Introduction:
There are several approaches and schools that support strategic management processes. University hospitals require the implementation of a strategic approach to their management, since they are a particular type of organization with the triple mission of providing health care, education and research.
Objective:
To propose a strategic profile for a university hospital.
Materials and methods:
The theoretical framework of strategic management was analyzed and some particular components of hospital management were studied; based on these criteria, the strategic management process in three high complexity hospitals of Bogotá, D.C. was examined and a profile of both the objectives and the functional strategies for the hospital was proposed.
Results:
The main strategic thinking schools are presented; the processes and components of strategic management are described, and a strategic management profile for a university hospital is proposed.
Conclusion:
The strategic orientation of management for an institution with the characteristics of a university hospital facilitates achieving organizational objectives.
