ABSTRACT
Introduction. An immediate challenge for the hospital of second level of complexity (HSLC) in Cuba is related to the integration that reaches in a healthcare network, characterized by its universal coverage, the approved services developed, the availability of its human resources, its technology and complexity. The objective of the study was to identify the strengths and weaknesses for the integration to the care network of the Hospital “Gustavo Aldereguía Lima” and its specialized outpatient center (HGAL-CEA).Material and method. A cross-sectional research during the month of September 2014. The universe was formed by providers and managers of the HGAL and his CEA “Heroes of Playa Giron”. It was obtained an intentional sample by criteria constituted by 37 subjects among both occupational categories to which it was applied an ad hoc questionnaire.
Results. We identified six goals with partial integration and eight integrated. Of the 76 criteria explored we identified 15 criteria with weaknesses in the integration, which constitutes 20% of the total explored. There are differences in the perception of integration between managers and providers in 18 criteria.
Conclusions. There are strengths and weaknesses in the integration of the network of services from the hospital perspective. The 42% of the goals of integration explored was classified with partial integration. There are no perceived fragmented goals from the perspective explored. We identified a set of weaknesses in the criteria for integration explored. There are differences in the perception of integration between managers and providers that can constitute barriers to the development of the network.
