The article raises the problem of interaction of the investigating authorities with the medical community, which is relevant for modern investigative practice in iatrogenic cases. Thus, we recommend the medical community to assist investigative authorities in performing urgent procedural actions — obtaining medical records and execution of seizure. At the same time, it is offered to establish rules for investigative activities, taking into account the interests of the medical community and physician–patient privilege guaranteed by federal law. Further, in order to prevent the criminalization of medical activities, it is necessary to develop a unified legal conception and a regulatory approach to the definition of crimes related to medical care, and to abandon using the term «iatrogenic crime».
