Day hospital (DH) provides consultations and treatment for all referred patients according to standards of medical care quality. DH has facilities for therapeutic and gastroenterological patients. Treatment in DH is performed according to current standards which cover basic treatment of the diseases (documented medicines, duration of treatment). Efficacy of DH's use of the Standards of Diagnosis and Therapy of Acid-Dependent Diseases associated with Helicobacter pylori (standards of Moscow consensus) is used as illustration. As a result of treatment in DH 93% outpatients resumed their jobs, improvement occurred in 96.7% patients, a complete response was seen in 23%, 1.9% cases failed treatment. Most DH patients (83%) were satisfied with treatment given in DH and think it a convenient replacement of hospital stay.
