title: [Methodological bases for problem solution of monitoring and estimation of mental health services activity: national and international aspects].
abstract: General principles and questions, concerning the problem of monitoring and evaluation of psychiatric service's work from the points of systemic and mathematic modeling, are considered. An analysis of the structure and parameters values of national psychiatric service is presented. Suggested, are recommendations on using this information and improvement as well its collection, processing and presentation of the results in the national and international aspects. Taking Russia as an example, a selective correlation analysis of the regional rows of the values of the indices for psychiatric service's work was conducted to reveal their informational excessiveness. It is shown that the sets of the indices existed and being elaborated for solution of the monitoring problem and estimation of psychiatric service's work are excessively informative and can not be used without an additional analysis in corresponding mathematic modeling. In the view of the condition of the discussing questions, a use of hierarchical modeling apparatus seems to be the most natural and adequate for the solution of the problems posited.
