MECHANISMS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT OF HEALTHCARE STAFF

Purpose: to develop a conceptual paradigm for managing employees’ professional development in modern healthcare institutions. Materials and Methods. This article presents a modern paradigm for the system of managing the professional development of healthcare institution employees, which should take into account contemporary personnel management tools, the experience of foreign countries with a well-developed healthcare system, as well as the realities, potential, and opportunities of Ukraine’s healthcare sector. The research materials are based on scientific articles by Ukrainian and foreign scientists. Methods of structuring, analyzing, and summarising information are also used. Results. Significant transformations are currently taking place in Ukraine’s healthcare sector. However, effective tools and mechanisms for managing the professional development of healthcare institution employees have not yet been proposed. This paradigm should be based on the principles of strategic management. Thus, healthcare institutions should develop a personnel policy and strategy, review the system and forms of employee remuneration, improve motivation and incentive mechanisms, and introduce an effective personnel development and advancement system. Conclusions. Developing a modern personnel management paradigm for healthcare institutions, which incorporates strategic management mechanisms, psychological aspects of operations, and economic and social methods of influence, ultimately aims to improve the efficiency of personnel activities and the quality of medical services provided at the national level.
