FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN DIGITALIZING HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND DIRECTIONS FOR ITS APPLICATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

This article examines the foreign experience of developing digitalization in the services sector, particularly in healthcare, and the directions for its application in the conditions of Uzbekistan. It is shown that in the economies of developed countries, the share of the services sector in gross domestic product amounts to 65–80%, with the digital economy demonstrating an average annual growth rate of 20%. The study analyzes the International Monetary Fund's classification of services and their organizational structure, and comparatively examines the practical experience of France, Austria, and Lithuania in digitalizing healthcare services. The findings show that the experience of foreign countries in creating a unified electronic medical data platform, remote monitoring of medical services, and implementing digital monitoring mechanisms can be applied in Uzbekistan within the framework of the “Digital Uzbekistan — 2030” strategy. Based on the conclusions obtained, practical proposals are developed for accelerating the digital transformation of the services sector, particularly healthcare, in our country.
