STAGES OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF HEALTHCARE: RESULTS AND PROSPECTS

The digitalization of healthcare has gone through a period of experimentation, systematization and the beginning of large-scale application in medicine. Modern medical care uses fundamentally new technologies and effectively solves the clinical, logistical and educational problems of the healthcare system, acts as a routine process and is in constant dynamic development, which requires timely assessment and summing up of threshold results. Purpose. Based on a generalization of the experience of digital transformation of healthcare, highlight the main stages of the use of digital technologies in modern routine medical care practice and determine the basic trends in the development of remote medicine. Results. An analysis of data on the use of digital technologies in practical medicine was carried out. Regulatory legal acts and their implementation in the field of distance medicine have been studied. For the first time, periods of introduction of digital technologies as a routine practice of modern healthcare have been identified. The main characteristics of each stage of implementation of remote technologies and the locus of their effective application are determined. Global prospects for remote technologies in medical practice are outlined. Conclusion. Each period of digital transformation of medicine has been marked by fundamentally new technologies for providing medical care. The use of modern remote medicine techniques as a routine practice has gone through three stages of development: the creation and implementation of digital medical information systems, the introduction of telemedicine consultations and the creation of technologies for remote monitoring of health indicators. The global perspectives of each type of remote technologies in healthcare practice are highlighted.
