CARNOTA LAUZAN, Orlando. Towards conceptualization of health management based on particularities. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.3, pp. 501-523. ISSN 0864-3466.
Management as a discipline structured in concepts, objectives and principles emerges at the beginning of the 20th century. Although it was originally linked to the industrial world, the economic and social development has generated a number of dedicated lines associated to specific branches and sectors. In the conduct of health systems and services, the equivalences of that management is health management, which is considered a relatively new discipline. As such, it still lacks a body of concepts that unequivocally will identify it as an independent discipline and will set the difference and the reasons why it may exist.The present paper is the result of several years of study to determine the particularities of the health services and systems, which make their conduction be based on concepts, objectives, values and performances inherent to them. These results favor the criteria of conceptualization and a methodology for this discipline in the future, which would help to "personalize" those managerial skills and technologies stemming from other sectors and branches, to develop those inherent to it and to improve the processes of formation and development of managers through the contribution of the elements that would sustain this discipline.
