Influence of leadership style on knowledge management and hospital efficiency
CONCLUSIONS: Experts suggest that hospitals with authoritarian leadership styles would exhibit lower levels of knowledge creation and management, as well as lower hospital efficiency. On the other hand, they associate hospitals managed with a paternalistic leadership style with better values in both knowledge creation and exploitation, as well as hospital efficiency, compared to the authoritarian leadership style. Finally, they attribute the highest levels in aspects related to knowledge management and hospital efficiency to the transformational leadership style.PMID:37992459 | DOI:10.1016/j.gaceta.2023.102342 (Source: Gaceta Sanitaria)

Morbidity due to chronic diseases and their health care in Asturias: a gender analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Gender analysis can also be applied to secondary sources of the National Health System. Despite the greater magnitude and complexity of chronic diseases in women, there is a higher frequency of hospital admissions in men compared to women with the same diseases. This implies an unequal care profile in the field of hospital admissions that the scientific literature associates with gender biases in health care.PMID:37988970 | DOI:10.1016/j.gaceta.2023.102334 (Source: Gaceta Sanitaria)

Analysis of the internal coherence of the Mental Health and Addictions Program of Mexico 2020-2024
CONCLUSIONS: PAE-SM20-24 lacks internal coherence, which means that there is only a medium connection between its objectives, strategies, and specific actions. This jeopardizes its implementation and, therefore, its potential to contribute to the improvement of public policy related to mental health and addictions in the country.PMID:37913590 | DOI:10.1016/j.gaceta.2023.102327 (Source: Gaceta Sanitaria)
