Professional and managerial competencies enhancing organizational competences of emergency medical units

This article is focused on identifying within managers of Emergency Medical Units (EMU) the common professional competencies of medical personnel, as well as the managerial competencies that significantly shape such organizations. The proposed lists of managerial and professional competencies were created based on the analysis of healthcare competencies models as literature studies and own author’s observations in the analyzed entities. To capture the complexity and dynamic quality of the EMU manager’s role and reflect the dynamic realities in health leadership today, the managerial competencies model distinguishes five domains with 26 competencies, while the model of professional competencies of medical staff employed in Polish EMU takes in eight domains. To achieve superior organizational performance of such entities and to gain strategic goals, it is very important to identify which set of professional and managerial competencies is required. Thus, it is can be essential to clarify the areas of strategic competence in which these organizations must be competent, if the personnel of such are to succeed. Hence, there is a need to integrate professional and managerial competencies with organizational competences. Unfortunately, this area is not yet fully developed. The author’s future empirical research would entail focusing primarily on the competences of EMU in Poland and the role that people competencies (whether managerial and professional) play in developing these.
