Federal trends in healthcare digitalization were discussed in Perm.

"Today, Perm ranks among the leaders in the digitalization index. In the Perm Krai, 90% of patients schedule doctor appointments remotely, and residents regularly use the Health services on the Gosuslugi website. Furthermore, telemedicine is rapidly developing in the Perm region: the number of residents receiving remote consultations with medical specialists, regardless of their place of residence, is growing every year," noted Dmitry Makhonin, Governor of the Perm Krai, in his welcoming speech.

Experts shared their experiences in data-driven management, information system implementation, and medical organizations' adaptation to digital change. They discussed the development of a unified digital framework in healthcare and the key benefits of digitalizing business processes. Forum participants also visited local clinics and hospitals, where they learned about the practical application of digital technologies.
