Work area of emergency medical service of Istria country

Uslijed neorganiziranosti zdravstenog sustava uočeno je opterećenje rada hitne medicinske službe Istarske županije koje nas je potaknulo na istraživanje koliko HMS IŽ radi izvan svojeg djelokruga rada. Istraživanje se provelo na temelju podataka Nastavnog zavodu za hitnu medicinu Istarske županije u periodu od 2017.g do 2019.g. Rezultati su statistički obrađeni t-testom prema unaprijed pripremljenim podacima te su podtkrijepljeni tablicama i grafovima. Istraživanje je dokazalo da se znatno povećanje uočava prilikom turističke sezone i tijekom vikenda. Povećanje obuhvaća intervencije na terenu i ambulante preglede. Povećan je postotak intervencija na terenu i ambulantnih pregleda tijekom mjeseca lipnja, srpnja, kolovoza i rujna u odnosu na ostatak godine te tijekom subote i nedjelje u odnosu na ostatak tjedna. Ukupnim brojem intervencija dolazimo do zaključka da je većina posla izvan djelokruga rada hitne medicinske službe Istarske županije što uvelike opterećuje i proračun RH.Due to disorganised healthcare system an overload of workforce was noted in the Emergency Services in Istrian county that encouraged us to research how much does the aforementioned services work outside their extent. The research was done based on the data from the Teaching Institute for Public Health in Istrian county from 2017 to 2019. Results have been statistically processed by a T-test with the prepared data, and are corroborated with tables and charts. The research has proved that during the tourist season and weekends we have a significant increase which includes interventions on the field and ambulance examinations. We have an increase in interventions and ambulance examinations during the months of June, July, August and September compared to the rest of the year, and during Saturday and Sunday compared to the rest of the week. With the total number of interventions we have come to a conclusion that the majority of work is outside the extent of Emergency Services in Istrian county. Key words: Emergency Services, extent of work, Istrian county which greatly burdens the budget of the Republic of Croatia
