  • economic security
  • national healthcare system
  • security of social health
  • international system of healthcare accounts
  • fixed capital of healthcare organizations
  • The fact that the key factors determining the public health state are not only healthcare resources but also economic security of healthcare system makes the research a relevant one. The latter is an important mechanism to ensure public health security.
    We prove that spreading of the international system of healthcare accounts enables us to assess objectively the level of healthcare economic security on the basis of countries comparison applying indicators characterizing the intensity of fixed capital renewal by healthcare organizations and the degree of applying innovations in healthcare.
    The analysis of the dynamics of fixed assets renewal coefficient of providers of medical and social services demonstrates a negative trend of assets’ aging.
    As a result of the research we come to the conclusion that when applying the international accounts system to assess the level of economic security of healthcare there is no need to introduce new statistic forms and current methods of data collection and grouping used by Russian Statistics Committee should be corrected.
