Health management in companies is facing resistance factors to proposed improvements and is characterized as a problem,
as something having defects. New ways of approaching these defects may be useful as tools for strategic thinking.
This paper is based on the deductive assumption that “cause precedes consequence” developing a simple graphical structure
that draws the flow of formation / concentration and dissolution / deconcentration of sick people in a company. This
graphical approach allows new perspectives on this dynamic and facilitates the identification of some existing defects.
The graphical structure identifies seven turning points, which are presented as opportunities for intervention to reverse the
defects identified in the strategic analysis.
