The necessity of planning the hospital network (bed capacity and its structure) in combination with social security institutions is validated. Thus, planning of the hospital network should be carried out in combination with social security institutions, the degree of development of other forms of medical services (hospitals at home, day hospitals, curative and diagnostic complexes, etc.) being taken into account. By preliminary estimates the demand for hospital beds is 127 per 10,000, 13 for chronic patients and the elderly in medicosocial facilities, 38.9 in social security institutions. Realization of the principles of differentiated hospital treatment of patients according to the degree of its intensity enables one to use hospital resources more effectively and to raise the quality of inpatient care. It is recommended to differentiate specific investments in hospital construction (25,000-70,000 rubles per a bed) according to the demand in hospital beds at different stages of treatment intensity and hierarchial level of medical care organization. Equal possibilities in the provision of inpatient care for the whole population can be achieved within the framework of unified regional models of the network of health care facilities, based on the standard target approach to the utilization of hospital resources.
