A model of harmonious development of regional healthcare on the basis of effective interaction of the healthcare system and the socio-economic system of the region
Subject. The article considers the effectiveness of interaction between the healthcare system and the socio-economic system of the region. Objectives. Our aim is to propose a model for harmonious development of regional health services. Methods. To construct the model, we employ methods of statistical, systems, comparative analysis, methods of economic and mathematical modeling. To achieve the harmonious development of regional healthcare, the model components are built on the basis of the ‘golden section’ proportions. Results. We tested our methodology, using the case of the Sverdlovsk Oblast healthcare. The paper shows possibilities of effective interaction between the two systems, offers methodological approaches to assessing the level of public funding of regional healthcare and effectiveness of voluntary health insurance. Based on statistical data, we obtained good results. They demonstrate that in our model we achieved planned proportions in terms of levels of funding, public-private partnership development, voluntary medical insurance, medical tourism, innovative development of industry. Conclusions. Our methodological approaches, the model of harmonious development of regional healthcare are universal and can be applied at the level of subjects of the Russian Federation.
