Abstract

A shortage of personnel today is observed in the social sectors, in particular, in healthcare. This problem is most acute in rural areas. In this regard, the article explores the possibility of using digital technologies for effective planning of workforce, as well as trends in the development of digitalization of healthcare - the ability to make an appointment with a doctor without leaving home, telemedicine technologies, etc. The problems of personnel deficit in the healthcare industry in Krasnodar Territory are analyzed. It was revealed that 30% of students in medical specialties lived in rural areas before entering a medical educational institution, but 70.4% want to work in the city, and 69% - in a private clinic. 30.2% strongly disagree to work in rural areas, and 57% will agree under certain conditions. The respondents consider high wages, a well-equipped workplace and social infrastructure equivalent to the urban one as weighty reasons for agreeing to work in rural areas. The shortage of personnel adversely affects the efficiency and quality of medical care. The use of digital technologies makes it possible to increase the availability of medical care. However, a number of issues remain unresolved. Not all of the possibilities of digital technology are known to both doctors and patients. A significant part of the population, although their share is gradually decreasing, still do not have access to Internet resources, do not have computer literacy skills, and fear the transfer of personal data to third parties. To maintain positive trends along with an increase in the number of trained specialists, it is necessary to develop the use of digital technologies, inform the population about the emerging opportunities.
