This article presents the results of a study on the relationship between indicators of accessibility of citizens to primary health care (PHC), based on the data of the Unified medical informational analytical system of Moscow (EMIAS) and the results of the survey of physicians of medical institutions of the state healthcare system, providing primary care to adults. The analysis of scientific publications has shown that when assessing the availability and quality of medical care, taking into account public opinion, the main attention is paid to sociological surveys of citizens and less often the opinion of medical personnel who provide medical care to citizens is studied. The analysis of the information from foreign sources has shown that the availability of primary health care is a hot topic in many countries all over the world, including the countries with a high level of GDP per capita. The survey of medical men, which was attended by more than 500 doctors, was conducted in six medical organizations in Moscow that provide primary health care to adults. The questionnaire contained 26 questions, the answers to which reflect the personal opinion of doctors about their attitude to the improvement of their professional skills, satisfaction with working conditions, the organization of PHC and its accessibility to the population, etc. EMIAS The data were used to calculate individual indicators that characterize the population's access to PHC. The results of this scientific study confirmed the existence of a high correlation between the responses of doctors and indicators calculated on the basis of EMIAS data, which indicates the feasibility of using the opinion of medical personnel to make timely and effective management decisions aimed at optimizing organizational processes to ensure public access to medical care.

Background And Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern that uniquely impacts older Black Americans, a population also likely to have family members also diagnosed with CKD. This study aimed to (1) describe how participants viewed their decision preferences considering the experiences of family, and friends previously diagnosed with CKD, and (2) to understand how these social complexities informed their own decisions for future CKD care.
Research Design And Methods: Utilizing a phenomenologically-informed approach, this study explored participants' perceptions of how patients and their family members' experiences with CKD influenced treatment-related decision-making.
