Abstract

The processes of State Reform faced in Argentina during the last decades have tended toward the most widespread principles about modern public management techniques. This work exposes one of the main results presented in the Thesis on the Reforms in the management models of High Complexity Hospitals in the Province of Misiones and its impact on hospital and administrative efficiency indicators, defended by the author in the School of Economic Sciences of the UNaM. A qualitative approach with descriptive scope is used, where different techniques are used for data collection: unstructured observation, open interviews, review of documents and legal regulations, in order to finalize and compare the management model of the Hospitals of High Complexity of the Province of Misiones. In the case of hospitals that depend on the Ministry of Health of the province, they identify characteristics of a management model that is closer to the Bureaucratic or Weberian; and, in the case of the Hospital Escuela de Agudos, dependent on the Health Park, the development of different tools and characteristics of the New Public Management.
