Certification as an effective element of the information and analytical system of social and hygienic monitoring (literature review, part 1)

Introduction. Social and hygienic monitoring (SHM) at the current stage of the problem development is impossible without the use of material-intensive databases, where long-term information on environmental indicators, population health, and the relationships between them accumulates. A comprehensive analysis of this multi-component information makes it possible to obtain the most complete and adequate answer on choosing the most effective way to reduce the negative impact of various environmental factors on human health and life. However, the vastness of information in the databases, a large number of applications to them, complicates and slows down the process of making management decisions, reducing their effectiveness. It is possible to avoid excessive time and effort when working with SHM data by minimizing their text parts with subsequent inclusion in the passports of territories and institutions – specialized documents with a standardized, easy-to-read structure, which increases the efficiency of using SHM results. The research material was scientific publications on the problem of certification as an element of the SHM information and analytical system. Literature search methods: according to the CyberLeninka database, selective, analytical-synthetic, typological. There was analyzed experience of passportization in the Sverdlovsk, Orenburg, Arkhangelsk, Bryansk regions, the Republic of Tatarstan and the Primorsky Territory, Moscow and St. Petersburg with the preparation of social-hygienic, radiation-hygienic, sanitary-hygienic passports of territories and institution. Limitations of the research are related to the uniqueness of passports as elements of SHM and the lack of possibility of comparing them with similar forms of reporting abroad. Conclusion. Currently, the certification of territories and economic facilities is a proven effective information and analytical tool of the SGM, which allows, with minimal time and effort, to purposefully collect and compare data to resolve issues of environmental improvement measures and reduce morbidity among the population in the shortest possible time. Passports, specialized digital documents with a standardized structure that is easy to quickly perceive, provide clarity and visibility of the level of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population.
