%X This paper proposes an integrated model of  social-health resources management. The authors present the actual 
challenges for health care, in an environment characterized by longer life expectancy and an increase in the number of  patients 
with chronic pathologies, in a scenario of  both, economic and financial crises. Their presentation includes management and fi
-
nancial issues, and the technological trends –such as the development of  personalized and regenerative medicine– which will lead 
to an increase in health spending. The task of  facing these challenges, they explain, cannot be postponed, the goals should be to 
improve: the efficiency in the use of  health resources, the quality of  health care and the level of  patient satisfaction. Finally, they 
present some concepts about the application of  information and communications technologies in health, show its relationship with 
the chronic patient care and present both, the current management models for this type of  patient and the new proposed model.
