“…The study is theoretically and methodologically based on the following benchmarks of health management: (i) approaches from the perspective of quality assessment in health and geared toward the improvement of quality, such as accreditation, contractualization and the clinic management/Clinical Governance and patient safety 3,4,11 ; (ii) approaches that highlight the micropolitical and intersubjective dimension of the organization and management of the health work process and the care production, being recognized the central role of the subjects in the health care production 9,10,[12][13][14][15][16] . The first group of approaches which in another study we analyzed and named "approaches toward the rationalization of medical-hospital practices and continuous quality improvement" 9 and which here, more briefly, we are going to call it "approaches rationalizers" pursuit the quality through rationalization processes of medical-hospital practices, and it is guided by the creation of more powerful mechanisms of control of the work processes in the hospital, particularly those relating to access and use of its assistance strategic resources, the outsourcing of activities and the strong emphasis on protocolization of processes.…”
