El documento presenta una evaluación de la metodología desarrollada para apoyar a los prestadores de servicios de salud en el uso de una herramienta web. Esta herramienta permite analizar la capacidad instalada y suficiencia para la implementación de las Rutas Integrales de Atención en Salud (RIAS), específicamente las rutas de Promoción y Mantenimiento de la Salud (RPMS) y Materno-Perinatal (RIAMP). La metodología fue validada en cinco territorios priorizados: Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Cúcuta, Riohacha y Santa Marta. Los resultados mostraron una alta aprobación de los materiales y sesiones de asistencia técnica, con un 92,9% de los participantes calificando positivamente. Se destacaron recomendaciones para mejorar el proceso, como asegurar la disponibilidad de tiempo para los participantes y garantizar el acceso a la herramienta durante las sesiones. La metodología validada será utilizada por el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social para apoyar a los prestadores en la implementación de las RIAS
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.
Este anexo presenta las dimensiones de las prestaciones de salud en detalle, incluyendo las recomendaciones, las fuentes de trabajo, actividades, líneas de tiempo, y las organizaciones responsables.
El Programa Comunidades Saludables colaboró con el Gobierno Colombiano para identificar oportunidades de optimización en el Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS). Utilizaron la Guía de Eficiencia Técnica de USAID (GET) adaptada al contexto colombiano.

With increased migration around the world posing unique challenges and opportunities for health systems, efforts to better integrate and include migrants and host communities in national health systems are an integral part of the global health equity agenda.
The report outlines the main strategies recommended to address technical inefficiencies and improve the health system's capacity to integrate the Venezuelan migrant population in Colombia.
El informe detalla los esfuerzos de LHSS desde 2020 hasta 2023 en colaboración con el Gobierno de Colombia para mejorar la prestación de servicios de salud a las poblaciones migrantes, con un enfoque en la sostenibilidad financiera. Al implementar la Guía de Eficiencia Técnica de Sistemas de Salud (GET) de USAID, el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social, el Departamento Nacional de Planeación y LHSS, se buscó mejorar la eficiencia en la asignación de recursos dentro del sector salud. La GET, que incluye cuatro grupos analíticos tradicionales—prestación de servicios, fuerza laboral en salud, productos farmacéuticos y financiamiento y gobernanza—se amplió para incluir un quinto grupo, Sistemas de Información, para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de Colombia. LHSS adaptó la guía mediante análisis de expertos y discusiones participativas con actores clave para identificar ineficiencias y proponer recomendaciones prácticas. El informe detalla las principales estrategias recomendadas para abordar estas ineficiencias y mejorar la capacidad del sistema de salud para integrar a la población migrante venezolana.

This annex presents the implementation plan for the FINFI model, which was established based on the PDCA cycle. The PDCA cycle serves as a framework for addressing and solving problems. The plan creates a roadmap that will guide the country and the MSPS in the implementation of the FINFI model. The plan also contains key elements for the implementation of the model and is organized by management level, defining key actors and objectives for each level.
This document proposes a Financial and Non-Financial Incentives (FINFI) model to improve the quality of life and performance of Colombian human resources for health (HRH). It outlines the problems identified within the Colombian health system that precipitated the development of the FINFI model, and provides a description and analysis of the proposed FINFI model and recommendations to assist in the implementation of the model.
This Spanish document summarizes the Financial and Non-Financial Incentives model, including the methodology of the model and recommendations for its implementation.

This Spanish document presents a model for strengthening the relationship of the actors involved in the implementation of two Comprehensive Health Care Routes (RIAS): the Comprehensive Care Route for the Promotion and Maintenance of Health (RPMS) and the Comprehensive Maternal and Perinatal Health Care Route (RIAMP). The model aims to ensure the successful implementation of the RIAS, which will strengthen the Colombian health system to provide comprehensive health care for Venezuelan migrants and host communities.
