Abstract


Digitalization extends to all spheres of public life and branches of the functioning of the state, including the healthcare sector, including primary health care. At the same time, the effectiveness of the introduction of innovative technologies directly depends on the level of their use and the general perception of the population. The purpose of this study is to analyze the opinions of patients about the process of digitalization of medical organizations providing primary health care. The materials and methods include the analysis of scientific articles and information from Internet sources relevant to the declared topic, as well as conducting a questionnaire. Data collection was carried out in the period from June to September 2023 and covered 48 subjects of Russia. The survey was conducted using the online service «Yandex.Forms» and included 2437 patients of medical organizations. This article presents an analysis of the results on eight key questions of the questionnaire, which were selected to assess the opinion of patients regarding the process of digitalization of primary health care. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the majority of respondents have a positive attitude to digitalization in medical organizations providing primary health care, but additional improvements are required, such as greater participation of medical personnel and patients in digital technologies, specialized portals, expansion of telemedicine and innovative services.
