Abstract

Research background: As the experience of a number of countries whose health systems were considered effective has shown, the pandemic has caused multiple disruptions, system overloads, and in some cases complete collapse. The negative experience made us think about what characteristics of the system and each specific medical organization are determining, and which parameters contributed to the increase of problems in the system, and which ones ensured the ability of the medical cluster or organizations to successfully function in the complex conditions of the pandemic. Consequently, mechanisms for evaluating medical institutions and clusters that would be able to monitor the health system in a normal situation and monitor its readiness for peak loads are coming to the fore. Purpose of the article: This article is intended to identify the key factors for ensuring the competitiveness of regional medical clusters and develop a methodology for assessing the level of competitiveness of institutions in the context of a pandemic. Methods: The methodology of evaluation is built based on modified matrices of competitiveness based on the matrix of strategic mechanisms. Findings & Value added: The article analyses the successful strategic practices of medical market leaders for other players and maintaining the effectiveness of the healthcare system even during global pandemics. As the scientific increment can be considered the results of analysis of mechanisms for evaluating medical institutions and clusters that could monitor the health care system in a normal situation and monitor its readiness for peak loads.

Highlights

The coronavirus pandemic has put a lot of pressure on the health systems of different countries, as a result of which many of them have shown their complete inability to withstand this blow
By all indicators in the periods before the coronavirus pandemic, these countries appeared in the first rows of almost all known ratings [1]
The ability to innovate in the field of medical developments, and in improving technologies for the treatment of all other medical areas in high demand, increases competition status of medical institutions and, ideally, makes the institution a driver of regional economic growth and the basis for the formation of the corresponding cluster. [6 - 8] those medical organizations that can activate their innovative potential during the crisis period will be able to cope with possible problems in the future more

Summary

Introduction

The coronavirus pandemic has put a lot of pressure on the health systems of different countries, as a result of which many of them have shown their complete inability to withstand this blow. The "rules of the game" suddenly changed, which led to a crisis in the health care system, aimed at meeting formal requirements and focusing on a marketing strategy (to the detriment of the main activity). In these conditions, health care institutions had to face new challenges, work at peak loads and constantly be in a state of search for new solutions. Innovative medical centers, which were previously used to the constant search and implementation of new products, were able to provide leadership
