IMPROVING STATE REGULATION OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR
Abstract. Improving the accessibility and quality of healthcare services for the population, which is one of the key objectives of the healthcare reform strategy, requires improvement of social policy aimed at ensuring a high standard of living for citizens and high-quality implementation of reforms that will increase the economic, technical and informational accessibility of healthcare services. The article proves that scientific, technical and innovative activities in the field of medical industry development are one of the driving forces for continuous improvement of the quality of medical services, their adaptation to rapidly changing living conditions and ensuring a high level of human development. The article examines the main directions and trends of innovations in the medical sector implemented in Ukraine, namely: organisational innovations, which involve a comprehensive re-engineering of the organisational and institutional mechanisms of the system aimed at the gradual transformation of the medical sector from a socially costly model to a socially investment model focused on intensive development and intersectoral growth on the principles of market competition; digitalisation of the healthcare system, introduction of new diagnostic and treatment technologies in the medical sector.
Key words : state regulation, healthcare sector, innovative development, accessibility of medical services, digital technologies.
