Digitalization of healthcare and health status of medical workers

Abstract

The labor activity of modern doctors of various specialties is inextricably linked with pronounced mental, nervous and emotional stress, as well as the complex impact of physical, chemical and biological factors, the simultaneous influence of which can lead to the development of a wide range of occupational diseases. The intensive introduction of digitalization in healthcare also leads to a significant negative impact of modern technologies on the health of doctors and medical personnel. The analysis of the literature made it possible to identify priority areas for the introduction of digitalization in healthcare: improvement of the regulatory framework for the use of information systems, creation of specialized training centers for employees, development of convenient and well-optimized information systems and interface, scientific justification and development of preventive measures aimed at preserving the health of health workers. In this regard, it is advisable to take measures to develop the skills of safe use of electronic devices, leading a healthy lifestyle, which will further minimize the potential risks of negative impact of information and communication technologies on the health of medical workers.
