Project: Health Care Quality Assurance Project

USAID.1998.A
01/09/1998 - 30/04/2004 (68 months)

Project goals

·Tangible results of the first phase of the Quality Assurance project included evidence-based clinical guidelines, redesigned systems of care, and quality monitoring in the three clinical areas: hypertension, pregnancy induced hypertension, and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome in Tulskaya and Tverskaya oblasts. ·

Improved prevention and treatment practices led to a 90% decrease in hospitalizations for hypertension, the leading cause of death in Tula region.·

In Tver region the changes led to 63% reduction in neonatal mortality from respiratory distress, the principal cause of death for newborns. ·

Improved systems of care markedly reduced costs, particularly in pregnancy-induced hypertension in Tver.·

Russian Minister of Health Yuriy Shevchenko opened a conference in Moscow in July 2000; then-Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala launched the second phase of the project.·

The quality assurance approach has extended to all appropriate health facilities in the two regions and is now a model for nationwide application. ·

Clinical areas to be added during the second phase include: pediatric tuberculosis care and early detection and care of breast cancer in Tverskaya Oblast; and treatment of depression in general practitioner settings in Tulskaya Oblast.·

The June 2001 National Policy Seminar on Improving Health Care Quality produced a draft Policy Document on Quality Assurance.
