    Escenarios posibles para el Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS)
    (Centro de Estudios en Protección Social y Economia de la Salud - PROESA, 2014-12-01) Guerrero Carvajal, Ramiro; Prada Ríos, Sergio Iván
    This document presents three alternative health systems models (totally public, totally privatized, or combined). These are presented as scenarios toward which the Colombian health system could evolve in the future. The presentation of these different perspectives aims to inform the public debate about the difficulties present in the current healthcare system and what direction could its design take in the future. Among the elements of each scenario, we mention the funding mechanisms, service delivery models, monitoring, regulation, and the benefits that covered by the system, among others.

    Estadísticas del sistema de salud : Colombia frente a OCDE.
    (Centro de Estudios en Protección Social y Economia de la Salud - PROESA, 2016-09-01) Prada Ríos, Sergio Iván; Salinas, Manuel A.
    This paper presents comparative statistics on the performance of health systems between Colombia and countries members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The data used is from OECD Health Statistics 2016, a publication that summarizes data for the 35 member countries, those countries in the process of adhesion – Colombia, Latvia, Costa Rica, Lithuania and the Russian Federation, and key partners - Brazil, People´s Republic of China, India, Indonesia and South Africa. We found that in all indicators where data for Colombia is available the country is at least one standard deviation behind the OECD average, but Government and compulsory health insurance schemes (% of current expenditure on health) which is above average.

    Marcos conceptuales de rendición de cuentas en el sector salud
    (Centro de Estudios en Protección Social y Economia de la Salud - PROESA, 2016-09-01) Prada Ríos, Sergio Iván
    This paper summarizes the main accountability frameworks as applied directly or indirectly to the healthcare sector. It starts with three general frameworks used in the public administration theory, then describes frameworks applied to the provision of public services, and ends with frameworks applied to the medical profession. Specifically ir reviews frameworks for the individual, the hospital, and the provision of primary care and community care. It concludes that the main challenges to design the right accountability framework for healthcare for any given society are: information asymmetry, competing incentives between public and private providers, and lack of institutional capacity of providers and regulators. It is also found that the professional accountability framework is the best alternative, provided that the context is right for its full implementation.

    Medición de gasto de bolsillo en salud usando la Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida de Colombia
    (Centro de Estudios en Protección Social y Economia de la Salud - PROESA, 2016-03-01) Guerrero Carvajal, Ramiro
    In this paper three different methodologies for calculating out-of-pocket health expenditure are suggested based on the items included in the Living Standard Measurement Study. The results show that out-of-pocket health expenditure decreases in the 2008-2014 period regardless of the approach used, suggesting a continuous improvement on the financial protection goal of the Colombian health system.

    ¿Y usted, cómo lo haría? El Programa de Tuberculosis de Médicos Sin Fronteras en Buenaventuras
    (Centro de Estudios en Protección Social y Economia de la Salud - PROESA, 2016-01-01) González, Jorge A.
    There are several NGOs around the world whose main purpose is the private provision of public programs. Their actions are aimed to provide services to vulnerable populations where the government has constitutional responsibility to provide but fails to do so. This document describes this kind of intervention; a program for the drug resistant tuberculosis population in the municipality of Buenaventura, located in the Colombian state Valle del Cauca. The document answers retrospectively to the question: In a context without budget constraints, with people in high economic vulnerability, and amid serious problems of violence, how would you design, operate, and how much would cost a TB program for a multidrug resistant population?

    Young Latino Children Obesity: The Importance of Socioeconomic Status, Home Language, TV watching, and Physical Activity
    (Centro de Estudios en Protección Social y Economia de la Salud - PROESA, 2017-01-01) Galindo, Claudia L.
    The incidence of young Latino children obesity is a public health concern. Among 5-year-olds, 16% of Latinos are obese compared with 10% of whites. Obesity disparities between non-Latino white and Latino children increase significantly with age. The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of socioeconomic status (SES), home language, physical activity, and TV watching for explaining obesity disparities between 5-year-old white and Latino children. Also, the long-lasting influence of these four variables is studied by analyzing their impact on obesity as children grew to ages 6, 8, and 10. We used a nationally representative sample drawn from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study- Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K) collected in 1998-99.
