SEGNINI, Franco Jesús; DOMINGUEZ-TORRES, Luis Carlos y VEGA, Neil Valentín. Cancellation of elective surgical procedures: A research agenda in Colombia. Iatreia [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.2, pp.175-182. Epub 07-Feb-2023. ISSN 0121-0793. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.iatreia.135..
Cancellation of scheduled surgeries is a latent problem in colombia, which encompasses negative consequences for the patient (physically and psychologically), the health care personnel (well-being, satisfaction, performance) and the institution (cost-effectiveness). The rate of cancellation varies between 2,7 - 7,6 %. Most cancellations are preventable and occur due to administrative or programming issues. In this document, we performed a review on the gaps of knowledge on this problem in colombia, and we highlighted some points for the research agenda.
