RESUMEN
Durante los últimos veinte años, la administración pública y, en particular sus organizaciones sanitarias han puesto de relieve numerosas debilidades en el manejo eficiente de los recursos que no necesariamente aparecían como tales en sus boletines estadísticos. Fallas importantes como la sostenibilidad de buenos sistemas de salud, notable presencia de eventos adversos o una variabilidad no justificada de la práctica clínica, hicieron evidente el hecho de que lo importante no era cuánto dinero se tenía, sino que se hacía con este. Como respuesta, empezaron a asimilar tecnologías que habían resultado exitosas en otros sectores y que podían incorporarse creativamente en este contexto. Un enfoque de gestión es uno diferente a uno de recortes, no se trata de suspender servicios, limitar el acceso o introducir el copago, sino eliminar todo aquello que no crea valor para el paciente, pero consume tiempo y recursos. Desde finales del siglo xx y lo que va del actual, la gerencia en salud ha permitido a las organizaciones sanitarias públicas que la han incorporado, crecer en calidad y en oportunidad de hacer más y mejor salud con menos recursos. Como en todas las cosas, las sombras acompañan a las luces y a veces prevalece la oscuridad, por lo cual es importante conocerlas y saberlas enfrentar(AU)
ABSTRACT
During the last twenty years, a number of failures in the efficient management of resources have been brought to light in the public administration and particularly its healthcare organizations, but these ones were not generally shown in the statistical bulletins. Significant failures such as problems in sustainability of good health systems, many adverse events as a sign of poor quality care, or unjustified variation in medical practice made it clear that the main problem was not the amount of money you have, rather; what you do with that money. As a benchmarking approach, many successful management technologies from other sectors began to be tailored for using them in the public health care organizations. A management approach is something different from budgets cuts; it has nothing to do with eliminating services, restricting access or introducing co-payment; it deals with everything that does not create values for the patient and consume time and resources. Since the end of the 20th century up to now, health management has allowed those public health organizations which have it in place to raise quality and to create opportunities to doing more in health improvement with fewer resources. As it usually happens, the darkness and the light coexist and, sometimes, darkness prevails. That is why it is so important to identify it and to learn how to face it(AU)
