Abstract
Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la disponibilidad de indicadores en salud que permitan medir con validez los avances en la consecución de la “Salud Universal” en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de evidencia científica y documentos técnicocientíficos disponibles sobre la evaluación del desempeño de los sistemas de salud y del avance en Salud Universal en las siguientes fases: fase 1 de mapeo de indicadores, fase 2 de clasificación de indicadores, y fase 3 de mapeo de la disponibilidad de indicadores seleccionados en ALC. Resultados: Se localizaron 63 fuentes de información a nivel nacional y 8 a nivel internacional. De las diferentes fuentes de bases de datos y estudios evaluados, se seleccionaron 749 indicadores, 619 de los cuales estaban relacionados con las dimensiones de la Salud Universal y 130, con la carga de enfermedad. Se identificaron 42 (6%) indicadores de protección financiera, 415 (55,4%) de cobertura de prestación de servicios, 6 (0,8%) de cobertura poblacional, 101 (14%) de determinantes de la salud, 55 (7,3%) para la evaluación de las inequidades en salud, y 130 (17,3%) para estimar la carga de enfermedad. Finalmente, se mapeó la disponibilidad de 141 indicadores en cada país de ALC. Conclusiones: Los resultados de este estudio contribuyen a avanzar en el establecimiento de un marco que permitirá medir los logros, los obstáculos y la velocidad de los avances hacia la Salud Universal en ALC.
 
Objective. The objective of this study was to identify the availability of health indicators for validly measuring advances in the attainment of “universal health” in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Methods. A systematic search was undertaken for scientific evidence and available technical and scientific documents on assessing health system performance and advances in universal health in the following phases: phase 1, mapping of indicators; phase 2, classification of indicators; and phase 3, mapping the availability of selected indicators in LAC. Results. Sixty-three (63) national sources of information and eight international sources were identified. A total of 749 indicators were selected from the different databases and studies evaluated, 619 of which were related to the attainment of universal health and 130 to the burden of disease. The following indicators were identified: financial protection, 42 (6%); coverage of service delivery, 415 (55.4%); population coverage, 6 (0.8%); health determinants, 101 (14%); assessment of inequalities in health, 55 (7.3%); and estimation of burden of disease, 130 (17.3%). Finally, the availability of 141 indicators was mapped for each LAC country. Conclusions. The results of this study will help establish a framework for measuring the achievements, obstacles, and rate of progress toward universal health in LAC.
