DIGITALIZATION OF HEALTH: ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROSPECTS FOR DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Digital technology is one of the priorities in the development of the healthcare sector worldwide. The digitalization process can provide a breakthrough in the availability and quality of services without increasing healthcare costs, and therefore the development of digital medicine is carried out with the active participation of the state. Russia was no exception, where several information-analytical projects that are noticeable on a global scale are already being introduced. The aim of the study is to study the processes of informatization affecting the socio-economic sphere. The object of the study is the medical institutions of the healthcare sector, and the subject of study is the information processes in medical institutions. The article discusses the feasibility of a formalized description and modeling of the healthcare system in connection with the transition to universal digitalization and its integration with other socio-economic spheres of society. A formalized presentation can serve as the basis for constructing conceptual models of various socio-economic systems, including the health care system. The work focuses on the need for the development of information technologies in medical institutions, which are an important direction for creating a mechanism for the interaction of medical organizations on the basis of a unified state health information system, which will provide digital transformation and increase the efficiency of functioning of all levels and institutions of the healthcare sector, and also provide an opportunity use by citizens of the country of electronic services and services in the field of healthcare i. Given the complexity of choosing software for medical institutions that would have functionality and the ability to integrate with each other and meet the technical requirements of import substitution, the authors attempted to identify problems using various “integration buses” and individual products for data exchange. The role of modeling of applied processes and healthcare systems is emphasized. In this context, it seems very relevant to consider the transformation of functional tasks into digital models, since in the transition to a digital economy, they help to solve problems by finalizing the health information system. The article discusses the structural components of the model of a unified medical information-analytical system, provides a model of the main processes implemented through the EMIAS (Unified Medical Information-Analytical System) in a healthcare institution. In the future, it is expected that resources will be managed and planned at all levels of health care. The results of the research obtained from the scientific and methodological approaches will allow us to generalize the need to use traditional methods of analysis and new methods based on system analysis of the subject area and to clarify the information base of adequate digital models used in the study area.
