In their article from 1987, outstanding organizers of Armenian healthcare Emil S. Gabrielyan and Hayk A. Nikoghosyan share their experience of creating multidisciplinary diagnostic centers as scientific-production complexes using the example of the Republican Diagnostic Center in Yerevan. For example, the effectiveness of grouping departments into services directly related to patient examination, organizational and scientific-methodological services, as well as engineering and technical and economic support services was demonstrated. The authors emphasized the special importance of developing and implementing automated information retrieval systems.
