On improving the organization of medical support for persons engaged in physical culture and sports in Omsk region

In modern sport, the requirements for the functional state of athletes are increasing, which dictates the need to implement a more careful control of their health. This can be ensured by creating an effective organization of medical support of athletes. However, the latter is hindered by the lack of modernization of the functioning of medical organizations responsible for the provision of medical care to persons engaged in physical culture and sport [1,7]. To date, it seems extremely necessary to improve the effectiveness of the organization of medical support of athletes by solving such key issues as: staffing of medical personnel of specialized medical organizations, modernization of their material and technical support; increasing the share of financing of facilities responsible for medical support of sports activities, introduction of advanced rehabilitation methods in the work of medical and physical culture dispensaries and expansion of the range of rehabilitation services provided to athletes. A promising direction in improving the quality of medical support for athletes and obtaining operational information about their health status is the creation of a unified information and analytical database, including the results of in-depth medical examination of the athlete, his current and periodic medical examinations, medical consultations received by him, treatment and rehabilitation measures taken. The aim of the study is to develop proposals to improve the organization of medical care for persons engaged in physical culture and sports in the Omsk region. Materials and methods.
