RINCON-RODRIGUEZ, Carlos Javier; RODRIGUEZ-VARGAS, Olga Eugenia  and  GALERA-GELVEZ, Katia Cecilia. Description of Information Management in Early Childhood in Sixteen Colombian Municipalities. Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.27, pp.296-318. ISSN 1657-7027.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.rgyps13-27.dmip.

The objectives of this work were to identify the most important topics, the main information needs and the aspects or suggestions for the construction of an information system regarding health care of child population in the municipalities. We carried out seven workshops in seven municipalities, with the participation of 71 representatives from 19 entities related to the health care of child population. We found that the lack of coordination, unification and consolidation of information causes decision taking to be performed based on outdated, incomplete or non-existent results. So, territories need a space to show the complete picture of the child population, to coordinate the different institutions and periodically consolidate topics of interest.

Keywords : health information systems; child development; child care; decision taking; information management; health information management.
