Informatization of healthcare in the Russian Federation: history and results of development

The first studies and publications devoted to the use of information technologies in the health care of the USSR appeared in the 60s of the last century. Since that time, our country has formed its own scientific school and a market for a wide variety of software products intended for use in medicine and healthcare. Since 2011, a number of major federal projects in the field of healthcare informatization have been implemented, which, in general, made it possible to provide infrastructure and basic equipment, communication channels and software for the lion’s share of medical organizations, connect them into a single secure information network and ensure the exchange and accumulation of data on the work of the health care system of the Russian Federation. The article presents a description of the history of the development of these processes, as well as the current results of informatization of the healthcare industry in Russia.
