Mª José Cano Hoyos has highlighted the need for Health Managers with developed managerial skills. In this sense, he has emphasized the ‘Metacompetencias‘, What “systematic understanding, attitude, leadership, communication, innovation and creativity, fostering change and teamwork“. In short, managerial competencies go far beyond leadership, in such a way that the leader, manager or intermediate position has elements of personality, values and competencies that influence their performance and the performance of the organization, its professionals and relationships. “We must focus on those skills that can be learned and the most effective methods to learn them”, Highlights the Deputy Director of Training, Selection and Professional Development of SSCC of the Andalusian Health Service.
It is essential to have professional managers and a regulatory framework that facilitates it
Although the professionalization of health managers is essential for the quality and efficiency of the Health System and Health Organizations, it has weaknesses, such as the absence of framework regulations, the lack of a professional career model or accreditation of competencies, economic rewards not consistent with responsibility and arbitrariness in the appointment of positions, as well as threats, such as frequent political changes, the absence of evaluation structures or the uncertainty framework that hinders the development of strategic plans and objectives.
But the professionalization of health managers also has strengths and opportunities. Among the strengths, Mª José Cano Hoyos highlights “the consolidated image of the manager, his high motivation to train and to assume responsibility for the position, as well as his high commitment to professionals and healthcare”. And among the opportunities, “the interest in assuming the challenge of marking lines of professionalization by managers, creating competence maps, having a registry that orders and improves and the rapid social and technological changes that create new areas of professional development and profiles in direction that enrich the system”.
