Introduction. In the «Strategy for the development of healthcare in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025», the improvement of the system of providing medical care to the population is indicated as one of the priority areas. One of the most important is the widespread use of daytime forms of stay of patients in hospitals. Despite the accumulated long-term experience that has justified the medical and organizational feasibility of day hospitals (hereinafter referred to as DS), questions remain in the organization of their work. Among them: the use of various algorithms for organizing work depending on the type of DS, ensuring the continuity of the therapeutic and diagnostic process in them, choosing an effective mode of operation, establishing standard standards and requirements for equipment, providing premises and some others, which significantly reduces the efficiency of the DS. These problems arise as a result of the regulation of the activities of the DS by numerous procedures for the provision of medical care by profiles and Regulations on the Organization of primary health care for adults, which have significant differences. The goal of our research is analysis and evaluation of individual regulatory documents in the field of regulation of day hospitals.
