Introduction: The article discusses the problems of joint activities of public and private sectors to ensure the proper quality of medical services and jointly overcome financial and production risks. It is emphasized that if the financial and administrative issues of such interaction have been studied to a certain extent, then a quantitative assessment of the quality of medical care provided in a public-private partnership has so far raised questions The aim: Identify ways to use industrial quality criteria for providing medical care to patients in public-private partnership conditions. Materials and methods: The results of rehabilitation of 300 patients with gastrointestinal pathology who underwent rehabilitation in the resort "Kvitka Poloniny" of the TOV "Suzirya" were studied. 160 patients underwent rehabilitation in the private part of the resort, 140 - in the state. Results and conclusions: The theoretical approaches to the use of scientific and technological tools for the implementation of public-private partnership in medical institutions, in particular in a rehabilitation center, are discussed. They are based on instrumental approaches to assessing the quality of medical care. The use of Pareto assessment techniques and the Taguchi loss function allows us to quantitatively characterize the improvement in the quality of care provided with the help of public-private partnership.
