Abstract
Abstract. The study aims at diagnosing the managerial competencies of the medical managers as well as practical tools for their development in order to enhance healthcare in crisis and under unstable conditions. The authors suggest a methodical approach to form a profile of the managerial competencies of the heads of medical facilities, which is based on the use of the method of expert evaluations and provides for the three stages: preparatory (within which the scientific and methodological basis for analysis is formed), evaluatory (which involves diagnosis of the managerial competencies of the medical managers in the context of three groups: instrumental, interpersonal and systemic), and recommendatory (which provides practical tools for the development of the medical institution head’s competencies in order to enhance healthcare in crisis and under unstable conditions). To form the basis of the study a questionnaire was created, which lists managerial competencies in terms of three groups: instrumental, interpersonal and systemic. The survey was conducted among the heads of medical institutions, their departments and the chief nurses of the healthcare institutions in Precarpathia. The article substantiates that nowadays it is not enough for a medical institution manager to have only a high level of knowledge on medicines, but also be aware of the elements of financial management, strategic planning and marketing, risk and conflict management, high-rate readiness for change and teamwork. The study of managerial competencies of the supervising physicians allowed to create profiles of the managerial competencies of the actual and future medical managers, to offer practical tools for their managerial competencies development, taking account of the need to work in crisis and under unpredictable conditions.
 Keywords: medical care, heads of medical institutions, managerial competencies, instability.
