Economics and Management2020<p class="a">In the article the authors proposed to consider the economic content of medical services from the points of view of the mutual influence of medicine and economics in the system of public relations; identified the factors determining the increasing influence of economic categories on the provision of medical services at the current stage of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation; analyzed the consequences of such increased influence on the quality of medical services. In particular, the authors noted that at the present stage there has been a tendency to absolutize the economic influence on medicine and grow it into the essence of medical service and healthcare in general. The authors justified that it is impossible to put an equal mark between a medical service and an economic service, since they are aimed at achieving different results. As the main result of the work, the authors made a conclusion that the current economic content of medical services in the country, including its legal regulation, both civil and administrative, does not fully meet both the needs of its consumers and the requirements of its providers. In this regard, the authors proposed to expand the range of economic instruments used to ensure high quality on the one hand, and on the other hand, accessibility of medical services.</p>экономикамедицинаобщественные отношенияэкономические отношенияэкономика медицинычеловеческий ресурсмедицинская услугаэкономическая услугаeconomicsmedicinesocial relationseconomic relationsmedicine economicshuman resourcemedical serviceeconomic service[1.
