Diseño e implementación de una unidad de medicina materno fetal

Abstract

One of the great challenges of the present obstetrics, is turn from a traditional maternity hospital to a maternity designed and implemented as a clinical management unit. While determining the risk of obstetric patients is maintained over time, adapting to new knowledge and intervention capacity, the structure and operation of maternity wards is changing, developing maternal-fetal medicine and fetal medicine, to address obstetrical and maternal-fetal pathologies or fetal pathologies or primary fetal placental pathologies or medical conditions that may complicate gestation and the fetus in a indirect way. Hence the importance of using a methodology to transform our maternity in management clinical units that can respond effectively, efficiently and effectively to the current problems in the obstetrical field. In applied clinical management, different models have been used to perform this transformation. One of them, the AMPHOS model, it seemed suitable for design and implementation on maternal fetal medicine units. The AMPHOS model has 7 modules, the first 2 spring the direction of the establishments, especially improving their processes. The following modules refer to the development of maternal fetal medicine units, while module 7 and final, represents the binding of the institution with their respective medical maternal-fetal unit, that through management by objectives and management firm commitments, could operationalize the agreements to achieve its development.
