IMPROVING THE ACCOUNTING OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS IN STATE MEDICAL ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

This article investigates the theoretical foundations of intangible asset accounting in public healthcare institutions and examines their economic and social significance under digital transformation. The research reveals that intangible assets — including electronic medical records, health information systems, licenses, clinical protocols, medical databases, and intellectual resources have become the main drivers of service efficiency and organizational performance in healthcare institutions. An Integrated Assessment Index (IAI) model is developed based on five indicators: value of information systems, clinical licenses, medical database value, efficiency of electronic services, and intellectual capacity. The findings demonstrate that relying solely on financial indicators to assess intangible assets is insufficient, and a multidimensional approach that incorporates social benefits and service performance must be applied. The results provide practical implications for improving accounting policies, enhancing funding efficiency, and strategically managing intellectual resources within the digital economy environment of the healthcare sector.
