Innovative activities in healthcare institutions of the future: models for overcoming dilemmas

Purpose: The Ukrainian population's insufficient protection from the prospect of high medical costs and the system's structural inefficiency, which is aggravated by an ineffective means of financing healthcare, continue to be the main problems facing the Ukrainian healthcare system. Rising rates of preventable mortality also highlight the shortcomings in the health system. Patients and medical professionals in Ukraine concur that the healthcare system needs significant reform; nevertheless, the current government's reform measures are not well embraced, and there is disturbingly high public mistrust of medical experts. Thus, in order to enable healthcare reformation, new methods, models, and activities need to be developed. However, it is not yet clear how well or how widely these initiatives have been initiated into practice. Methodology: A literature search concerning articles looking at innovative health activities in Ukraine was conducted. Results: In this aspect, only nine research papers were concerned with the topic. There were few studies that examined innovative practices at the institutional and governmental levels. Despite this, there were more innovative initiatives conducted on a national scale than at an institutional level. The implementation of several unique concepts has not yet been fully realised. Implications: Ukraine is currently engaged in a number of innovative healthcare initiatives, especially at the national level. The quality of healthcare in the nation could be greatly improved by engaging in these activities. But there are still many obstacles that must be overcome. Despite these difficulties, several of the suggested models are not only original but also useful, and they might be adopted by other countries as models. Additional investigation is required to reveal all the varieties of innovative healthcare operations in Ukraine.
