Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Anecdotal evidence suggests the healthcare lags behind others with respect to leadership development practices and other human resources functions, but these issues have not been systematically investigated. There is a requirement to ascertain the training needs of the healthcare leaders, keeping the competencies required for a successful health care leader as a benchmark, and devising the leadership development programmes for the healthcare leaders. This would be of paramount importance in an Op scenario. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the training needs in health care professionals for better goals. To achieve this aim the training needs of the Health Care professionals was assessed against the Healthcare Leaders Competency Model (HLCM) version 2.1 of National Centre for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL). The various leadership development programmes being conducted for the health care leaders were also studied. Methodology: Based on 26 desired competencies, assessment was made among health care professionals to find out the level of competence and the training need to develop that competence. A total of 115 responses with a response rate of 38.3% were received which was subjected to Cronbach’s alpha and internal consistency was > 0.9 in all competencies. Frequency percentage was calculated for all the 26 competencies, to find out the level of competence and the training need to develop that competency. Preferred modalities as well the preferred duration were also ascertained using the frequency percentage. Data was statistically analyzed for existing level of competency, training need to develop the competencies, preferred modality to develop that competency and preferred duration of training to develop that competency. For each of the competency (measured on Likert scale of 1-5) mean and standard deviation was also calculated, for both the categories of Healthcare leaders i.e. those from the forces and other Govt sectors and those from private sectors, and subjected to analysis. Similarly mean of training need was calculated for both the categories of health care leaders and p value was derived using unpaired t-test. Results: Healthcare leaders are competent in their core field of medical profession and team approach has always be the hallmark of these individuals. This study has brought out what is generally spoken of medical professionals i.e lack of financial, IT and human resource mgt. The study also brings out that healthcare leaders are poor in the management of processes and projects. Conclusion: This study suggests that healthcare leaders be given training in various management skills including human resource management and finance in addition to their professional training to make them better leaders.
