The hospital leadership and management competency framework guides the capabilities leadership teams need during this period of healthcare system transformation. It covers strategic thinking, people leadership, quality governance, finance, and digital capability.
Applying the framework helps hospitals standardise criteria for selecting, assessing, and developing leaders at both the hospital and department level. Training programmes can be designed around the competency gaps identified through the framework.
In this new period, greater emphasis is placed on the ability to adapt to policy change, digital transformation, and risk management. Leaders need to combine clinical expertise with modern management skills.
Institutions are encouraged to use the framework as a reference tool when building management talent development roadmaps.
