ABSTRACT: The purpose of the article is to determine excellence in the implementation of Slovenian physicians’ work in public healthcare and the influence of quality management and excellence in public healthcare, and, above all stress management and health preservation of Slovenian physicians. Leading employees nowadays pose a particular challenge for every manager. Healthcare system is an organised system with the function to take care about the fulfilment of objectives linked to a better and more efficient health status and life quality of population. Medical care is financed by compulsory health insurance contributions, voluntary health insurance, by expenses from private means and by budget appropriations. On one hand, with their competency, knowledge, quality implementation of work, physicians take care about successful treatment of patients on a daily basis. On the other hand, there is a question whether public healthcare dedicates enough attention to physicians, so that they can achieve the highest level of excellence. In the research conducted among Slovenian physicians from the primary and tertiary level of public healthcare, we alleged the statements about the excellence of Slovenian physicians in public healthcare. This research is our contribution to the improvement of Slovenian physicians’ excellence in public healthcare.
