Strategic Prospects for the Development of Human Resources in Regional Health Systems

The goal: to identify the main strategic prospects for the development of the human resources of the health care systems of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation

Objectives: to determine global trends in the development of health care in the field of its staffing, to identify the main trends in the development of health care at the national level, to determine the key social, economic and demographic trends and factors affecting the staffing of Russian health care in the regions of Russia and the corresponding patterns of the intensity of their manifestation.

Methodology: V. L. Kvint's methodology of strategizing, comparative and correlationregression analysis.

Results: The main strategic challenge is the lack of doctors and nurses against the backdrop of positive trends in improving the quality of medical services and effective digitalization.

An increase in the need for staffing of regional health care systems in the presence of objective difficulties in the reproduction of human resources has been revealed.

The strategic prospects for staffing healthcare in the regions continue to be significantly influenced by the insufficiently high level of culture of a healthy lifestyle of the population.

A significant disconnect between the needs for doctors and the levels of medical personnel is shown.

The main strategic prospects for the development of human resources in regional health care systems are related to increasing the level of competence of doctors and other medical workers through training in the use of modern technologies for diagnosis, treatment and communication with patients. The growing role of regional health care systems in promoting a healthy lifestyle and medical knowledge is extremely important, which is especially promising in the context of the continuing influence of social factors on the health of the population.
