Gestão por Objetivos/ Contratualização Interna
Para alcançar resultados específicos a partir da definição desses objetivos departamentais, as organizações podem usar um processo chamado gestão por objetivos (MBO).
O termo e o conceito foram introduzidos pelo especialista em administração Peter Drucker (1954). MBO é um conceito de gestão integrada, contendo elementos da função de planeamento juntamente com gestão participativa, colaboração, motivação e controle.
É o processo de estabelecimento de metas colaborativo pelo gerente e subordinado. O grau em que os objetivos são alcançados desempenha um papel importante na avaliação e recompensa do desempenho do subordinado.
O MBO demonstra as inter-relações das funções gerenciais e a abordagem de sistemas de gestão. Portanto, o MBO também é discutido em outros capítulos deste livro. Esta seção, no entanto, está principalmente preocupada com o significado de MBO em relação ao estabelecimento e alcance de objetivos.
At the same time, the hospital services are more differentiated, medical professionals get more specialized, medicines and treatment are more precise.
Healthcare is more and more centered on the professionals role and bureaucracy then on the person.
a new paradox emerges. The dichotomy of high differentiation and increased disintegration, particularly for patients with multimorbidity and aged.
This approach (integrated care) is complemented by the concept of people-centred models of care, which focuses on meeting the health needs and expectations of people throughout the life-course. It aims to balance the rights and needs of patients with their responsibilities and capacity as stakeholders in the health system.
[Describe the route from conventional care to integrated services]
We are pretty fare from high-value care.
A system that is more and more detached from individual and population needs. Ignoring that today’s needs differ from those observed in the past.
Population aging and multimorbidity,
the increase in citizens’ expectations,
fiscal constraints in a context of low economic growth and inflation,
the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases, or even the digital society, pose new and essential challenges to a structurally inflexible and rigid health system.
A system that has proven incapable of promoting health and preventing disease, eliminating variability and inequity in access, and providing integrated care focused on people’s needs.
A system like this bridge in Choluteca, Honduras, could not adjust to the river course.
First of all, if we want to lose something, we need to know what that thing is.
So, when we talk about high-value care, we mean providing the best care possible, efficiently using resources, and achieving optimal results for each patient.
That is, best care, best use of resources, best outcomes, for each patient.
We know that the same configuration of care will only permit the same functions to be provided.
The pandemic contingency catalyzed care structural change and allowed healthcare to perform different functions.
It is at this point that managers need lead health systems to change configuration and perform complex functions, like people centered.
