Abstract
Introduction. Significant transformations are taking place in modern medicine: digitalization and re–equipment, changing standards of care — all this requires the availability of new IT competencies for medical professionals. The involvement of “non-doctors” (IT specialists) compensates for the needs of medical institutions, but qualitative changes in the training process of modern medical workers are necessary to solve the problem. The purpose is to study the needs for new competencies for medical professionals (IT doctors) and the need to attract “non—doctors” in modern conditions of digitalization of medicine. Materials and methods. The study is based on the analysis of secondary information obtained from the Federal Statistical Observation Form No. 30 and digital resources, as well as on the results of a mass questionnaire survey conducted in medical institutions of the Moscow Department of Health (n = 1499). Results. “Non-doctors” with IT competencies are increasingly in demand. The survey showed that certain functions of medical specialists can already be “transferred” to non-medical personnel, whose growth rate has exceeded 60% over the past 10 years. However, the training system provides the necessary IT competencies to a greater extent in technical specialties and to a lesser extent in medical ones. Research limitations. The analysis uses statistical data and the results of a mass questionnaire survey in medical institutions of the Moscow Healthcare Department, which is a representative sample for approximating the results for the entire general population. Conclusion. In the near future, it is necessary to train doctors according to new standards. The modernization of the training system taking into account new IT competencies in medicine and the development of the LongLife Learning (LLL) training system are becoming a reality. The increasing involvement of “non-doctors” to solve high-tech problems, the development of hardware and software complexes is undeniable. However, it is necessary to adapt them to the specifics of the industry development.
