Abstract
Performance of healthcare can be measured as its ability to restore and preserve health with acceptable costs for the society. Under the current prevalence of chronic disease, medical care (the major content of healthcare) underperforms in all key indicators: clinical effectiveness, benefit/risk ratio of interventions, cost/benefit ratio, and general population health. In Russia key performance indicators (KPI) of healthcare do not allow effective decision-making; a similar situation is seen worldwide: most KPIs are either focused on the process (not results) of medical care, or depend on efforts out of control of healthcare decision-makers.The key root factors limiting clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of healthcare are reactive diagnosis-centered organizational model of care and the underlying biomedical paradigm, generally inadequate in chronic diseases. They make healthcare intervene too late, use less effective prevention and treatment instruments, and be in a state of resource scarcity. In Russia there is also a lack of interdisciplinary and interagency cooperation essential for health preservation and promotion.Performance of healthcare system in overcoming the chronic disease epidemic can be improved through supplementing the current ‘reactive’ organizational model with preventive person-centered model based on the biopsychosocial paradigm. Enabling patients for early lifestyle-based interventions, the core P4 medicine approach, should prevail in managing chronic disease. Communication and information technologies should allow fast scaling up of the best person-centered practices.
