Abstract

Background: Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) and brucellosis are associated with devastating losses in the livestock sector in Colombia and even in developed countries. Real-time disease surveillance is a key strategy to control and eradicate infectious disease outbreaks. Objective: To design an epidemiological tool for monitoring BTB and brucellosis in Colombia. Methods: An interactive platform for disease mapping of BTB and brucellosis during an observation period between years 2004 and 2019 was designed. Results: Our analysis showed that the provinces of Cundinamarca and Valle del Cauca are regions affected by BTB and brucellosis epidemics, respectively (p<0.001). Furthermore, increased case detection of BTB was reported in 2012 and brucellosis in 2019 (p<0.001). Conclusions: This epidemiological platform allows tracking BTB and tuberculosis hotspots, identifying trends over time, and provides useful information to animal health authorities for designing new strategies in control programs.

Abstract

Introduction: Patient safety includes monitoring, analysis, and proposed actions for the prevention of reportable events with unwanted effects (REUE). Objective: To estimate the incidence, preventability, severity, and contributing factors of REUEs in patients admitted to the surgery service. Materials and methods: Prospective cohort study in patients with at least 12hours of hospitalization in the surgical services of a university hospital in Bogotá, Colombia. Random sampling was used and the sample size was 200 subjects. Sociodemographic and baseline clinical variables were evaluated. We estimated the presence of REUE detection events, their preventability and severity. The analysis of the contributing factors was done using the London protocol. Results: A total of 106 women (52.47%) and 96 men (47.53%) were included; the median age was 51.93 years (range 18-93); 60% had at least 1 comorbidity measured by the Charlson index and 25.74% had 3 or more. Of the participants, 28.21% presented at least 1 detection event, the incidence of REUEs was 11.8%, and 75% of them were classified as preventable while 75% were serious events. The main contributing factors were: patient-related 58.33%, related to scheduled tasks and clinical context 50.00%, and work team-related factors 37.50%. Conclusion: The incidence, preventability, and severity of REUE are similar to those reported in the literature. The analysis of the contributing factors shows areas that are susceptible to intervention and can be considered as opportunities for improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. Modelo para la inspección, vigilancia y control sanitario con enfoque de riesgos en Colombia.

Abstract

Colombian Ministry of Health Resolution 1229 of 2013 established that health inspection, surveillance, and control (IVC, Spanish acronym) should be based on a risk-focused approach. In 2014 Colombia's National Food and Drugs Surveillance Institute (INVIMA) designed and implemented a risk-based health surveillance model called IVC-SOA. This model measures the risks of drugs, medical devices, food, and cosmetics by taking into account three factors: severity of the product (S), occurrence of product failure (O), and the potentially affected population (A) - hence its name, SOA. The model incorporates 40 variables and statistical methods that make it possible to create a risk profile for each entity surveyed, and thus to generate a ranking to determine which should be inspected. The objective of this report is to describe the methodology and results obtained following the design and implementation of the IVC-SOA model created by the regulatory agency in Colombia, and its impact on health surveillance effectiveness.

Abstract

La Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS), en colaboración con los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) de los Estados Unidos de América, estableció en 2000 sistemas para la vigilancia de lesiones en Colombia, El Salvador y Nicaragua. Estos sistemas, basados en los servicios hospitalarios de emergencia, formaron parte de un proyecto piloto fundamentado en las guías para la vigilancia de lesiones, desarrolladas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y los CDC. Los objetivos de este proyecto eran evaluar la utilidad de las guías de la OMS/CDC, crear mecanismos apropiados para la vigilancia de lesiones en los tres países, promover intervenciones preventivas adecuadas e integrar la prevención y el control de lesiones en proyectos nacionales de salud pública. En este artículo se describe el proyecto piloto de la OPS/CDC y se resaltan los principios más importantes y las lecciones aprendidas durante sus seis años de funcionamiento (2000-2006). Entre las principales recomendaciones se encuentran la integración de la vigilancia de las lesiones en las unidades de epidemiología e información existentes en los ministerios de salud, la recogida de los datos importantes exclusivamente, la garantía de monitoreos y evaluaciones adecuados y la adopción de las prácticas que han demostrado ser más efectivas para el entrenamiento de personal y la diseminación de información.

Abstract

Objective. Characterize the technical cooperation of Colombia with four bordering countries and determine the training needs of the binational technical groups (BTGs). Methods. Qualitative investigation based on document review and information provided by key actors in this field. To explore training needs, a survey of Colombia-Ecuador BTGs was conducted. Further information was obtained through discussion groups. Deductive and inductive categorization techniques were applied, as well as convergence using the triangulation method. Results. Eighteen agreements/conventions and the documentation from 12 border-area health cooperation projects were obtained. The majority of the projects involved multilateral cooperation. The two priority cooperation topics were the International Health Regulations and Millennium Development Goals 6 and 7. The BTGs considered training in management, health diplomacy, and capacity-building necessary for cooperation in border areas. Conclusions. The border areas exhibited complex intervention scenarios, where international law and foreign policy have defined cooperative actions. In determining the training for BTGs, the national and international regulatory framework and context of the border areas should be taken into account. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

A quantitative and qualitative study to identify mechanisms and actions to help harmonize cross-border health surveillance and provide a timely and effective response to events that may threaten international health security. The capacities of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru were analyzed in three areas: (a) the legal and administrative framework; (b) the ability to detect, evaluate, and report risk situations and (c) the ability to investigate, intervene in, and communicate international health risk situations. Data were collected through a document review, workshops, group work, and semistructured interviews with key individuals in health surveillance in the three countries. The average national capacity for the trio of countries within "the legal and administrative framework" was 69.4%; 83.3% in "the ability to detect, evaluate and report"; and 78.7% in "the ability to investigate, intervene in, and communicate international health risk situations." More resources should be directed toward coordinated action among the three countries in order to strengthen surveillance and public health monitoring in their border areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
