Veronika Igorevna Skvortsova, (2015)

{{quote 'author
= Veronika Skvortsova, Minister of Health of the Russian Federation' Another priority area determining the development of healthcare is the transition from infrastructural informatization of healthcare to the widespread use of digital (digital) technologies in medical practice.

Thanks to modernization programs in 2012-2013, communication and computer telecommunication equipment was installed in more than seven thousand state medical organizations, a single secure network for the transmission of medical data was organized, federal components of a single information system were developed.

Already, in 81 regions of the country, medical information systems have been introduced, to which 57 percent of doctors are connected to automated workplaces, 83 regions have organized an electronic appointment with a doctor, 66 have introduced a single regional ambulance dispatch system.

For 2016-2018, we plan, together with the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation, to implement a project that allows by the end of 2018 at least 95 percent of all state medical organizations to connect to a single state information system in the field of health care by introducing a single electronic medical record.

This bill, obliging the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to connect to this system, has already been prepared, passed public discussion, agreed with all interested federal bodies and will soon go to the Government.

Citizens of Russia will have access to a secure personal account "My Health" on the public services portal, which will provide a wide range of opportunities: making an appointment with a doctor, checking the compulsory medical insurance policy, attaching it to the clinic, calling a doctor at home, viewing their own electronic medical record and receiving information on a healthy lifestyle and on other important issues.

By the end of 2018, at least 95 percent of doctors working in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in state medical organizations will be connected to the system. This will allow you to completely switch to electronic document management, abandon the maintenance of paper documentation by a doctor and thereby free up 30 percent of your working time for direct communication with the patient.

In addition, the continuity of patient treatment will be ensured regardless of the medical organization and the introduction of unified information systems to help make a decision by a doctor. This is an electronic classifier system that is currently in active development and will be completed by the end of the year, including clinical algorithms, guidelines, drug and other reference books that should be convenient for use by doctors at any time, including primary care.

In addition, distance programs of continuing medical education will be provided. To increase the availability of high-quality medical care in each region, by the end of 2018, the following will be introduced: a single dispatch of the ambulance service, which will reduce the time to reach the patient, telemedicine counseling between specialists of different medical organizations of different profiles and levels - from district hospitals to leading federal centers.

In addition, an automated system of preferential drug provision will be introduced, which will not only improve the management of trade stocks of drugs, but also make drug provision more targeted and comfortable for each person. In the future, it is planned to connect all medical organizations, including private ones, to a single information system within the framework of a single national health care system, as well as extend telemedicine technologies to doctor-patient relations with the introduction of remote health monitoring, which is especially important for remote areas of the country and for rural areas. Thus, the introduction of digital technologies will make it possible to have a comprehensive positive impact on the availability and quality of medical care, the working conditions of the doctor and the satisfaction of the population.}}

Non-targeted 700 million for informatization

On June 10, 2016, it became known about the misuse by the Ministry of Health of Russia for informatization of more than 700 million rubles.

The agency agreed with the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications a informatization plan for 2015, but it was not approved, and in violation of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 365, the ministry sent more than 700 million rubles to informatization of health care.

The Board of the Accounts Chamber approved the conclusion on the execution of the federal budget in 2015 at the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Health).

2013

Ministry of Health drew up an IT plan for 2013-2018

On June 20, 2013, the Ministry of Health approved [1] the department's activity plan for 2013-2018, including, among other things, indicators for the informatization of health care, which are planned to be achieved during this period. Deputy Minister of Health Andrei Yurin has been appointed responsible for achieving all the goals specified in this area.

The document highlights five key areas of informatization, according to which it is necessary to achieve specific indicators by year: the introduction of a medical electronic card, the creation of a single information space for the provision of telemedicine services, ensuring the possibility of remote monitoring of the health of citizens at risk, an electronic library for doctors, as well as distance education for health workers.

According to the plans of the Ministry of Health, by the end of 2013, at least 26% of medical records of citizens must be submitted in electronic form in accordance with uniform standards. In 2015, this figure should be 50%, and in 2018 - 95%.

At least 95% of federal medical institutions should have telemedicine capabilities in 2013, in 2015 - a similar percentage of institutions at the level of inter-district centers, in 2018 - institutions at the level of the municipality.

