SINGLE MEDICAL INFORMATION SPACE AS A MEANS OF MAKING MANAGEMENT DECISIONS

Abstract

Abstract. The article is devoted to the functioning of the electronic health care system as an effective means of making managerial decisions in the field of health care. It is emphasized that at the current stage of reform, the successful operation of the health sector directly depends on the effective use of information technology, which plays a special role in improving internal management processes. e-Health is considered by the author as a technical element of the health management system, which should be understood as a balanced set of individual types of technical equipment of special devices, or a combination thereof and may in some cases include people who operate, maintain and repair. Each part of the technical element has a specific function that ensures the implementation of the corresponding consumer needs. It is emphasized that the system must take into account the impact on people who make management decisions, as one of the components of the technical element. It is stated that in order for a management decision to be effective and ensure the achievement of goals, it must meet a set of certain requirements and go through certain stages. The article presents the stages of e-Health implementation defined by law and considers examples of existing systems that are connected to e-Health. It is concluded that most of the considered systems are built on the basis of client-server architecture, which provides a limited number of functions – mainly the preparation of statistical reports and standard forms. No measures are taken to implement cybersecurity standards based on strategic directions of e-Health cybersecurity development. There is no integration between systems and downloading data from systems. The development of management decisions can be a separate function of management, as well as part of other processes of the management cycle, so the optimization of management in the health care institution and its effective development should be associated primarily with improving management decision-making processes.
