Abstract
in English, German

Leadership in healthcare institutions has a direct impact on the practice of the medical and nursing professions. The respective leadership style that is cultivated in a medical institution therefore has a direct impact on the personnel and thus a direct impact on the treatment of patients, in both senses of the word. Leadership in healthcare should therefore inspire, motivate, and guide healthcare workers to use their individual and collective skills as well as the available resources in the best possible way for the benefit of patients. This is the task and obligation of all those working in the healthcare system. The German Society of Ophthalmology (DOG) has established a leadership academy for ophthalmologists to meet the requirements of the modern healthcare market for leadership qualifications.

Führung in Einrichtungen des Gesundheitswesens hat einen direkten Einfluss auf die Ausübung des ärztlichen und pflegerischen Berufs. Der jeweilige Führungsstil, der in einer medizinischen Einrichtung gepflegt wird, hat daher unmittelbare Auswirkungen auf die Mitarbeiter und damit direkte Auswirkungen auf die – im doppelten Wortsinn – Behandlung der Patienten. Führung im Gesundheitswesen soll daher die Mitarbeiter im Gesundheitswesen inspirieren, motivieren und anleiten, ihre individuellen und kollektiven Fähigkeiten sowie die vorhandenen Ressourcen bestmöglich zum Wohle der Patienten einzusetzen. Dies ist Aufgabe und Verpflichtung aller im Gesundheitswesen Tätigen. Die Deutsche Ophthalmologische Gesellschaft (DOG) hat eine Führungsakademie für Augenärzte ins Leben gerufen, um den Anforderungen des modernen Gesundheitsmarktes an Führungsqualifikationen gerecht zu werden.

Keywords: Education; Healthcare market; Healthcare system; Leadership academy for ophthalmologists; Leadership qualification; Leadership style.
