Este artículo tiene por objeto evidenciar la capacidad de respuesta de los sistemas de información en salud (SIS) en Colombia para soportar un modelo de inspección, vigilancia y control (IVC) orientado al seguimiento de los riesgos que menoscaban el acceso, el uso y la calidad de los servicios de salud. Se realizó un estudio transversal, descriptivo, desde el enfoque de gestión de riesgos, que incluyó una revisión del marco regulatorio de las amenazas para el goce efectivo del derecho (GED) a la salud y las características de la información reportada por los actores del sistema, requeridas para su seguimiento. Los datos que soportan el seguimiento a los procesos de atención y su impacto sobre la salud poblacional resultan insuficientes para hacer una adecuada supervisión de los riesgos. Se deben aprovechar los cambios que experimenta actualmente el sistema de salud para replantear la forma en que su desempeño es objeto de seguimiento.
is article aims to disclose the response capacity of the Health Information Systems (HIS) in Colombia to support an inspection, s urveillance and control model (ISC) driven towards the monitoring of the risks undermining the access, use and quality of the health services. is paper is based on a descriptive cross-sectional study under a risk management approach including a review of t he regulations framework dealing with the threats to the effective enjoyment of the right to health (EERH) and the characteristics of the information reported by the actors in the system, which is required to carry out the said monitoring. e data supporting the monitoring to the health care processes and its impact on the population health are not enough to appropriately oversee the risks involved. Advantage should be taken from the changes currently taking place in the health system in order to rethink how the system performance is taken as monitored object.
