CURRENT TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE FACILITY MANAGEMENT: ANALYSIS OF WORLD EXPERIENCE
Abstract
The article explores contemporary trends in healthcare facility management, emphasizing their significance in enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility of medical services. The topic's relevance is determined by the rapid transformation of healthcare institutions, driven by technological advancements, the increasing demand for patient-centered care, and the need for resource optimization. This research aims to analyze global approaches to healthcare facility management and identify strategies that can be adapted to improve the effectiveness of medical institutions. The methodology is based on a systematic approach to examining management strategies, including assessing digitalization processes, artificial intelligence implementation, and automation in medical services. The study employs comparative analysis to identify the most effective management practices across different healthcare systems. The findings reveal that digitalization is central to modernizing healthcare facility management. Introducing electronic medical records, telemedicine, and artificial intelligence significantly reduces administrative burdens, enhances service accessibility, and improves decision-making processes. A patient-centered approach has gained considerable importance, ensuring personalized medical care and fostering better communication between healthcare providers and patients. Integrating sustainable development principles into healthcare management has also been highlighted, focusing on reducing environmental impact through energy-efficient practices and waste management. The study underscores the growing role of financial optimization, emphasizing outsourcing, value-based healthcare models, and public-private partnerships. These mechanisms contribute to cost reduction, enhance resource allocation, and facilitate investments in innovative medical technologies. Furthermore, workforce management remains a key challenge, necessitating continuous professional development programs and incentives to retain skilled healthcare professionals. This study's practical significance lies in its applicability to healthcare management reforms, particularly post-crisis recovery. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, healthcare administrators, and industry stakeholders seeking to improve operational efficiency and ensure high-quality medical services. By integrating global best practices, healthcare institutions can enhance patient care, optimize expenditures, and create a sustainable healthcare environment adapted to modern challenges.
