The problems of digital transformation of healthcare in the Russian Federation and its possible solutions

Abstract

The introduction of computer technologies and electronic health records into healthcare practice has significantly increased the volume of collected digital biomedical data and pushed the development of medical informatics. The implementation of the Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation on the ”Strategic direction in the field of digital transformation of healthcare” until 2024 and ”On the Unified State Information System in the field of healthcare”, adopted respectively in December 2021 and February 2022, will significantly accelerate these processes. The article discusses the main provision of these documents and describes the problems with the collection, presentation and analysis of data in the field of healthcare organization, which, in the present moment, do not allow making informed decisions. Recommendations are made for the further development of applied solutions of medical informatics in the Russian Federation.
