Abstract

The authors ask a question and give an ambiguous answer to it. On the one hand, there is no alternative to digitalization of healthcare, as this is confirmed by the global process of the Fourth Technological Revolution, the experience of foreign countries in testing and widespread adoption of interaction technologies between consumers and healthcare providers, as well as Russian achievements in introducing high-tech medical care, and significant financial flow from federal structures for the development and consolidation of what has been achieved. At the same time, there are concerns that an alternative digitalization is possible, which the authors called “intermediate braking”. “Intermediate braking” of the introduction of modern technologies into the functioning of the health care system is the state of the system characterized by “treading” on the spot and declaring the goals and objectives of digitalization while maintaining imbalances in the software and technical, staffing of innovations, as well as maintaining “paper” medicine along with electronic format of its content. Based on the analysis of publications in the scientific field and on specialized sites, a mechanism is presented that allows minimizing the risk of the implementation of “intermediate braking”. It is based on the development and implementation of a single format for the technological and infrastructural development of digitalization of healthcare on a domestic and international scale.
