Competencies in Healthcare Administration
Viewed as a whole, competencies in healthcare administration
most commonly represent some aspect of five specific themes:
Values – integrity and ethics .1
Cognition – thinking and problem solving .2
Interpersonal behavior – communicating and listening .3
Valuing diversity – tolerance and respect .4
Change orientation – strategic planning and risk taking .5
Regardless of the domain of healthcare administration as
described by ACHE, competencies in this field usually speak to
one or more of the five themes listed here.
How to Think about Competencies
A Competency is:
involves a collection of human responses to one’s surrounding •
including what one knows, how one acts, and the decision to
understand when, where, and how to apply this knowledge and
skill
acquired over time through mindful practice, processing of •
feedback, and more dedicated practice
Represents a goal for human performance and being that •
assures degrees of success if mastered and practiced
signifies a level of accomplishment valued by others both in •
specific professional environments, as well as in the general
community
Evolution of Healthcare Leadership Standards
American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) recognized
the critical and urgent need to identify and organize a system of
administrative practice standards in the field of healthcare
management.
Initial discussions and investigation began in the mid 1990s. •
Recognition that the healthcare industry was fast becoming •
too complex and involved to rely on commonly held beliefs
of management and leadership
Major questions emerged in this initial conceptual phase: 1. •
how should valid standards be determined; 2. would these
standards be generic or discipline specific; 3. are there
common standards for other healthcare professionals
beyond the membership of ACHE?
Initial Decisions
It quickly became clear that other professional associations in
healthcare management faced the same pressures and had the
same set of mandates as those of American College (ACHE).
It also become clear that such an enterprise would require
shared resources, commitment, and expertise from other
organizations similar to ACHE in their purpose and mission.
In 2002 the Healthcare Leadership Alliance was formed to
undertake this project.

Healthcare Leadership Alliance (HLA)
HLA is a consortium of premier professional healthcare
administrative associations representing over 140,000
professional managers in the healthcare industry.
Purpose: to represent broad administrative roles across hospital
administration, medical practice administration, nursing
administration, healthcare financial management, and healthcare
information management
Charter: to develop a directory of administrative competencies
common to all healthcare professionals
HLA Directory
In 2005 the first directory of competencies in healthcare administration
was published:
Contained 232 competencies common to all healthcare
professionals
68 additional competencies were added as specific to
certain disciplines in healthcare management
Forms of psychometric research such as job analysis were
used to identify the competencies
Competencies were grouped into 5 domains:
1. Communication and relationship
management
2. Leadership
3. Professionalism
4. Knowledge of healthcare environment
5. Business skills and knowledge
Competency Directory Organization
Five areas of information are presented for each competency:

competencies are grouped

National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL)
Between 2005 and 2010 NCHL developed its own competency
model for leadership development for healthcare administrators
Respond to the growing calls for healthcare reform notably done through
the Institute of Medicine’s seminal reports: To Err is Human (1999) and
Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001)
Based on the critical thinking of top theorists, researchers, and
practitioners in the field
Designed to address the future trends of health in the 21st century
Competency model identified three major competency categories:
Transformation, Execution, People
A total of 26 individual competencies were clustered in these 3 major

All leadership practice needs to be visionary and adaptive
Building loyalty and trust is essential for quality management
and leadership
Healthcare administrators must constantly engage in selfmastery and lifelong learning
Strategic thinking is paramount for success
