The authors identify key factors influencing directly or indirectly the efficiency of all the participants of the social services market. They form generalized total of original parameters, which includes: amount of provided social services, quality of the services, economic and social efficiency of social enterprises and organizations activity. The authors evaluate analyzed parameters in certain segment of social services market (health care, education, cultural affairs). They propose calculation methods of integral index of marketing activity efficiency on the social services market which determined as a sum of weighted indices of group criteria of the volume of social services provision (OSU), quality of social services provision (KOS), economic efficiency of social sphere enterprises (EfP) and social efficiency enterprises activity (SEf). Amount of indices number in each of integral criteria and their indices of relevance are determined according to the features of the studied segment of the social services market. As integral indices of the criterion of medical services provision (OSU) they use the amount of cured patients, bed-days or visits, volume of the provided services in terms of money, etc. Integral index of quality of the provided medical services (KOS) will characterize indirect indices (amount of secondary visits for medical assistance, amount of complaints and penalties on part of insurance companies in absolute and monetary form according to the treated patients, complaints on part of controlling power bodies, amount of received licenses, accreditations, patients’ assessment of their recovery, etc.) Results.

On their basis the authors developed methodology of assessment of marketing activity on the social services marketing. Each of the proposed criteria may be considered as integral, i.e. consisted of a complex of specific digital indicators typical for that criterion. Sphere of application.
