| Summary: | This report presents findings from an
assessment of quality of care in the health sector in
Colombia, using a novel methodology developed by the World
Bank Group to assess government oversight, promotion and
stewardship of quality of care in the health sector. This
assessment of quality of care in the health sector in
Colombia examines how well governments strategize, plan and
measure quality; set standards of care; build capacity for
quality improvement in the sector; ensure adequate resources
are available and well distributed to support quality
results; hold organizations accountable for quality results;
apply quality policies consistently; and achieve superior
quality of care results. This methodology evaluates these
eight domains using 49 criteria based on 171 standards. The
assessment is based on quantitative analytics, key informant
interviews, over 30 visits of public and private healthcare
facilities, a review of key policy documents and a survey of
a sample of health insurance companies. The assessment is a
joint initiative from the World Bank and the International
Finance Corporation (IFC) and was undertaken for the first
time in Colombia. It took place from January to June 2019. |
