The purpose of our work was to increase the efficiency of medical care provided to patients with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 who were admitted to a multidisciplinary hospital, based on a retrospective analysis of the work carried out to reorganise material-technical and personnel support, organise operations in an unfavourable epidemiological situation in the period from 16.05–06.11.2020. During the specified work period, data on 677 hospitalised patients were analysed. The practical experience of the FGBUZ CCH RAS demonstrated the feasibility of a quick response to unfavourable development of the epidemiological situation associated with the spread of COVID-19 via solving the problem of reorganising a multidisciplinary hospital, taking into account the implementation of organisational measures that provide the material and technical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of patients and measures aimed at preventing the spread of infection among medical personnel and patients. Our data confirmed that complications related to infection with COVID-19 and which led to the need to use intensive care measures were more typical for people in the older age group: with an average age of 57 ± 6 years for men and 64 ± 7 years for women that were admitted to the hospital. A set of measures to ensure the safety of personnel involved in providing medical care to patients with the new coronavirus infection minimises the risks of personnel infection.
