical services provided. The small, independent population of 10,500 has all the needs, requirements, and demands of many larger states. Services are heavily subsidized by government and coexist with private medical practice. Although the ratio of medical staff to patients is low, a variety of services are provided, especially in public health, maternity care, and child welfare. Some surgery is performed in the islands. A reasonable spectrum of laboratory services exists and is associated with a small blood bank. Environmental sanitation is at an early stage of development but mosquito eradication and garbage and sewage disposal are receiving increasing attention. The future of the medical program depends on efficient financing, economic use of staff, and the reduction of private medical care. The service requires patience and commitment but is a challenging situation for the doctors.

The article is devoted to the development of strategic directions for improving the management of organizations in the field of medical services based on the creation of stationary emergency departments in the Republic of Crimea. Within the framework of the national projects «Healthcare», «Demography», «Digital Economy», the need to create in-patient emergency departments in the region has been substantiated, which will allow for the proper provision of medical care to emergency patients, including those in need of short-term treatment, and thereby reduce unnecessary hospitalization of patients who do not require specialized medical care in a hospital setting.