At least 10% of citizens in the high-risk group in 2014 should be provided with the possibility of remote monitoring of the state of health. In 2015, this figure should be 70%, and 100% coverage should be provided in 2017.

As for the electronic library for doctors, its volume should grow from 1.25 million pages in 2013 to 6.3 million pages in 2018. The number of distance forms of additional education and advanced training for health workers over the planned period should increase 5 times - from 40 to 210.

The Ministry of Health demanded daily IT reports from the regions

At the end of July 2013, the Ministry of Health sent a letter to the heads of government agencies in the field of health protection in the constituent entities of Russia with a request to ensure the daily provision of information to the department on the implementation of regional programs for the modernization of health care in terms of the introduction of information systems.

The Ministry of Health justifies this request by the fact that the Office of the President of Russia for the Use of Information Technologies and the Development of Electronic Democracy is conducting a "control event (check)" on the issue of implementing Article 50 of Federal Law No. 326 "On Compulsory Medical Insurance in the Russian Federation" regarding the introduction of IT systems.

This article defines the procedure for financing regional programs for the modernization of health care, including informatization. Regarding the latter goal, for which budget funds are allocated, they include "the introduction of modern IT systems for the transition to compulsory health insurance policies of a single model, including a universal electronic card provided with a federal electronic application, the introduction of telemedicine systems, electronic document management systems and the maintenance of medical patient records in electronic form."

For the daily provision of information on the implementation of regional modernization programs in terms of IT, the Ministry of Health developed and sent to the subjects a unified report form, including three main points: information on the amount of funds provided by the program for IT systems and actually spent by the recipient, on the volume of computer equipment provided by the program and actually purchased by the region, as well as statistical data on IT systems introduced in the region.

The latter, in particular, is detailed to indicators of the possibility of maintaining an electronic medical record of a citizen in the region, recording with a doctor in electronic form, exchanging telemedicine data, introducing an EDMS and a unified register of medical workers in medical institutions, as well as maintaining an electronic passport of a medical institution and a health passport of a subject.

2012: Ministry of Health reports on informatization results

On May 24, 2013, within the framework of the expanded board of the Ministry of Health, the head of the department , Veronika Skvortsova, reported to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on the results of the ministry's work in 2012, including in the direction of health informatization .

According to Skvortsova, more than 286 thousand units of computer equipment were delivered to medical organizations over the year, and the number of local medical networks increased 3.5 times.

The service of electronic appointment with a doctor has been introduced in 4 thousand organizations. Since its commissioning in December 2012, about 7 million Russian citizens have used it. The Minister of Health admitted that "this is negligible compared to the circulation of Russians." The department hopes to complete this fragment of work in 2013.

The ability to maintain an electronic medical record, according to Skvortsova, is provided in almost 2.5 thousand medical organizations. and more than 36 million electronic cards have been uploaded to the federal service, which today accounts for about 26% of the country's population.

Among other results of informatization for 2012, Skvortsova noted the equipment of about 19 thousand cars of sanitary transport and more than 2.5 thousand stations and ambulance departments with GLONASS satellite navigation, as well as the creation of an electronic catalog "Russian Medicine," the total volume of bibliographic records of which exceeds 500 thousand.

"These are our first steps in the field of industry informatization. Together with the Ministry of Communications and the expert community, we are accelerating the implementation of all projects, "said Veronika Skvortsova
.

According to her, by the end of 2013, the department hopes to gradually introduce a computer workplace for a doctor in medical institutions with the possibility of remote continuing education, teleconsultations with colleagues, assistance in decision-making, as well as a decrease in the volume of paper document circulation.

2011: Uniform State Health Information System Concept

The Ministry of Health and Social Development approved a new concept for creating a unified state health information system (Uniform State Health Information System) in healthcare. The document was developed under the leadership of the new Chief information officer of the department Vadim Dubinin on the basis of a similar concept prepared by his predecessor Oleg Simakov, the Ministry of [1].

