The Colombian public policy ‘Comprehensive Health Care 2016’ sets an all-encompassing network scheme for health service suppliers (RIPSS, by its Spanish acronym), which provides a better dynamics between projected demands and resources, qualified personnel, and networked infrastructure. The analysis of this new health service provision scheme is based on a combined methodological approach with a network analysis application. This work addresses specifically the case of the West health service network in Santiago de Cali, as there have been advancements and contributions to implement the concept of integrated health service networks (RISS) and comprehensive logistics. The research results indicate theoretically, analytically and methodologically that the interdependence, interrelation, and coordination between the actors in a comprehensive network of health service suppliers (RIPSS) can be simulated structurally and positionally.

Keywords : health planning and administration; health public policies; comprehensive health care; health management; primary health care; network analysis.
