Analysis of the pharmaceutical care system of the Novosibirsk region community

Introduction. Uneven placement of pharmacy organizations on the territory of the Novosibirsk region, want of pharmaceutical staff, especially in remote areas, falling living standards, an increase in general morbidity of the population, limited material and financial health care resources in the Novosibirsk region necessitated an assessment of the pharmaceutical care system in order to develop measures to improve it, preserve constitutional rights and guarantees for residents.
Aim. Development and testing of a methodology for analyzing the system of pharmaceutical care for the population of the Novosibirsk region.
Materials and Methods. SWOT analysis was used for the assessment. Based on the content analysis of scientific medical and pharmaceutical literature, regulatory documents of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministries of Health of the Russian Federation and the Novosibirsk region, a questionnaire was compiled in which various aspects of the pharmaceutical care to the population of the Novosibirsk region were characterized. A group of experts (heads of pharmacy chains, heads of pharmacies, chiefs or deputies, specialists of the Department of Drug Provision of the Population of the Ministry of Health of the Novosibirsk region – a total of 35 people) were asked to evaluate (rank) the proposed characteristics in a SWOT matrix.
Results. It has been established that the strengths of pharmaceutical care to the population of the Novosibirsk region (the top among them are the developed infrastructure for providing the population with pharmaceutical care; the approval and implementation of federal programs on the strategy of drug provision to the population and the development of healthcare in the Russian Federation and the Novosibirsk region) exceed by 1.26 times the weaknesses of the system (insufficient financing of drug provision to the population of the region; insufficient provision of the population with pharmacy organizations and medical and obstetric stations in rural settlements of the Novosibirsk region, etc.). Possibilities of the pharmaceutical care system in the Novosibirsk region (organization of dispensing medicines by medical staff through out-patient clinics in rural settlements of the Novosibirsk region, in which there are no pharmacy organizations; an increase in the proportion of municipal and urban districts provided with medicines dispensing outlets in relation to all municipal and urban entities of the Novosibirsk region to 100%, etc.) by 1.13 times prevails over threats (an increasing staff shortage in the pharmaceutical industry, a pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, etc.).
Conclusion. Pharmaceutical care for the population of the Novosibirsk region is characterized by the predominance of strengths over weaknesses, while potential opportunities exceed threats. This imples the necessity to further improve pharmaceutical care, use its resource capabilities and enhance its strengths.
