SYSTEM AND SYNERGETIC METHODOLOGY TO RESEARCH DOCTOR'S PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES IN THE MULTIPROFILE HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The national strategy for a new health care system formation in Ukraine requires medical institutions to comply with national and international standards of medical service quality and staff training, based on the concepts of their professional competencies, provided by undergraduate education and postgraduate training of doctors, nurses and managers. The goals of radical reform of this system call for the need of additional studying and updating of methodological approaches to the formation of health care workers' competencies on the basis of modern post-non-classical scientific picture of the world. The aim of the research. To determine the system and synergetic methodology and the program directions for research of professional competencies of the employees in the multiprofile health care institutions in the frame of the modern post-non-classical synergetic discourse. Material and methods. Theoretical research was conducted in the frame of the post-non-classical scientific paradigm with the use of system and synergetic analysis. Program areas of the research were determined on the project-conceptual modelling and forecasting of applied research work within the activities of a multipfofile health care institution. Results. In the determination and implementation of program areas of research of the list of professional competencies specific to a multipfofile health care institutions employees with a purpose of providing integrated medical care, it is expedient to adhere to system and synergetic modelling. It is necessary to identify the main classification features and descriptors of professional competencies of the medical institutions employees, in particular on the basis of ontological approach and method of group expert evaluation, understanding the studied set of professional competencies as a system of interconnected and interdependent competencies which is an open, nonlinear, dissipative and with a certain level of complexity and self-organization system. Conclusions. To scientifically substantiate the multidisciplinary system of formation and development of the professional competencies of the multiprofile medical institution workers, it is necessary to create a reliable model of this system based on modern theoretical and methodological principles in the post-non-classical scientific paradigm, i.e. on system and synergetic approach via use of both general and special methods of cognition.
