However, it is still unclear what exactly digital literacy of healthcare workers should include and how it can be measured. The aim of the study is to expand the understanding of existing systems for assessing digital competencies of healthcare workers in global practice. Materials and methods. A scoping review was conducted based on the PRISMA checklist. Peer-reviewed scientific articles published in English over the past 10 years (20142024) on digital competence of healthcare workers were included. One of the selection criteria was maximum international coverage, so studies from not only leading countries in Europe and the world, but also most regional leaders, as well as developing countries, were considered. Based on the results obtained, a generalization was made of the most studied competencies of healthcare workers in the field of digital health to date, as well as the tools used to assess them. Conclusion. There is a wide variety of tools for assessing digital health literacy among healthcare workers, which depends both on the characteristics of national healthcare systems and on the capabilities and measurement criteria. While some general health literacy assessment tools could potentially be adapted for Russian users, the findings of this study indicate a lack of tools that are specifically designed to assess the multifaceted digital health literacy of healthcare professionals, taking into account the unique context, domains, complexity, and assessment methods required for this target group.</p>digital competencedigital literacydigital healthhealth workerhealth professionalsцифровая компетентностьцифровая грамотностьцифровое здравоохранениемедицинский работникспециалисты здравоохранения1.Car J., Carlstedt-Duke J., Tudor Car L., et al.
