    The experience of implementing information systems in Russian medical institutions, the legal and ethical difficulties of such systems in Russia and the inapplicability of foreign experience to domestic realities were told to the public by Inna Ashenbrenner, Deputy Director General of KORUS Consulting . In contrast to the domestic difficulties with the informatization of medical services, Maxim Ignatov , a project manager at e-Legion , told the audience about his experience working with several major hospitals in the United States of America. There, the healthcare system and the provision of medical care are built on a completely different principle than in Russia.



    Inna Ashenbrenner on the implementation of information systems in Russia


    Within the framework of the Electronic Russia project, KORUS Consulting has implemented the Federal Standard Medical System, which is allowed for free distribution to medical institutions. However, only a small part of our hospitals are ready to implement this and similar systems.


    Presentation

    The second information system developed by the company is called “Risar” and is a monitoring system for obstetric care. Her testing, problems and prospects were debated for a long time in the hall after the performance of Inna Viktorovna.

    Inna Viktorovna also noted that the Russian government allocated 24 billion rubles for the modernization of IT systems in the medinica for the next two years.

    Information technology in medical facilities is not yet available in most of Russia. “Because when you don’t have aspirin, but you have an iPad, it’s cool!” - summed up Inna Viktorovna.

    Maxim Ignatov on the US healthcare system


    The information system for American hospitals combines several smaller subsystems. And it allows you to take into account electronic patient records, a medical history throughout a person’s life, taking medications by patients and reactions to them, the work of nurses, doctors and pharmacists of the hospital. Such systems in the USA have a high level of protection of information and patient confidentiality, as well as a failure protection system. Programs do not stop working even in the event of a complete power outage in the hospital, but continue to record the condition of patients and signal the need to take medication or perform other necessary operations.


    Presentation

    In his speech, Maxim recalled the notorious Doctor House series and explained that what we see in this and similar films is really the reality of American health care. The only difference is that brilliant doctors are often helped by electronic assistants, combined analytical directories of diseases, treatment methods, drugs, and an archive that records all the methods and medicines used by US doctors to treat certain diseases.

    Maxim expressed confidence that one day in Russia an effective healthcare system will also be built that will monitor the health of citizens and provide the necessary assistance on time.

    In addition to presentations by employees of well-known companies with experience in developing software for medical institutions, young innovative projects in the field of medicine were presented at the meeting.

    So, the founder of Speckle Diagnostics, Daria Mokrova, spoke about non-contact diagnostics of human bioparameters using sensors based on the principle of recording a pulse wave. The sensor measures the vibration of the skin surface and microcirculation inside, and its reliability is equated to the results of a standard ECG.

    In addition to Daria, a very interesting project was presented by the representative of the Zvorykinsky project in St. Petersburg, Andrei Dodin . The so-called Maxygen apparatusIt is created to simplify and accelerate PCR diagnostics. Early and affordable (the cost of the analysis will be 10 rubles) diagnosis of infectious diseases using such a device will significantly reduce mortality.

    If we talk about the 18th meeting of the Club of Innovators as a whole, it was very busy, the hall was crowded, latecomers were forced to stand against the walls and in the corridor. It was noticeable that the topic of medical informatization is very important and painful for our country and the world as a whole.

    PS


    We, the e-Legion company, are looking for two C # programmers to develop the very information systems that Maxim Ignatov talked about. You can participate in a very important project, as these systems really work effectively and save many lives.
