According to the new regulation, the deadline for citizens to see their family physicians will now be one year. However, for groups requiring regular follow-up, such as women aged 15-49 and individuals with chronic illnesses, current follow-up periods will remain the same.

Service evaluation has been updated according to population structure

As part of the regulatory amendment, assessments were revised to take into account the demographics served by family health units. New parameters were created to account for workloads in regions where the proportion of groups requiring more frequent healthcare services, such as pregnant women, infants, children, and the elderly, varies.

In this regard, the scoring system for family health centers with a low proportion of specific patient groups but a high total population was revised, and the point limit corresponding to the number of people was increased to 3,000.

New criteria for rational drug use

The regulation also expanded the criteria for rational drug use. Previously based solely on provincial averages, the assessment will now include national averages, past performance data, and international comparisons. This brings the total number of criteria to four.

Inspection numbers will be calculated with the new method

The regulation also changes the calculation of daily and target examination numbers. Calculations will now be based directly on individual numbers. Additionally, family health workers will be included in the incentive system for processes aimed at increasing chronic disease screenings and examination rates.

The new regulation aims to provide more effective and comprehensive family medicine services.
