Ekaterine Tikaradze: We had discussion with the heads of clinics about how to improve patient management to avoid delays in this regard

The Minister of Health met with the heads of the clinics involved in the management of СOVID-19. As InterPressNews was informed by the Ministry of Health, the meeting was held online.

According to them, the parties discussed the growing dynamics of the coronavirus infections and ways to solve the existing challenges. The participants of the meeting also assessed the situation in the medical institutions. It was noted that the Ministry of Health is constantly mobilizing additional beds in clinics. The discussion also focused on patient hospitalization and discharge criteria.

"The recent lack of places in medical institutions was discussed at the meeting. We had discussions with the clinic heads about how patient management can be improved to avoid delays in this regard. We also discussed the Covid-Hotel management model. In this regard, it is important to increase credibility. In addition, we discussed improving the quality of primary health care. I think the involvement of the heads of the clinics in the information campaign is important in order for the citizens to be well aware of how patients are placed in the hospital and then discharged to their homes. This will make the management process of СOVID-19 more transparent", - said Ekaterine Tikaradze.
