What is Clinic Management?

The clinical management is a type of health care service management that probably will develop in the next future. It is a powerful tool that can offer a better health assistance (in its technical, economic and patient's satisfaction components). The health manpower formation in the basic theory of clinical management is necessary today. But it is also important to establish a correct information health system previously to start any clinical management pathway. These information systems are now developed to the quantification of hospital activity, and not to clinical department level (micro-management). It is also necessary to collect indicators of clinical departments. These indicators would be relevant and we could compare them between different hospitals. The development of standarized process activity, and relevant process indicator is probably a responsibility of scientific societies in the future.
