Medical diagnosis and its nature

Abstract

Diagnosis is one of the most important concepts in medicine, the correctness of which determines in many respects the success of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, the quality and life expectancy of the patient. Currently, in medical science and practice, there is a great diversity both in understanding the essence and form of a medical diagnosis, and in approaches to its establishment. However, in the practice of doctors, what is formulated as a diagnosis does not even meet the basic requirements for this concept. We have made an attempt to bring to a common denominator both the theoretical understanding of the diagnosis and the forms of its implementation in practice, to scientifically substantiate the definition of diagnosis and diagnosis, to strictly define its subject, content, boundaries and forms in order to increase the effectiveness of prevention and treatment of diseases on the way to achieving the main goal of medicine to improve the quality and increase the life expectancy of the patient.
