Sažetak
Sažetak. Klinika za neurologiju KB Split ima ugovorenih 77 bolničkih kreveta. U Klinici je zaposleno ukupno 70 zdravstvenih djelatnika: 17 liječnika i 53 medicinske sestre. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je evaluirati rad Klinike za neurologiju tijekom jednogodišnjeg perioda, posebice broj zaposlenih zdravstvenih radnika u odnosu na standarde definirane od Ministarstva zdravstva. Medijan dobi liječnika specijalista u Klinici za neurologiju KB Split iznosio je 42,0 godine. Medijan trajanja liječenja iznosio je 8,0 dana. Prosječna popunjenost Klinike za neurologiju u tijeku 2005. godine iznosila je 88%. Analiza potrebnog broja medicinskih sestara za djelatnost Klinike u skladu s nacionalnim standardima upozorila je na velik manjak broja medicinskih sestara. Unatoč činjenici da je broj zdravstvenih radnika nedostatan, rezultati rada bili su iznadprosječni, na što upućuje popunjenost kapaciteta te duljina liječenja. Neurološke bolesti imaju velik i rastući udio u ljudskoj patologiji te je adekvatna organizacija i provedba specijalističko-konzilijarne i bolničke zdravstvene zaštite jedan od prioriteta nacionalne strategije zdravstva.
