Abstract

The development of medical and social programs within the framework of the primary medical care system that make it possible to successfully cope with age-associated syndromes is focused on achieving the ultimate goal of providing geriatric care – maintaining the highest possible quality of life in the elderly and senile age. In this regard, this article discusses the use of innovative information and communication remote educational technologies in relation to medical staff of various specialties providing medical care to older age groups. Thus, according to the results of the education, 95.8% of internists began to diagnose and carry out therapeutic and rehabilitation measures for falls syndrome, malnutrition syndrome, anxiety-depressive syndrome, 91.7% - for incontinence syndrome. The introduction of these technologies contributes to improving quality of life and the level of functionality of patients of older age groups, thereby prolonging their active longevity. For example, the level of physical and role-based emotional functioning, determined by the SF-36 scale, significantly increased (86.3+2.0 vs 69.2+2.1; 74.2+2.9 vs 56.8+2.3) in the group of patients with the implemented geriatric approach. In the study, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the level of knowledge of medical staff and the volume of activities carried out in patients with geriatric syndromes were analyzed. It was revealed that the persons involved in the implementation of medical and social expertise and rehabilitation competence indicators in the information and communication technologies are the basis for successful self-development and effective professional activity.
