REGIONAL PATHOLOGIC ANATOMY CENTER AS THE FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION MODEL OF PATHOLOGIC ANATOMY SERVICE IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The problematic tendencies of development of modern PAS in Ukraine prove in modern conditions the centralized model of PAS regulation is unable to completely solve the existing problems, which had inhibited the development of the service as a whole for years. It is proposed to create the structural model of PAS as a specific association of pathologic anatomy regional centers. In this case specifically the RPAC act as the basic component of PAS in Ukraine in the conditions of its decentralization. An attempt was made to determine the peculiarities of organization-functional implementation of RPAC as a rather perspective system based on decentralization of PAS in Ukraine. Basing on the position of the existing organization of system of provision of pathologic anatomy services it is suggested that each region would have its own center, it is therefore expedient to build the centers in the regions of Ukraine that lack pathologic anatomy bureaus and the regions that have a significant workload for the PAS institutions. Based on experts’ evaluations, the practical realization of the optimistic scenario of the perspective system of RPAC would allow to increase the quality level of provision of the pathologic anatomy services and their availability. Considering the financial, staffing and material-technical capabilities of national system of health care, the structure and functioning of perspective system of RPAC in Ukraine should be organized based not just on state form of property and budget funding, but also introduction of private-state partnership.
