Methodology for Calculating and Analyzing Integrated Healthcare System Assessments Across Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation (A Case Study of the «Healthcare» National Project)

Abstract

The article examines the implementation progress of the national project «Healthcare» across the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The study relies on official data from the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, Rosstat, Unified Interdepartmental Information and Statistical System (EMISS), and the Unified Portal of the Budget System of the Russian Federation («Electronic Budget»). The authors conduct a statistical analysis of the indicators for monitoring the project's implementation and create a distribution of Russian regions based on the level of implementation of the national project «Healthcare».
The methodological approach employs composite indicators, enabling a typology of regions based on their performance against national project targets. The authors establish thatin many regions, socially significant project results have not been achieved, which should be taken into account when allocating budgetary funds to maximize the efficiency of implementing the national project.
The conducted study focuses on a comprehensive differentiation of constituent entities of the Russian Federation in implementing the «Healthcare» national project, identifying institutional and infrastructural constraints, and developing evidence-based recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of budget allocations, taking into account socio-economic specifics of the regions.
The scientific novelty of the study lies in its methodological approach to assessing the integrated implementation level of the national project across constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which includes constructing composite indicators. Its relevance stems from the pressing need to refine the existing financing mechanisms for socially significant projects.
