Nteraction of such fields of human activity as medicine and law is a constantly changing area of expertise. It should be noted that the importance of understanding the delicts of a medical nature is indicative of problems in society and at the same time it provides impetus for changes in society. In this regard, a number of questions arise about whether and how to effectively deal with administrative delicts in the field of health, while the issue of terminology concerning this phenomenon remains unresolved. The fact that there are about 15 definitions of «inadequate medical care» and its derivatives in the medical and legal scientific literature demonstrates the disunity of the concept. To resolve this problem, it is necessary to use the following research methods: the comparative method concerning differentiation of the approaches in domestic and foreign literature to the concept of «inadequate health care»; the method of deduction; analysis of medical and legal scientific literature. In its doctrinal interpretation, the term «improper health care» implies the action or inaction of a health worker who does not observe the rules for the provision of medical assistance, based on common Federal standards, the procedure for rendering medical assistance, clinical guidelines for the evacuation of the person in need of care, diagnosis, and treatment. The law determined that «improper health care» is a part of another medical and legal concept, that of a «deficiency (non-observance of rules) in medical care».
