The Ministry of Health is currently preparing a state program for the early diagnosis of certain types of malignant neoplasms, primarily the cervix. This type of cancer, along with breast cancer, is among the three most common in Belarus. However, doctors note that the lack of a centralized diagnostic program reduces the early detection of this deadly disease, and the later a malignant tumor is detected, the higher the risk of death.
The capabilities of medical institutions both in the capital and in regional centers already allow for massive work on the prevention and early diagnosis of cervical cancer. It should be reminded that screening programs for breast and prostate cancer, as well as colorectal cancer, are currently operating in Belarus. Started as pilot programs and proven to be highly effective, these programs make it possible to detect the disease at an early stage, when the patient has not yet noticed symptoms of malaise. At this stage, treatment is much more effective, and the probability of full recovery is much higher.
Mass screening of patients at risk, as stated in the Russian National Research Center of Oncology and Medical Radiology.Alexandrova, it will be launched in the next three years. The relevant provisions have already been included in the state program "Health and Demographic security" for the current five-year plan (until 2020). Screening on the basis of the Russian National Cancer Center will begin in the first half of 2017, and, most likely, it will be combined with vaccination against HPV (human papillomavirus), which is considered one of the main causes of the development of a malignant tumor of the cervix.
Electronic patient records are being mastered by zaMKADye
The state program for the development of the healthcare sector, and, in particular, the reduction of paper and the expansion of electronic document management ("Creation of electronic healthcare and a clinical decision support system"), will be activated. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Health Vyacheslav Shilo at a recent press conference. Special attention will be focused on the regions, since the difference is still impressive – if no more than 40% of documents in the regions are entered into the electronic database, then in the capital this level exceeds 85-88%.
The transition to an electronic form of recording medical information and transferring it to other departments (in particular, when prescribing prescriptions to pharmacies) is planned to be completed by 2021. The funds for the implementation of this program were provided by the World Bank as part of a targeted loan.
As a result of the implementation of this program, it is planned to simplify the work of healthcare institutions at all levels, as well as make medical services more convenient and accessible for patients themselves. So, in particular, with the help of a Personal Account, the patient will be able to make an appointment with the necessary specialist, independently create an extract from the outpatient card, see the results of laboratory tests, if necessary, call the district doctor at home, and chronic patients will be able to receive a prescription without additional visits to a medical institution.
As for healthcare institutions, they will have the opportunity to reduce the amount of "paperwork" for doctors and their assistants, as well as time for interdepartmental data transfer. In addition, electronic document management will help solve the notorious problem of "medical handwriting."
The program was launched in 2016, and in 2018 the main focus will be on the development of the information system outside the capital.
