Resumen

Objetive: This paper aims to assist with the challenge of aligning Colombian national surveys with international best practices.

Method: The study reviews whether the three major Colombian surveys meet the eight World Health ·Organization responsiveness criteria. The responsiveness framework is an internationally acknowledged standard that meets the challenge of evaluating patient satisfaction.

Results: Colombian surveys are concerned on evaluating patients’ perception of quality. There are only few questions that have an equivalent assessment to the eight dimensions suggested by the World Health Organization.

Conclussion: By this framework, the three major Colombian surveys, which deal with health and medical care, do not gage adequately patient satisfaction. This article suggests how to ameliorate the situation by taking advantage of Colombia’s celebrated household survey infrastructure as well as its administrative requirements to gage patient satisfaction.
