The identity of theoretical and experimental approaches when prototyping regional projects in the field of healthcare.

Abstract

The formalization of processes for finding the parameters of a prototype model of a medical organization implementing a regional project is based on the unity of theoretical and experimental approaches. The purpose of the study was an attempt to create a unified and harmonious theoretical foundation for conducting an experiment in order to find a prototype of a medical organization implementing projects at the regional level. In order to reveal the potential for solving technological problems facing project stakeholders, formalization of approaches was carried out for experimentally finding the parameters of a prototype project for a medical organization implementing a regional project. Materials and methods. The research materials were the works of Russian and foreign scientists related to the issues of mathematical modeling and prototyping. In order to study the research question, more than 30 literature sources were analyzed, directly or indirectly addressing the problems of practical application of object prototyping methods. Methods of system analysis, comparison, systemic and integrated approaches, as well as mathematical modeling methods were used. Results. Complex, multi-level systems when implementing projects in the regions are poorly structured and, accordingly, not fully formalized, so the experimental approach is especially relevant when searching for prototyping tools. The degree of formalization of approaches to searching for a prototype of a project object depends on the completeness (saturation) of processes, their structure and the degree of correlation of process data in a medical organization to process performers, operations, and management objects. Prototyping is designed to optimize the procedures for planning, analyzing and processing the results of research data based on a mathematical foundation. The prototyping technique is primarily aimed at saving resources (labor, financial, time) as much as possible, therefore, justification of the need and mastery of mathematical foundations in formalizing approaches to prototyping is a fundamental factor and the purpose of this discussion. Findings. System analysis using the unity of theoretical and experimental approaches, in the author’s opinion, will allow for a deeper synthesis of knowledge about the potential possibilities for forming decisions through a prototype of a medical organization implementing projects in the healthcare industry.
