Moscow Vice Mayor Rakova spoke about the Smart Hospitalization project

The Smart Hospitalization project, which gives the patient the opportunity to independently choose the date and hospital for routine treatment, was launched in Moscow. This was stated by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of the capital for Social Development.

After visiting the doctor, the patient's application will now be sent to a single digital platform, hospitals will offer their own options, from which you can choose the most convenient one in the application. Thanks to this, the entire process — from referral to hospitalization — becomes transparent and seamless for both the patient and the doctor, said Rakova.

According to her, as part of the project, if the polyclinic doctor believes that the patient needs routine treatment, he enters the documents into a single information system. "Specialized hospital specialists study each clinical case in absentia and make suggestions on how they can help this patient, what time frame to conduct a consultation and hospitalization," the vice mayor said. After that, the patient is in the EMIAS application.Info sees all hospital offers and can choose a hospital online.

According to Rakova, the project is already producing results. The number of people who received hospital referrals and did not reach it has decreased by more than a third, and "90% of all hospital referrals end with routine hospital care," she added, noting that waiting times for hospitalization have already been reduced by one and a half times.

The Smart Hospitalization project, launched as part of the digitalization of Moscow healthcare, combined many previously disparate elements into a single seamless process. To minimize possible failures, a special hotline has been launched, whose specialists answer questions that arise at any stage of the project.
