Resumen
VELASQUEZ-OSORIO, Natalia; NARANJO-LUJAN, Salome y GONZALEZ-ECHEVERRI, Germán. Prehospital care indicators for road incidents in Colombia. Rev. Fac. Nac. Salud Pública [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.3, pp.410-419. ISSN 0120-386X. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rfnsp.v35n3a11.
Prehospital care (PHC) reduces lethality and minimizes morbidity and its effects in urgency and emergency situations. Assessing its degree of development is thus relevant.
Methodology:
the authors used a systematic review of the literature, inquiries to experts and a pilot test with a system of PHC indicators for road incidents in Colombia which was implemented in 6 cities, one department and one highway concession.
Results:
according to political, regulatory, conceptual, methodological, international and national guidelines, a system of indicators was proposed to be applied in accordance with the territorial development of PHC. However, there were a number of difficulties to implement it.
Conclusion:
it is necessary to strengthen PHC and standardize an information system for monitoring it in Colombia.
Palabras clave : indicators; prehospital care; road incidents.
