As a result, a new type of tasks related to significant transformations in the labor relations regulation of health care organizations was formed. In turn, this fact has led to the emergence of a number of social and labor contradictions concerning economic interests of workers, employers and the state, which in particular led to destructive consequences reflected in increasing imbalances in the labor market, reducing motivation of medical workers to labor and improving professional knowledge and skills for the effective use of modern high-tech equipment, increasing outflow of workers from the health service as a whole and the mass outflow of highly qualified senior and middle-level employees from medical organizations of the peripheral to central territories. The article presents theoretical and conceptual grounds for improving the efficiency of labor relations regulation of in medical organizations, including mechanism of partnership between the state and business. There have been found and analyzed the specific trends and technologies of labor relations regulation typical for the modern stage of healthcare modernization, considered peculiarities of using market and non-market methods and mechanisms in this process.

The specified directions can provide increase of efficiency of the labor relations in organizations of health care on the basis of improvement of material and technical basis of professional activity of medical workers, improvement of mechanisms of stimulation of innovative activity. Implementation of the mechanisms of partnership between the state and business will allow attracting private investments in the health care sector, reducing imbalances in the labor market, which will result in creating the competitive domestic medicine.
