Abstract

The article addresses systematic investment in medical personnel development amid acute staffing shortages and healthcare reform in Ukraine. The research aims to systematize theoretical and methodological foundations for personnel investment and develop conceptual approaches to effective human capital investment policy in healthcare sector. The study employs systematic analysis of scientific literature, comparative analysis of investment concepts, and synthesis of methodological approaches combining financial, clinical and social effectiveness dimensions. The research identifies evolutionary transformation from traditional HR concept focused on short-term metrics to modern paradigms treating personnel as strategic assets with measurable economic returns. Human capital concept provided methodological foundation for financial instruments application, skills-first approach reoriented investment logic toward real competencies, while value-based concepts integrated financial and non-financial performance dimensions. Institutional concept emphasizes human capital role as public good and state priority. The study reveals specific features of medical personnel investment determined by interrelations between staffing practices, clinical quality and financial outcomes. Nursing Human Capital Value Model formalizes cyclical logic of transforming investments into economic benefits through competency enhancement, care quality improvement and cost reduction. Medical investments are realized through quality and patient safety indicators, requiring HR integration with clinical and financial management. Skills-first paradigm and psycho-emotional wellbeing investment for burnout prevention emphasize long-term personnel development programs necessity. The research substantiates comprehensive methodological approach combining financial indicators, clinical quality metrics and social indicators for effectiveness assessment. Integration of ROI, NPV, IRR methods with Balanced Scorecard for intermediate monitoring and SROI for social value consideration forms foundation for unified assessment system adaptable to Ukrainian medical organizations. Research findings provide practical framework for managers in human capital investment policy formation and substantiate personnel programs financing at national healthcare system level.
