Relevance: Digital competences significantly affect the ability to use the opportunities offered by digitization [Topol, 2019]. The implementation of integrated care [Goodwin, 2016]. The efficiency of using digital means of communication turned out to be particularly important during the pandemic (Clement et al., 2021). Context and Aims: Competencies can be defined as characteristic employees attributes, that helpful for understanding the current and future performance, attitudes and behaviours of employees [Grant and Baden-Fuller, 2018]. Digital competences are the attributes of the employee that allow the use of digital devices and software in a manner consistent with their capabilities, but subordinated to the users needs. Digital competences of employees are shaped in two ways. The first concerns the competence to operate digital devices for the needs of everyday life. The second way of increasing the digital competences level Results from employee improvement processes as part of professional requirements. The overlapping of digital life and professional competences is a fact and has positive and negative consequences. Findings: Researchers analyzing digital competences have distinguished many possible ways to indicate their comprehensiveness and complexity. In the development of the tool for assessing digital competences of medical workers, an appropriately adapted model indicated in the work of Laar [Laar 2018] was used. The next stage of work on the development of digital competences of medical workers should be the development of appropriate training programs. Innovative Contribution to Policy, Practice and/or Research: The current state of knowledge shows that digital competences are not a simple sum of their components. Both the importance and complexity of the phenomenon of digital competences mean that they should find their place in the MBA in Healthcare curriculum.
