Abstract

Goal. To propose an author's approach to assessing the intellectual potential of medical organizations in the context of modern modernization, innovation, digitalization, changing formats and standards of medical care, as well as existing socio-economic transformations and challenges. Tasks. To analyze existing approaches to the interpretation of the concept of intellectual potential of organizations; to systematize the main structural components of the intellectual capital and potential of each employee and the development of the organization as a whole; to propose an integrated approach to assessing the intellectual potential of medical organizations; to formulate conclusions relevant to the management and personnel management in a medical organization. Methodology. The author uses methods of general analysis and synthesis, empirical and analytical methods, system and process approaches, expert assessments and generalizations, classifications, abstractions, comparisons, visualization, as well as modeling and iteration. The methods of content analysis of scientific sources were used, various methodological approaches were studied in the context of definitions of the concepts of "intellectual capital" and "intellectual potential" in modern conditions of development of organizations. The methodological basis for building an integrated approach to assessing the intellectual potential of medical organizations was the variants of a descriptive review of scientific publications (articles, monographs, periodicals), monitoring studies on the designated topic. Results. The author's approach to a comprehensive assessment of intellectual potential is proposed based on the calculation of an integral indicator, developed procedures for selecting the necessary indicators and statistical data. The developed methodology makes it possible to assess the intellectual potential of an organization in the format of visualization of calculated indicators and markers of the "traffic light" type in the context of modernization of the industry, the development of innovations and information technologies in domestic medicine at the level of individual medical organizations. Conclusions. The rapid intellectualization of all branches of activity and a significant increase in the proportion of intellectualization of labor, based on the mental functions of an individual in the performance of their professional duties, require new approaches to assessing intellectual potential. Medicine, as one of the most knowledge-intensive fields of activity, using the latest technologies and know-how in the provision of medical care, should pay special attention to monitoring the intellectual potential not only at the level of a medical organization, but also of each individual (employee). The key scientific task is to form approaches that will improve the efficiency of medical organizations in order to implement competent management decisions (including at the personnel management level) to unlock the intellectual potential of each employee.
