El siglo XXI entrana diversos retos para la humanidad, enfrentar la transicion epidemiologica, los problemas emergentes, un nivel mayor de educacion y expectativas sociales cada vez mas demandantes. Los sistemas de salud han trabajado por decadas en la masificacion de la medicina, esquemas donde la productividad era el eje fundamental con metas cada dia mas elevadas. Sin embargo hoy, los gerentes sanitarios en todo el mundo reconocen que dicho enfoque es insuficiente, es decir hoy no unicamente se enfrenta el reto de la "cobertura universal," sino ademas ahora con los mas altos niveles de calidad y seguridad para los pacientes.
