Formation of an effective management team in a Russian medical organization

Abstract

In today’s unstable business environment, there is active development in the medical services market. Competition, as one of the main features of market relations, has a significant impact on medical organizations. The healthcare market has its specific characteristics, as the outcomes of medical organizations’ activities include not only economic but also certain medical effects. The state, in turn, engages in creating and maintaining a competitive environment in the medical services sector through the enforcement of antitrust legislation. Consequently, the management of the organization needs to constantly monitor and maintain competitiveness in the healthcare market to ensure its development and successful functioning. The managerial team of a medical organization plays a crucial role in accomplishing this task. This article explores the problem of forming an effective management team that, despite changes in external environmental factors and the internal state of the medical organization, organizes the work of the team aimed at the successful implementation of both general and key competencies of the organization and its individual specialists, thereby enhancing the competitiveness and stability of the organization in its market segments. Methodological approaches to forming an effective management team are presented. Field research on the stages and results of forming a management team in a Russian medical organization is provided. Directions and recommendations for forming an effective management team are developed. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity of using technologies for forming an effective management team in the practice of Russian medical organizations.
