Assessment of the relationship between the state of health care infrastructure and macroeconomic parameters of socio-economic development

Relevance. Achieving the goals of advancing socio-economic development of the Russian Federation requires priority attention to maintaining and strengthening the health of the working-age population. Interdisciplinary scientific analysis aimed at developing guidelines for the development of the healthcare system that are adequate to the tasks of implementing priority national projects is becoming an urgent scientific task.
The purpose is conducting a statistical analysis and assessing the relationship between the macroeconomic characteristics of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation and the availability of medical care.
Objectives: to analyze the regional dynamics of socio-economic indicators of the development of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation; to assess the current state of the healthcare system and identify priority areas for its development.
Methodology. The research is based on a comprehensive approach that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods of statistical analysis. The information support is based on Rosstat data.
Results. As a factor controlled by the regional government, which has a direct impact on achieving the national goals of "population conservation" and "sustainable and dynamic economy", the "Capacity of outpatient clinics, visits per shift per 10,000 people" is used, which determines the level of access to medical care. Econometric models have been built using the example of the Samara Region to assess the impact of this factor on key indicators of the region's level of development: life expectancy, GRP per capita, and labor productivity. The analysis of the mutual influence of the listed indicators allowed us to conclude that there is a strong dependence between them. In the future, based on the data obtained, a digital model can be built that serves as the basis for preparing scenarios for the development strategy of the region, while the list of controlled indicators (national goals) and their influencing factors can be significantly expanded.
Conclusions. The correct prioritization of achieving national goals should be carried out comprehensively, taking into account the interests of not only healthcare, but also other sectors of the economy. In addition to diagnosing the current state of the region, the study provides a practical basis for developing management decisions on strategy formation.
