Hospital concessions, as experience in public health in Chile. case: “Hospital El Carmen Dr. Luis Valentín Ferrada”
Abstract
This study is focused on the Chilean experience with hospitals that are operated by concessionnaires. The efforts are centered on the case of Hospital El Carmen de Maipú, specifically its operational stage, and suggest the importance of generating strategies that omprove the managment of public-private associations, as an instrument that is necessary to improve the quality of public policies in Chile. Verifying that the existing managment problems are rooted mainly in the manner of coordinating the contract between the concessionaires and the coordination systems of the State institutions to supervise and manage the correct functioning of the hospital and the system in general.Keywords:
