Abstract

Introduction. The Russian healthcare system is in the process of transformation and changes, trying, on the one hand, to solve the accumulated problems, and on the other hand, to meet the modern agenda in the form of new challenges in the field of healthcare and rapidly developing information technologies. Meanwhile, in the course of ongoing reforms, ques- tions of the formation and development of the intellectual potential of employees of medical organizations remain outside the brackets. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to rethink various approaches to intellectual potential, and to identify trends in this area. Material and methods. The information base of the study was the Federal State Statistics Service data, as well as a mass questionnaire survey among doctors and nurses. Results. The study showed that the number of residents and graduate students is increasing, while the proportion of those who defended their dissertations is decreasing, so it is premature to talk about the development and growth of the base of intellectual potential in the medical field, this issue requires additional study to develop measures to reverse the situation. As a result of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to improve the management efficiency in medical organizations, create a favorable socio-psychological climate in the team. To solve these problems, the authors highlight the necessary areas of work of medical organizations. Conclusions. The article provides a review of theoretical approaches to the concept of «intellectual potential», identifica- tion of its role in the development and growth of organizations, methods for assessing its components.
