Abstract

Aim. This research work aims to identify the characteristic features of the development and implementation of quality standards for patient monitoring and safety services in medical institutions, in order to improve quality based on the developed digital model, and describe the requirements for the implementation of quality control according to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 15189:2022 Standards. Methods. The work uses a digital model of the Traumatology Center, built using the AnyLogic programming environment. This model is designed to identify and analyze effective solutions for implementation, such as patient registration processes, staffing, scheduling of specialized departments, identification of clinical characteristics and early symptoms of diseases to prevent complications during the incubation period. Results. It was discovered that modern wireless technologies and data analytics can be used to develop a remote health monitoring system, enabling early detection of chronic diseases to prevent complications. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the development of a sequence for the implementation of documentation on standardization and quality of service in medical institutions to prevent harm to patients, and improve their safety with the help of a complex of measuring devices and technologies. of the information.
