Review

Abstract. Today, in Ukraine, there is an opaque procedure for patients to receive expensive medical services, the cost of which is covered by the state. This leads to a violation of the constitutional rights of citizens to effective and accessible medical care for all citizens. The purpose of the article is defined by the author to explain and justify the author’s vision of solving the problem of untimely provision of planned medical care to patients in Ukraine by introducing a queue of patients. The author proposes to implement in Ukraine a centralized patient queue management system based on the existing electronic health care system, when a doctor will be able to immediately enroll a patient in a queue at any available health care facility at the same time as issuing a referral for scheduled medical care. A transparent and centralized queue of patients in the electronic health care system will allow the state to organize a queue of patients in health care institutions to receive free planned medical care; ensure equal and fair access of patients to planned medical care and fair distribution of patients between health care institutions; to reduce the premature mortality of citizens by establishing maximum waiting periods for receiving free planned medical care; increase life expectancy; reduce the share of shadow payments in the medical care system; to reduce future state budget costs for the treatment of complications or more severe conditions of the patient due to untimely provision of planned medical care. Keywords: health care, administrative and legal support, medical service, queue of patients.   REFERENCES LIST OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS LEGISLATION
