RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

medir el desempeño de las Funciones Esenciales en Salud Pública (FESP) en tres municipios que corresponden a la zona Penderisco del suroeste antioqueño (Concordia, Betulia y Salgar) en 2011.

METODOLOGIA:

se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal en los tres municipios. Se adaptó el instrumento de medición de las FESP en el ámbito nacional, elaborado por la OPS para aplicarlo localmente, se ajustó a las competencias y campos de acción de las autoridades municipales, se suprimieron preguntas no pertinentes para el nivel y se recalcularon las fórmulas que generaban el puntaje y los indicadores. El instrumento se aplicó a un grupo de expertos en cada municipio.

RESULTADOS:

en la zona Penderisco, se encontraron tres funciones FESP1, FESP2 y FESP4 con desempeño óptimo. Las FESP3, FESP5, FESP6, FESP7, FESP8, FESP9 y FESP11 con desempeño medio superior y la FESP10 un desempeño mínimo. Dos indicadores de desarrollo de capacidades e infraestructura para la salud pública, fueron clasificados como debilidades, coincidente en los tres municipios conocimientos, habilidades y mecanismos para revisar, perfeccionar y hacer cumplir el marco regulatorio y el desarrollo de la capacidad institucional de investigación.

CONCLUSIONES:

a pesar de los esfuerzos realizados por los países para mejorar el desempeño de las FESP, el desarrollo es incipiente con algunas excepciones, este mismo esquema se refleja en los municipios estudiados. Pocas funciones están clasificadas en desempeño óptimo y como fortalezas. El desarrollo de capacidades e infraestructura para soportar el desarrollo de las FESP es débil.
ABSTRACT
OBJETIVE to measure the performance of the Essential Public Health Functions (EPHF) in three municipalities from the Penderisco area of Southwestern Antioquia (a zone encompassing three municipalities Betulia, Concordia, and Salgar) in 2011.

METHODOLOGY:

we conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study in three municipalities. To this end, we adapted the instrument for measuring EPHF for use in Colombia. The instrument was developed by the paho, and we implemented its adapted version locally. The instrument was adjusted to the skills and fields of action of the municipal authorities, the questions that were not relevant for the local context were removed, and the formulas for generating scores and indicators were re-calculated. The instrument was applied to a group of experts in each municipality.

RESULTS:

in the Penderisco zone, three functions had optimal performance EPHF1, EPHF4, EPHF2. Additionally, the functions labeled EPHF3, EPHF5, EPHF6, EPHF7, EPHF8, EPHF9, and EPHF11 had above average performance. EPHF10, in turn, showed minimum performance. Two indicators of development of capacity and infrastructure for public health were classified as weaknesses, namely knowledge, skills, and mechanisms to review, refine and enforce the regulatory framework and development of institutional research capacity. This is consistent in the three municipalities.

CONCLUSIONS:

In spite of the efforts made by countries to improve the performance of the essential public health functions, development is still budding; the same scenario is seen in the studied municipalities. Few functions had optimal performance and were considered strengths and capacity development and the infrastructure for supporting the development of essential public health functions are weak.
