Management model of care: the innovation of nursing to ensure the wellbeing of patients at the General Hospital “Dr. Manuel Gea González” on the Mexico city

Abstract

Nursing healthcare management implies using professional judgement regarding the issues of plan­ning, organization, integration, direction, and control, in order to provide timely, safe, and integral healthcare and achieve and sustain the wellbeing of persons. This human process implies the con­tinuous interaction between healthcare professionals and persons, sick or healthy. To provide this care, nursing professionals manage interdisciplinary interactions with other healthcare professionals in a process which often involves human, physical, material, and financial resources. To address these complex issues, the new Nursing Sub-Direction Management 2017-2022 has designed a Nur­sing Healthcare Management Model which highlights administration innovations which allow the graphical representation of the situations acknowledging the important tasks which the nursing personnel carry out at “Dr. Manuel Gea González” General Hospital to guarantee a healthcare of quality. This Management Model has its theoretical and methodological foundations on four di­mensions: Administration of Health Services; Health; Care; and Persons. Under this model, nursing personnel can develop their main functions of teaching, management, and research, and enhance the interaction and coordination with healthcare interprofessional teams.
