Validation of tech summary Colombia

The Comprehensive Healthcare Pathways (RIAS) are policy instruments used to deliver primary health care services in Colombia, with a focus on two priority pathways - Health Promotion and Prevention (RPMS) and Maternal-Perinatal Health Care (RIAMP). To support implementation, the Local Health System Sustainability (LHSS) project developed a web tool for analyzing primary care providers' capacity to deliver these pathways. LHSS then created and validated a methodology for the Ministry of Health to provide technical assistance to providers on using this tool. The validation was conducted in three phases across five territories, involving developing materials, testing with provider teams, and incorporating feedback. Results showed high approval ratings for the technical assistance sessions, with over 90% of participants agreeing or strongly agreeing with positive statements about the methodology. Some recommendations were made to improve the process, such as ensuring participant availability and tailoring content to different provider types.
