The blogger showed a normal hospital.
A friend of mine, who works as a doctor in Finland, told about their hospital. This is the University hospital of Turku, the town by Russian standards, quite small, it is home to around 130,000 people.
Just want to say that I do not compare to the old Russian hospital with a new European. It would be a completely incorrect comparison. We also have a good clinic. For example, Ural clinical treatment and rehabilitation center, about which I was speaking – a modern clinic on the level of good European hospitals.
But let’s look at Finland. A few years ago in Turku opened a new clinic. Conventional state student hospital. Let’s take a walk and see how the Finns treated their citizens.
To the clinic from all sides organized wide porches, open and enclosed Parking facilities. Rooftop helipad for emergencies.
Clinic state, the people in it are placed in chambers for 1-2 people. In Finland medicine free to all citizens, but some amount patients stay in the hospital still get paid (like around 25-30 euros a day). This is to ensure that patients will not be tempted to stay in the hospital longer than necessary or to go for admission without reason. So that the heart they’re giving you for free but for a bed you pay. Clinic, though the University, but is working on the ambulance. In Finland, almost no separation between the emergency hospital and the planned hospital. There is everything necessary for any patient.
In General, the treatment of a patient in Finland involved a much larger number of people than in Russia. This is especially true of middle and Junior medical staff. For a similar number of patients there will be 3-4 times more nurses, medics and support staff. So that all patients receive the right amount of care, and the staff does not feel exhausted. The doctors only do their job and not distracted. To work in medicine is prestigious, even if you’re a medic, so don’t be surprised the nurse, a strong man.
With overtime here is strictly. Work in excess of well paid, so the administration delay the work is not welcomed. No one would allow nurses to work on a few bets. Tired surgeon will do the operation qualitatively, the tired nurse asleep on duty. The approach to prevention of medical errors is not in the public punishment of doctors, and in understanding the reasons that these errors lead. For example, professional stress, burnout, fatigue, and lack of equipment.
In General, it seems that healthcare managers are really thinking about how to make the treatment comfortable for patients and doctors, and are not afraid to introduce something new.
In clinic, there are flowers, fountains, and various decor. In this place nice to be. The doctors say that the psychological comfort of the patient is very important in the treatment process.
Cleaning is performed with special machines, no dirty mops. Such cars here a lot, so the clinic is always perfectly clean despite the fact that nobody wears Shoe covers.
If the patient needs to transfer to another building, comes to the aid of the electric car trailer. This truck bed fits together with the staff.
While Finland spends about 7% of GDP, it is one of the lowest in Europe! As you can see, the result is very decent. It is believed that this is achieved through careful management.
In fact, in the hospital everything is perfect. There is no dirt, no trouble. But photos taken on the background of active work. This shows how important it is for state health care. Then you need to learn especially contemporary relationships in the world of medicine. Doctors are trying to get rid of non-core work and unnecessary bureaucracy. Created the conditions for education and a healthy lifestyle. No problems with any medicines or other consumables. Actively introducing new rational ideas.
Medicine today, like any other industry, is evolving at a tremendous pace. Doctors should be willing and able to keep up with the times. In Finland, all designed to trifles. I say this primarily from the perspective of a doctor. In the morning rode my bike in the closet you can safely bathe and put on clean medical clothing that you don’t have to wash and iron. During work or after you can go to the library or just relax in a nice place. Organized, good food, and great gym. Here, it seems, there is an understanding that the imaginary savings on staff ultimately results in large costs due to more complications and medical errors. In this clinic, by the way, work and Russian doctors.