The basis of the EIS infrastructure should be made up of the federal data center of the Ministry of Health, which will be created specifically for the deployment of the system. According to the concept, it can be geographically distributed. Regions will be able to use data center resources according to the IaaS model. Under what conditions they will receive this service, the document does not stipulate. According to Dubinin, medical institutions will be able to use their own resources at will, but for this they will have to configure a gateway for exchanging data with central structures.

The applied components of the system (transactional, managerial and information) in the Ministry of Health are divided into federal and regional. The first, for example, include systems for maintaining a schedule of appointments for specialists, issuing referrals for examinations, systems that ensure telemedicine consultations and consultations, including using mobile devices, accounting and personnel accounting systems, various registers, an electronic medical record management system and many others.

Among the federal components, an electronic medical library has found its place, within which a "social network for doctors" or "professional network" will be created, as the new Chief information officer calls it. Recall that after the scandal surrounding the tender for its creation in 2010, his predecessor Oleg Simakov quit.

The document includes regional components of medical information systems that automate processes directly in medical institutions, systems for issuing and servicing preferential prescriptions, remote monitoring of the health status of individual citizens, as well as archival storage and provision of access to medical images.

The creation of the EIS is planned in two stages until 2020. At the first stage, in 2011-2012, it is planned to develop sections of regional programs for the modernization of healthcare and various standards, design and design documentation, begin to create a data center, provide medical facilities with computers, etc. Over the next period, it is planned to complete the work on standardization, creation of a data center, transfer to it the main centralized components of the UIS, federal application software, etc.

Officials expect that the creation of the EIS will reduce the mortality rates of disability and complications caused by medical errors, a low level of efficiency, additional costs for the treatment of untimely diagnosed diseases, increase the labor potential of the nation by reducing the temporary and constant loss of working capacity of the population due to illness, the concept says.

2010: Golikova - the year was one of the most difficult in socio-economic terms

On March 25, 2011, at an expanded board in the Government House, Minister of Health and Social Development Tatyana Golikova summed up the results of 2010, calling it one of the most difficult in socio-economic terms[6]. She noted that the decisions taken in 2010, in particular to support low-income groups, despite the crisis, were the most significant in the last 10 years. In particular, the valorization of pension rights of citizens was carried out, social supplements to pensions were introduced, the size of which was lower than regional living wages. As a result, the average pension exceeded the pensioner's living wage. At the same time, the largest increases in pensions due to social supplements were established for recipients of pensions in cases of loss of the breadwinner and social pensions.

Social pensions were indexed twice a year, while the amount of indexation of benefits to citizens with children and monthly cash payments to certain categories of citizens exceeded the inflation rate. In December 2010, the average pension amounted to almost 7600 rubles, the old-age labor pension was 8200 rubles, which is 1.45 times higher than in 2009. The growth of pensions in real terms amounted to 35%. The average size of assigned pensions was 35.3% of the average accrued salary, while in 2009 - 27.8%.

According to Golikova, in 2010 it was possible to stabilize the situation in the labor sphere. The number of unemployed decreased from 6.6 million people in the first quarter of 2010 to 5.2 million people in the fourth quarter of 2010, and registered unemployed - from 2.2 million people to 1.6 million people. In 2010, real wages increased by 4.2%, despite the fact that a year earlier they decreased by 3.5%. Golikova recalled that in 2010, overdue wage arrears decreased by 1.5 times, and the number of part-time workers decreased from 725,000 people to 271,000 people, that is, 2.7 times, and the need for employers for workers increased by the beginning of 2011 1.36 times from 724,000 to 982,000 people.

According to Golikova, such results were achieved, among other things, thanks to state measures to promote employment. According to the Ministry of Health and Social Development, in 2010, the state helped 12.2 million people, including 456,000 who underwent retraining and advanced training, 793,000 took part in paid public works, 85,000 were employed in temporary work, 285,500 people received a subsidy to start their own business, 965,500 people were employed in temporary work, 24,800 university graduates were employed.

A special program was needed to localize problems at AvtoVAZ OJSC and Vyatsko-Polyansky Machine-Building Plant Molot OJSC. Special programs required the support of navigators and flight engineers, as well as a separate program was developed to support the labor market in the North Caucasus Federal District and in single-industry towns.
