| Abstract (English): |
Family and Community Hospitals (FCH) are essentially Primary Care Establishments that, nevertheless, provide services throughout the entire hospital cycle. FCHs emerged under the umbrella of the National Health System in the mid-20th century and became the main institution for addressing health problems demanded in the rural municipalities where they are located. Health management, the relationship with their environment, and with the community are the themes presented in this article, which aims to share an experience that opens spaces for reflection and discussion about healthcare practices. These practices should not only consider the highly demanded box-based medical attention, but also the ongoing analysis of needs and available resources in order to deliver responses that are equitable and relevant, even when resources are scarce--an issue that requires ingenuity and the creation of ways to move forward and find solutions. In this context, the formation of teams and process-oriented work is fundamental to organizing the supply and adapting it to demand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Los Hospitales familiares y comunitarios (HFC) son en esencia Establecimientos de Atención Primaria que, no obstante, disponen de servicios para todo el ciclo hospitalario. Los HFC nacen al alero del Sistema Nacional de Salud a mediados del siglo XX y se constituyen como la principal instancia para resolver los problemas de salud que se demandan en las comunas rurales donde se ubican. La gestión en salud, la relación con su entorno y con la comunidad es la temática que se expone en este artículo que pretende mostrar una experiencia para abrir espacios de reflexión y discusión sobre el hacer en salud, que no sólo debe considerar la acción de atención en box, altamente demandada por la población, sino además, el permanente análisis de las necesidades y recursos disponibles para entregar una respuesta de manera equitativa y pertinente aun cuando los recursos sean escasos, asunto que obliga al ingenio a idear maneras de avanzar y resolver. En este contexto la conformación de equipos y el trabajo en lógica de procesos es fundamental para organizar la oferta y adecuarla a la demanda. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
