ABSTRACT
Background: the impact of scientific and technological innovation is considered as the lasting changes that occur in society.Objective: to assess the impact of research projects results of the territorial and ramal scientific-technical programs in health services of Camagüey.
Method: a methodological proposal on the impact of the results of technological development and innovation projects in health services was performed. For validation was carried out a specialists’ consultation and a test with 30 projects.

They also considered the greatest negative effect to the proposal implementation should be expected in the skepticism or administrative indifference, option that reached the greatest number of weighted points and it was considered the first place of the 14 valid answers.
Conclusions: the methodology was considered relevant by specialists of probable effectiveness; it may become a useful tool to resolve constraints faced in measuring impact, it is feasible to apply if eradicated structural health system weaknesses. The elaboration of the control list constitutes a dynamic and essential element based on the definition of expected projects, its performance indicators and the commitment of the members of the research team.
