On automation role of medical statistics

Abstract

We presented the role and relevance of medical statistics at the present stage of development of information resources and communication technologies. The opportunities offered by public morbidity monitoring can significantly expand the range of social research in a variety of areas, increase the transparency of medical organizations, enhance patients' confidence in medical activities and increase the effectiveness of the management component in the health care system. The potential of electronic morbidity monitoring is shown on the example of an automated system of legal statistics implemented at the Federal level.
