title: [Preventive services at urban pediatric clinics].
abstract: The authors analyzed and assessed the actual state-of-art related with the preventive activities undertaken by pediatric clinics. It was established that the practitioners, medical personnel and parents were poorly informed on the issues pertaining to the development and education of small and pre-school children. The actual preventive-aid measures, now available at pediatric clinics, and their real value were found to make 25-30% of the total activity of a district pediatrician. A quality evaluation coefficient applicable to prevention was elaborated and introduced into the operation of pediatric clinics. The coefficient is calculated with respect to the value of its separate components and it is target at the final result in the activity of the pediatrician and of the pediatric service as a whole, which is child's health. It was calculated for all decreed ages from birth to the age of 6. Its maximum values were registered at an age of 3 months (0.62), 1.5 years (0.61) and of 4 years (0.64). The data are processed by a special soft with a final coefficient value being determined: 0.9-1.0--splendid, 0.75-0.89--goo, 0.65-0.74--satisfactory, 0.64 and less--unsatisfactory. The above method made it possible to promote and expand the preventive activity in case of each children's age.
