[THE PROBLEMS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW WORK STANDARDS OF INFECTIOLOGISTS].

The purpose of the study was to analyze the new orders concerning labor standards for infectiologists and possibilities to implement these documents into health care practice. The analysis comparing the normative numbers of infectiologists to provide primary health and hospital care and the factual number of infectiologists revealed that the available number of infectiologists cannot fully meet the staffing standards. To improve the normative legal base on the labor of infectiologists it is proposed to align the staffing levels of infectiologists specified in simultaneously in force and having equal legal validity orders of the Minzdrav of Russia; to implement changes in the scope of infectiologists training; to ensure accessibility of statistical materials characterizing the actual number of infectiologists; distribution of bed-spaces according types of medical organizations, as well as other data necessary to make informed management decisions concerning development of medical care under infectious diseases at both the Federal and the Regional levels and in specific medical organizations.
