Abstract

Introduction: In Mexico, the dichotomy between physicians who care for the sick and physicians who do management has a common history: the latter are physicians with prestige, who leave their clinical work and switch to the administration of health services, generally with minimal scientific basis in administration, but with great enthusiasm. Objective: To determine the relationship between medical indicators and managerial competencies of managers of the Hospital General Regional 1 Charo. Methodology: Cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational, non-experimental, quantitative, cross-sectional design. A sample of 15 managers, selected by simple random sampling, was calculated; a questionnaire on managerial competencies (cognitive dimension, skills/skills and attitudes) was applied, evaluating the consistency and reliability by experts and Cronbach's alpha and correlating with the results of indicators. Results: There is positive and significant correlation between managerial competencies and results of medical indicators with Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient of 0.629 (p<0.012); there is significant correlation between skills/skills dimension and indicators, with Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient of 0. 597 (p<0.019). Conclusions: Managerial competencies and medical indicator scores, are closely related to each other, which means that as managerial competencies increase, medical indicator scores will increase.
