COVID-19: a challenge for a new transition in the healthcare system (conceptual approach)
The coronavirus pandemic claims to be a "big event". The topic of the pandemic not only attracted attention, but also found that challenges to the public health system were being updated with renewed vigor. In particular, we are talking about intellectual discussions about the current state of Affairs in the health care system. The situation is aggravated by the fact that planning and quality management of the entire system is complicated by the history of its post-Soviet reform. The health care system is undergoing more and more changes, which are ultimately incomprehensible not only to the population, but also to the professional community. The current health system is a typical example of a closed system, since it operates with dynamic and statistical models. Such models suggest a mechanistic approach to the living open system "man". As a result, a person begins to be considered like a mechanical construct, in which one part that has fallen into disrepair can be replaced with another. The authors put forward a conceptual position that this pandemic means the beginning of a "transition period" for existing health care and suggest a further way to develop the system within the framework of intelligent management.
