The purpose of the article is to identify methods of measuring competences and competence gaps of healthcare providers. In this context, competences are defined as the ability of an organisation (business) to combine expert knowledge and resources in a way that enables achieving achievement of strategic objectives. Competence gaps can be identified based on healthcare needs maps – a strategic government document based mostly on public payer data. The main part of the article concentrates on practical examples of using publicly available data in order to identify, quantify and assess competence related gaps. The recommendations for healthcare policymakers to address the identified gaps are also provided.

The aim of our discussion is to look at the socio-economic analysis. It should be assumed that this is the basic resource of various types of knowledge (policy knowledge), which - in principle - is to provide the basis for making public decisions. As a result, these decisions are to be optimal or better than those decisions that are based only on intuition, belief, etc. This is, therefore, an analysis that is to be a resource of rationalized, verifiable knowledge from reliable sources.
