The purpose of the work is to conduct a review to identify best international practices of digital technologies in hospital medical care. Materials and methods. This study is a literary review of 45 relevant scientific publications in English, selected by Google Scholar from 2020 to May 2025, focused on digital technologies in surgical departments of clinical hospitals. Priority was given to the sources containing verified data on digital technologies (video systems, robotic surgery systems, IT platforms, etc.) of inpatient medical care included in Scopus and Web of Science. Results. The literature review has shown that digital technologies are radically transforming inpatient medical care, expanding the scope of diagnostic, treatment, and monitoring frameworks. International experience demonstrates successful application of telemedicine technologies, the Internet of Things, robotic systems, and AI in healthcare, including surgery and rehabilitation. The technologies improve the quality of medical services and reduce staff workload; however, they bring challenges of unified standards and cybersecurity. In Russia their successful implementation requires an interdisciplinary approach and proper technological competencies. Furthermore, it is important to rely on international experience, increase collaboration with friendly countries, and plan workforce capacity in digital healthcare.
