The paper considers the standards of time spent on processing different documents. The example of the Budgetary Public Health Facility of Kemerovo Region “Kemerovo Regional Clinical Drug Dispensary” shows, how much time is required for documents preparation and processing, depending on the document type. In addition, the goal was set to determine the average time spent, as well as to develop recommendations for efficient use of working hours for documents preparation in a medical institution. While analyzing the documents, the formula for calculating the number of people, required for documents processing, was developed, and the relevant calculations were presented.
