THE BASICS OF CALCULATING THE ECONOMIC LOSSES DUE TO MORTALITY OF THE WORKING-AGE POPULATION
Abstract
Introduction. Improving the public health of the population and, above all, reducing mortality is the main goal and the main criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of the reforms carried out in various fields. The mortality rate of the population appears not only in documents relating to the assessment of the performance of health facilities and the quality of medical services.The purpose of the study was to develop approaches to calculating the economic losses of the working population. The objectives of the study included the unification of the formula “Lost years of forthcoming life” for the able-bodied population and its approbation using the example of calculating economic losses due to mortality in road traffic accidents. Materials and methods. The study used data from the Chelyabinsk Regional Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination on the number of people killed in road accidents in the region. The study was based on guidelines for using the indicator “Lost Years of Potential Life”. Results. As shown by a study approved by Academician V.I. Starodubov formula for calculating the lost years of life ahead is best suited for calculating the economic damage from mortality of the working age population in the context of various causes. With the help of the proposed formula, it is possible to calculate not only economic damage, but also the economic efficiency of health programs and other organizational measures in the field of health organization. Discussion. An important aspect in the calculation of economic damage is the need to take into account the level of unemployment, the indicator of gross profit of the economy and gross mixed income and the balance of labor resources. The formula proposed in this article, taking into account the above additional indicators, can be used to calculate economic losses due to the mortality of the working-age population using the example of individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation or individual municipalities. Conclusion. These calculations must be taken into account in the formation of regional health systems, as well as the justification of the financial costs of activities in the field of health care and prevention, including in the context of individual municipalities of the Russian Federation.

THE RESULTS OF “ZEMSKY DOCTOR” PROGRAM IN TYUMEN REGION
Abstract
The problem of the availability of doctors and nurses is particularly relevant in rural areas. The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the Zemsky Doctor program in the Tyumen Region. To achieve the goal, a number of tasks were solved: analysis of number, composition and movement of program participants; analysis of the impact of the program on the availability of doctors in the rural population; analysis of the reasons for early termination of contracts. Materials and methods. The study was conducted by the Tyumen State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia with the assistance of the Health Department of the Tyumen Region in 2018 on the basis of processing and analyzing statistical data on 520 doctors who participated in the Zemsky Doctor program in the Tyumen Region (without autonomous districts). Results. The main reason for early termination of contracts on the initiative of the program participant is the acquisition of housing in another settlement. The analysis showed that the majority of early termination of contracts falls on recipients of payments in 2012-2014. Discussion. The criterion of effectiveness of the program is the provision of doctors for the population. The analysis led to the conclusion that “Zemsky Doctor” program contributed to the improvement of the rural population’s supply of doctors, at the same time, the annual average growth rate of provision of doctors during the period of the program implementation was 5,7%, the maximum value of the indicator was noted in 2015-2016. Currently, the problem of retaining recruited specialists in rural areas is particularly relevant. Conclusion. The results of study can be used by regional authorities, management of medical organizations when deciding on the further implementation of Zemsky Doctor program, as well as in making managerial decisions on the issues of human resources for rural healthcare generally.

HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE POPULATION INDICATORS USING EQ-5D QUESTIONNAIRE
Abstract
Introduction. The concept of health-related quality of life as a key factor in patient-doctor interactions is an important basis for making managerial and medical decisions in many foreign health systems. In Russia, the concept of health-related quality of life is in its infancy: it is required the theoretical, methodological and scientific-practical foundations development. Aims and objectives. The aim of this study is to assess the health- related quality of life for Russian population based on the EQ-5D questionnaire and to form the average health indicators. Material and methods. The survey was conducted on a sample of 1,602 people aged 18 to 92 years. The final sample is representative for the country and federal districts. We use using the Russian-language version of the EQ-5D questionnaire which allows us to receive two indicators for each respondent - health profile and index based on visual analog scale EQ-VAS. Results. The study revealed the following results: (1) the majority of the respondents among all ages have the problems in EQ-5D dimension “anxiety/depression”; (2) women tend to detect moderate problems in all dimensions more often than men; (3) EQ-5D descriptive results are decreased in all components with the respondents age; (4) the most infrequent population’s problems among the all dimensions are found in the "self-care" dimension; (5) the age changes related to a decrease of EQ-VAS are associated with the general tendency of a decrease in the dimensions. Discussion. To obtain the most accurate and objective assessments from the EQ-5D, it is necessary to conduct a study in accordance with established international protocols, compare the estimates with the average population indices and adhere to a thorough research design. Conclusion. The study reveals the possibilities of using EQ-5D and the first health-related quality of life Russian population indicators that can be used as a basis for comparing between different population groups and patients.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
MULTI-AGENT TECHNOLOGY IN THE EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF SKIN MELANOMA
Abstract
The problems of the use of existing forms of organization in health care, focused on timely diagnosis of tumors of external localization, are analyzed. The urgency of the problem and the need to improve its effectiveness are determined by a number of factors, including numerous publications in Russia and abroad, as well as many years of experience of the authors. An approach based on interdisciplinary technology (medicine, software engineering) using multi-agent methods is proposed. The concept of technology and the model of the system composition consisting of an artificial neural network, an expert system, a database, a knowledge base, remote access means and information protection were developed. As the criteria for the effectiveness of the system, entropic actions of various groups of users are offered - doctors of profile and non-profile specialties in the space of situations. The end result of the diagnosis is survival. The proposed technology is applied in the educational process, designed for a wide range of users, including students, doctors, administrative staff, and average medical personnel. A methodology has been developed that contains theoretical and practical material intended for an extended version of the analysis of errors and recognition of complex scenes possible in the diagnosis of skin melanoma.
