Development of project management in the field of healthcare

The article examines the current state of telemedicine project management in the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as RF). The authors emphasise the importance of compliance with medical standards and norms on the part of medical institutions, and the importance of updation of the regulatory framework in accordance with existing technologies on the part of government agencies regulating the medicine field. The main part of the article is devoted to the review of implemented projects in the modern field of healthcare – telemedicine: creation of a unified state information system in the sphere of healthcare; telemedicine network in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District; telemedicine in the North-West of the RF (Arkhangelsk); “Children of the North” project. The authors have noted that projects in this area continue to develop, despite the problems and challenges of the environment. Special attention is paid to the difficulties faced by project teams, for example, the need to retrain doctors to work remotely without the possibility of a standard examination, only on the basis of the results of tests conducted on site. In addition, the problem of imperfect legislation regulating medical activities is discussed, which does not allow to use the telemedicine actively today. However, an analysis of modern practices of its application proves the effectiveness of this technology.
