How Civility Matters in Civil Matters: Procedural Justice and Court Legitimacy in the Midst of a Legitimacy Crisis

The procedural justice thesis that quality of treatment matters more than outcomes in people’s perception of institutional legitimacy is supported by a large body of research. But studies also suggest that distributive justice and the effectiveness of authorities are more important in certain legal settings (civil courts) and national contexts (posttransition societies). This study tests these ideas through a survey of 192 civil litigants in Poland, a postcommunist country where the national judiciary has recently been subject to intense political scrutiny. Our findings support the generalizability of procedural justice, and especially voice, but also demonstrate the significance of outcomes and legal cynicism. We also discuss prior court contact, role (plaintiff versus defendants), and representation (presence of counsel) as potential moderators on litigants’ perceptions of court legitimacy.

Simulation training of dentists as an instrument of improving the quality of treatment

Simulation education is a relatively new direction, without which it is already impossible to imagine medical education at the present time. The same applies to dentistry. The results of observations confirm the feasibility of using simulation training: students become more confident in professional skills, and the number of medical errors is reduced.

CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE DIAGNOSED CLINICAL SITUATION COMPONENTS FOR ELECTRONIC MONITORING OF THE TREATMENT QUALITY

Significance. Free care delivery within the framework of the State Guarantee Programs substantiates the development of electronic platforms for information support of doctors in prescribing medicines and monitoring quality of treatment. Conceptualization of the unified information environment of clinical practice, unified interpretation of the terms and components of the diagnosed clinical situations are important conditions for effective performance of the medical electronic platforms. Purpose: to conceptualize the scheme of information environment of clinical practice to support decision-making and monitor quality of treatment. Material and methods. The conceptual schemes of the information environment of clinical practice have been developed in accordance with the system principles. The methodology for constructing conceptual schemes is based on the general principles of philosophical foundations of science. Results. The conceptual schemes, conceptual apparatus, and information environment of structural elements of the model of information environment of clinical practice have been developed. A glossary of general terms and concepts of the information environment of clinical practice has been created. The structural model of information environment was tested at the prototype electronic platforms across different medical specialties. Conclusion. The use of ontologies and intelligent systems based on the expert knowledge in combination with digital coding of the diagnosed clinical situations serve a promising approach to monitor and control quality of care delivery and cost accounting within the framework of the State Guarantee Programs implementation. Scope of application. The concepts of the components of the diagnosed clinical situations meet the requirements of the interdisciplinary level of the information environment and are applicable for creating electronic platforms in various specialized areas of clinical practice.
