The development of health systems has emphasized the need for more humanized, equitable, and patient-centered approaches. In this context, nurses play a key role in transforming healthcare, thanks to their proximity to patients, their integrated training, and their active participation at all levels of care. This article analyzes the primary role of nurses in health systems management and their contribution to decision-making, quality improvement, care coordination, and the people-centered approach available in the systematic review. The results showed that nursing stands out for its holistic approach and adaptability in equidistant, person-centered care. It concludes with suggestions on how to strengthen their status as agents of change. The objective is to determine the role of nurses in health systems management, as a contribution to a patient-centered care model with health personnel, and to propose strategies to improve their management.
