Nowadays, the tools assessing patient satisfaction with medical care are largely applied all over the world. The world experience of monitoring satisfaction of population with medical care is necessary for better understanding of dynamics of indicator and possible forecasting of its level in Russia. The purpose of the study is to analyze existing national systems of monitoring satisfaction of patient with medical care and to identify particular established trends.<br />The search for free access publications was implemented using such databases as PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate and eLibrary. The keywords patient satisfaction, national monitoring, satisfaction trends, The sampling included 55 publications. The analysis established that in many countries measurement of degree of satisfaction of patient with medical care become routine practice and integral part of of evaluation of efficacy of both medical organizations and health care in a whole. The initial level of satisfaction with medical care depends on multitude of population variables, including predominant race, culture and nationality of population, gender and age structure, social economic conditions, level of incomes and prevalence of urban or rural population. The dynamics of satisfaction level in most countries demonstrates steady, but slow and statistically insignificant increasing of indicators, though different in various domains of satisfaction. The identified factors are to be considered both at the Federal level to formulate correct conclusions and at the regional level to develop corresponding measures.</p>reviewsatisfactionmedical carepatientmonitoringassessment toolsобзорудовлетворенность медицинской помощьюпациентмониторингинструменты оценки[Reynolds A.
