Determining the dependence of medical staff competences and effectiveness of patients’ health care in health care units might be of high importance in the process of managing medical facilities. Determining these relations will allow proper measures to be taken aiming at increasing the effectiveness of patients’ health care and also improving functioning of the medical facilities. This paper looks into the issue of assessing the competences of medical staff. These competences were determined by their scope, systematization, core, and the role they might play in patient treatment and care in health care unites. The core of the analyzed competencies are knowledge and skills. Identification and reinforcement of these competences may have crucial influence on the quality and effectiveness of health care having its roots in adequate medical staff management at the medical facilities.
