[Health and theories and techniques of management of organizations]

The expansions of large industrial and utility companies gave rise to important problems in organization, which have been solved progressively throughout the 20th century. Based on experience and the theoretical guidelines proposed, a compiled doctrine for approaching these problems, referred to as Organization Management theories and techniques, has been developed. Over the past decade, Health Care Systems have felt the impact of changes which have led to their organizational patterns being altered. Their similarity to what are referred to as complex organizations makes it possible to consider employing the techniques used in these organizations for proposing a new pattern which takes the special circumstances of Health Care Systems into account.
