Efficiency of Healthcare and the Potential of Private Medical Organizations in the Regions of the Russian Federation

The healthcare system has, as a rule, three groups of tasks: maintaining the level of health, taking responsibility and justice for citizens. In general, the extent to which these goals are achieved is related to the performance of the healthcare system. Consequently, the performance of the health system is a multidimensional and very confusing concept that can be assessed at the macroeconomic level, at the health system level, or at the micro level, as the efficiency of health actors. The paper analyzes the efficiency of healthcare and the potential of private medical organizations in the regions of the Russian Federation. DEA method was used in order to evaluate and compart the efficiency of healthcare in 83 regions of the Russian Federation. The data that was used in the analysis of healthcare efficiency and the potential of private medical organizations was taken from the EMISS system, which is a state information resource uniting official state information statistical resources generated by entities of official statistics. In the result of the work, the most and least efficient regions were identified. The potential of private medical organizations was assessed, for which a number of economic and demographic indicators were analyzed. As a result of the work, the main factors influencing the healthcare efficiency in the regions were identified. Also, maps were created with the classification of the regions of the Russian Federation on the efficiency and potential of private medical organizations.
