Modelo de supervisión basado en el riesgo para instituciones prestadoras de servicios de salud como herramienta para la protección de los derechos en salud en Perú / A risk-based monitoring model for health care service institutions as a tool to protect health rights in Peru

RESUMEN Objetivos. Describir el modelo de supervisión de las Instituciones Prestadoras de Servicios de Salud (IPRESS) de la Superintendencia Nacional de Salud (SUSALUD) y evaluar los factores asociados al porcentaje de cumplimiento normativo ajustado a riesgo (%CNAR) en las IPRESS del Sistema de Salud Peruano (SSP). Materiales y Métodos. Se realizó un estudio de caso sobre el desarrollo e implementación de un modelo de supervisión ajustado a riesgo basado en la norma ISO 31000-2009. Con la IPRESS como unidad de análisis, se calcularon los %CNAR (un puntaje continuo entre 0 a 100) de las supervisiones integrales (SI) y supervisiones selectivas efectuadas durante los años 2013 al 2015. Un mayor %CNAR implica un menor riesgo operacional. Se estimaron coeficientes β con IC95% mediante modelos lineales generalizados para valorar la asociación entre el %CNAR (variable de respuesta) y el subsector, la región, el nivel de complejidad y el año de supervisión (variables de exposición). Resultados. Se ejecutaron 1444 supervisiones. En las SI, solo la Seguridad Social en Salud (ESSALUD) tuvo mayor %CNAR que los centros privados [(β=7,7%;IC95%(3,5 a 11,9)]. Las IPRESS de la Costa [β=-5,2;IC95%(-9,4 a -1,0)], Sierra [β=-12,5;IC95%(-16,7 a -8,3)] y Selva [β=-12,6;IC95%(-17,7 a -7,6)] tuvieron menor %CNAR que aquellas ubicadas en Lima Metropolitana. El %CNAR fue superior en el año 2015 [β=10,8IC95%(6,4 a 15,3)] en relación al año 2013. Conclusiones. El %CNAR difiere por subsector, región y año de supervisión. En las SI las IPRESS supervisadas en ESSALUD, Lima Metropolitana y el año 2015, tuvieron mejores puntuaciones. Se sugiere la puesta en marcha de acciones orientadas a mejorar el %CNAR con el propósito de favorecer el ejercicio de los derechos en salud en el SSP.

ABSTRACT Objectives. To describe the monitoring model of the Health Care Service Institutions (HCSI) of the National Health Authority (NHA) and assess the factors associated with risk-adjusted normative compliance (%RANC) within the Peruvian Health System (PHS). Materials and Methods. We carried out a case study of the experience of the NHA in the development and implementation of a monitoring program based on the ISO 31000-2009. With HCSI as the units of analysis, we calculated the %RANC (a scorein continuous scale ranging from 0 to 100) for comprehensive monitoring (CM) and for specific evaluations made from 2013 to 2015. A higher score in the %RANC means lower operational risk. Also, slope coefficients (β) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated using generalized linear models to estimate the association between %RANC as outcome, and health subsector, region, level of care and year, as explanatory variables. Results. The NHA made 1444 evaluations. For CM, only the Social Security Administration had higher %RANC than private centers (β=7.7%; 95% CI 3.5 to 11.9). The HCSI of the coastal region (β=-5.2, 95% CI -9.4 to -1.0), andean region (β=-12.5; 95% CI -16.7 to -8.3) and jungle region (β=-12.6, 95% CI% -17.7 to -7.6) had lower %RANC than those located in Lima Metropolitan area. %RANC was higher in 2015 than 2013 (β=10.8; 95% CI 6.4 to 15.3). Conclusions. The %RANC differs by health subsector, region and year of supervision. For CM, the HCSI in the Social Security Administration and in the Lima Metropolitan area had better scores, and scores improved over time. The implementation of actions aimed at improving %RANC in order to foster the full exercise of health rights in the PHS is suggested.

Age-specific incidence of cancer in Kingston and St Andrew, Jamaica, 1988-1992

During the period 1988 - 1992, a total of 4,030 malignant neoplasms were recorded in Kingston and St. Andrew, Jamaica. These comprised 1,829 males and 2,201 in females. Histological confirmation was obtained in 83.4 percent. The crude incidence rate for males was 128.5, and 136.2 for females. The age-standardized rates (ASR) were 179.9 for males and 166.1 for females. Age-specifics rates by site, sex and age are tabulated. Attention is drawn to increased incidence for cancers of prostate, larynx, bronchus and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in males. There was also an increase in female breast cancer (crude rate 36.0; ASR 47.1). Invasive cervix cancer has shown no significant change in incidence. Neoplasms of the body of the uterus have increased (crude rate 7.6; ASR 9.5). The rise in cancer of breast and body of uterus suggests that the influence of exogenous oestrogens should be considered
