Abstract

Digital transformation of healthcare requires effective tools for assessing the digital maturity of medical organizations. This study is aimed at developing a methodology for assessing digital maturity adapted to the specifics of the health care system of the Russian Federation. The work includes the analysis of regulatory legal acts, identification of key criteria for assessing digital maturity, grouped into blocks, and development of an algorithm for calculating the level of digital maturity of medical organizations. The proposed methodology provides the ability to objectively assess, identify problem areas and develop recommendations for improving the digital maturity of organizations.
Objective. To develop a methodology for assessing the digital maturity of medical organizations, which takes into account the specifics of the healthcare system of the Russian Federation, allows for a comprehensive and objective assessment of the level of digital maturity and the formation of recommendations to improve the processes of digital transformation.
Materials and methods. A working group of 14 experts with experience in healthcare and digital transformation was formed to develop the methodology. Regulatory legal acts and existing approaches to digital maturity assessment were analyzed. Based on the expert survey, key criteria grouped into five blocks were identified. Indicators and calculation algorithms were developed for each block, which ensures objectivity, transparency and the possibility of automating the assessment.
Results. The developed methodology for assessing the digital maturity of medical organizations allows to objectively determine the level of their readiness for digital transformation. It covers the main aspects of digitalization, providing a comprehensive approach to analysis. The methodology also makes it possible to identify key problems that hinder digital transformation and form recommendations for their elimination. This makes it an effective tool for increasing the level of digital maturity of healthcare organizations and improving the quality of services provided.
Conclusion. The developed methodology for assessing the digital maturity of medical organizations is a universal tool for objective and systematic assessment of the level of digital maturity. It takes into account the peculiarities of the structure and activities of organizations, ensuring adaptability to different conditions and levels of healthcare. The methodology contributes to the standardization of digital transformation, identification of problem areas and formation of individual recommendations for their elimination.
