Evaluation and implementation of quality standards to ensure relevant medical care in the system of military medical services of Armenia

It was the goal of this review to determine if the MHS of Armenia meets benchmarks for health care quality; to provide military medical officials with relevant information to create an adequate environment for all the quality improvement initiatives being undertaken at the medical care level; to design and implement effective interventions to make informed strategic choices and promote quality and a culture of safety in. Documents addressing the quality of care in the MHS of Armenia were reviewed.

On the issues of implementation of the unified military medical electronic information network in the Republic of Armenia

The article is based on literature reviews and personal observations on the medical service practice in the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia. It is declared that the military medical service in Armenia is an adequately functioning system, which guarantees the medical safety of the military service and could provide quality medical services to servicemen and other people equaled to servicemen entitled to free medical care prescribed by the legislation of the Republic of Armenia. However, the analysis showed that the means of uniform informational database and automatic control system are not actively used for patient's diagnosis and treatment; there is not the uniform informational database between medical service and the management of the armed forces. Thus, there is clearly a need to implement new information technologies to improve the management in unified military medical system.

X-ray interferometry with microelectronvolt resolution

We demonstrate an interferometer for hard x rays with two back-reflecting sapphire crystal mirrors--a prototype x-ray Fabry-Pérot interferometer. A finesse of 15 and 0.76 mu eV broad Fabry-Pérot transmission resonances are measured by the time response of the interferometer. Interference patterns are observed directly in spectral dependences of reflectivity.
