This article focuses on innovative development of Health Care Sector of the future in terms of modern challenges of the Covid-19 Coronavirus Infection in Ukraine
Aims: To identify innovative healthcare delivery models that have been implemented in Ukraine as well as to evaluate their effectiveness in healthcare improvement of the access and delivery, availability and distribution of medical equipment and PPE, healthcare infrastructure, healthcare workforce development and retention, and development of healthcare information systems in Ukraine.
Study design: In this study a mixed-approach strategy that combines quantitative and qualitative research methodologies was utilised.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted on patients, professionals’ healthcare establishment and policy maker stakeholders in Ukraine. It is a mix of different evaluations on the topic.
Methodology: Surveys, interviews, and questionnaires were examples of data collecting tools. The research was conducted online, offline, or both means. Data analysis processes included both quantitative and qualitative methods.
Results: Most countries adopted Beveridge principle-based health care system, which were 90% efficient and 98% pandemic resistant. Masks, gloves, and PPE were globally limited, and hospitals had 73, 35% medical equipment and 57% personal protective equipment in April 2020, but 32, 9% and 67,5% in December 2020 due to COVID-19 instances. In December 2020, hospital personnel rose from 85, 56% (Chernihiv region) to 94% to serve new COVID-19 patients (Kherson area). Technology, data analytics, AI, and the block chain may fix the coronavirus. Facebook is the finest example of using digital technology. Another example is to produce digital maps of population. Government efficiency and resources have powered pandemic responses.
Conclusion:
Ukraine must adopt new healthcare delivery methods and must stock and use medical and PPE. A strong, patient-centered healthcare system requires effective health finance. Healthcare professionals need ongoing training to stay. A hospital IT development initiative is needed to improve efficiency as Ukraine struggled with healthcare information systems during this pandemic.
