Monitoring and evaluation in the field of health care in the system of local self-government
The process of managing the health care system at the level of local self-government bodies should include monitoring and evaluation of the health care system. Digital technologies expand the possibilities of effective monitoring and evaluation in the field of health care. At the level of local self-government bodies of the Vinnytsia urban territorial community (Ukraine), a system of monitoring and evaluation of the health care system using digital technologies has been developed, implemented and used. This system of monitoring and evaluation using digital technologies makes it possible to assess the needs of the population of a defined territory in the field of health care, helps local self-government managers to evaluate the results and performance indicators of the health care system, to forecast the results of the implementation of certain local programs and measures, determine their economic efficiency and expediency. The experience of using the monitoring and evaluation system of the health care system by the local self-government bodies of the Vinnytsia urban territorial community with the use of digital technologies has confirmed the effectiveness of the management and effectiveness of the proposed monitoring and evaluation system both in normal conditions and in conditions of new challenges and problems: the COVID-19 pandemic and military aggression against Ukraine.
