Аbstract

The article presents an analysis of the effectiveness of hospitalization of children at the National Center for Children’s Rehabilitation. Particular attention is given to patient routing from regional areas, as well as to issues of incorrect referrals and non-compliance with clinical indications for rehabilitation. An organizational and analytical review of the hospitalization structure and its impact on treatment efficiency was conducted. Key organizational challenges related to the referral and transportation system for patients were identified. The study shows that optimizing patient routing can improve access to specialized care and reduce the burden on the healthcare system. The results of the research can be used to develop recommendations for improving the mechanisms of hospitalization and the organization of pediatric rehabilitation care in Kazakhstan.
