2020 № 2 Dynamics of indicators of the hospital bed fund of round-the-clock and daily stay in the Russian Federation
For the period 2010–2018 the number of hospitals in the Russian Federation decreased from 5705 to 4323
(by 24.2%), both due to the reduction in the number of beds and in connection with the unification of medical organizations.
The number of beds of round-the-clock stay decreased from 1250120 to 1044875 (by 16.4%); the following
indicators decreased: provision with these beds (from 87.5 to 71.1 per 1000 population – by 18.7%), the average treatment
duration (from 12.6 days to 10.7 – by 15.1%) and, unfortunately, average bed occupancy per year (from 325 to
313 days – by 3.7%). In 2018, the extreme values of the indicator of hospitalization rate for 24-hour hospital beds in
the regions of the Russian Federation differ 1.8 times, provision with hospital beds – 2.9 times, average bed occupancy
per year – 1.2 times, average treatment duration – 1.8 times. The revealed differences are significant, what indicates
the imbalance of the ongoing structural transformations. The overall hospital mortality rate in the Russian Federation increased:
from 1.5% in 2010 to 1.9% in 2018 (by 28.4%), similar dynamics – in all Federal Districts. The provision of the
population of the Russian Federation with places in day time hospitals increased from 15.4 per 10 000 in 2010 to 17.0
in 2018 (by 10.7%). Multidirectional tendencies are noted, both toward increasing and decreasing the number of places
in day hospitals both in the Federal Districts and in the regions of the country; the extreme values of the indicator of the
provision of places for day hospitals in the constituent regions of the Russian Federation differ by 30 times, what reflects the
disproportionate organization of the network of day time hospitals in the country’s regions. During the observation period
in the Russian Federation the level of hospitalization in round-the-clock hospitals decreased from 222.0 to 203.5 per 1000
population (–8.3%), while the level of hospitalization in day time hospitals steadily increased from 26.4 to 35.0 per 1000
population (by 32.8%), what indicates the implementation of the expected hospital-replacing function of day time hospitals
in the country. The issue of further structural and functional optimization of the bed fund of the country remains relevant.
