Innovative Culture of Oncology Service

Abstract

The policy of the state, based on innovation and investment, stated in the policy documents of the President and the Government of Russia, should be reflected in the policy of specific organizations. It is necessary to evaluate the innovative culture of the organization before choosing innovative changes. No studies have been conducted on the comprehensive assessment of the state of the innovative culture of medical organizations of the oncology profile. The innovative culture of a medical organization is the level of implementation of the most advanced technological and structural solutions. In the innovative culture of the medical organization, three main components can be identified: personnel, logistical, technological. The aim of the study is to study the state of the innovative culture of the oncology service. The research base is the Ivanov Regional Oncology Dispensary of the Ivanov Region Health Department. The study programme involved the use of sociological, expert, mathematical, statistical and analytical methods. Surveillance units: medical worker (doctor, average medical worker) and logistical resources. The study was conducted in 2020. There has been a decrease in the innovative culture of the medical organization of oncology profile on all its components, including: personnel, logistics, technological. The decline in the innovative culture of medical professionals is due to a low culture of self-development, not the ability to adapt to change. The innovative culture of medical equipment is associated with a decrease in the accumulation rate of fixed assets, as well as its not full use for high-tech assistance. Technological culture has been reduced by disrupting the culture of communication in the process of assistance, ensuring uniqueness and convenience in its provision. Improving the organization's logistics base, as well as increasing the innovative commitment of medical personnel, especially mid-sized health workers, should be a priority in planning activities to enhance the innovative culture of the oncology organization.
