Abstract
Objective: to present the contributions of the Simplified Competency Management Model in a municipal health secretariat. Method: research of integrated mixed methods of exploratory-descriptive type. The model was applied in a southern Brazilian city, in the following stages: documentary, questionnaire, mapping of gaps and educational proposal.Results: in the first stage, after documentary research, a total of 14 general core competences were described and a questionnaire with specific core competences was chosen, with confirmation of correlation among them; in the second stage, the importance and expression competence at work degrees were obtained, after the questionnaires were filled out by 74 municipal public health managers; in the third one, a formula was adopted for the training priority degree and its classification; the fourth stage presented an educational proposal for the development of one of the competences with the highest priority degree.Conclusion: the model brings contributions by describing general core competences, after documentary research; carrying out the correlation between a questionnaire, containing specific core competences with the general ones; by mapping gaps; and by the proposal of learning trails for the development of competences.
Highlights
Competency management is relatively new in Brazil, but its importance has been increased, being considered synonymous with good management practice[1]
As a result of the first stage, after searching the physical and digital collections of Municipal Health Secretariat (MHS), the Municipal Secretariat for Planning and Economic Development and the City Hall, the documentary consultation was carried out on eighteen official documents of the city, with possible interpretation potential and description of content related to the competences of managers, a survey carried out in November 2017
Another contribution of the first stage is the correlation between the specific general core competences described for the institution (MHS) and the six Domains of MRCESP[8], a questionnaire chosen as a data collection instrument, which contains the specific core competences
Summary
Competency management is relatively new in Brazil, but its importance has been increased, being considered synonymous with good management practice[1]. Competency management models are present in the public and private sectors of many countries, but several of them are complicated and conceptually focus on the needs of the past and present. Competency management is applied in countries that have national health systems, such as Canada, which has been working with core public health competences since 2008(4). The Association of Schools of Public Health in the Europe Region published its first edition of the European List of Core Competences for the Public Health Professional in 2006(5). The Association is composed by health schools from countries such as Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland, France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Poland, Serbia, Hungary and others, presenting the fifth edition of the European List of Core Competences in 2018(6)
