Valoración de experiencias y necesidades en la implementación de la prueba piloto de despliegue de los equipos territoriales: modelo de salud basado en atención primaria en Bogotá (Colombia), 2021

The current administration of Bogotá (Colombia) seeks to adjust the city's health model, base it on primary care and offer quality health care. Hence, the District Health Secretariat has carried out, for three months, a pilot test of interdisciplinary territorial teams that provide resolute home care in the most vulnerable areas of the city to adjust before its deployment throughout the city. The objective of the accompaniment was, among others, to investigate the experiences and perspectives of the actors involved in the planning and execution of this pilot in order to recognize learning and generate recommendations for adjusting the operation of the equipment. Through a mixed analysis, the information collected through focus groups and in-depth interviews with the participants of the exercise was analysed, who highlighted the importance of the phases prior to implementation, covering an adequate induction and training of professionals in the field; prior dissemination of the intervention; community involvement during the planning, implementation and monitoring process; the prior assurance of the inputs and knowledge required for care, and the adaptation of the proposed strategies to the territorial context. It is important to point out that this type of health program must have an iterative development process, which requires constant evaluation in the different stages of planning and implementation that lead to improvements in the processes.
