de Calidad en Salud (Sicalidad) program of the Ministry

quantitative components. A cluster probabilístic sample was
used with two stages. A total of 3 034 interviews were carried
out in 13 states to evaluate the implementation of the eight
components of the Sicalidad program. General indexes of
performance (GIP) were formulated for structure process and
satisfaction of users, physicians and nurses with the program.
Results. The GIP with the lower score was accreditation of
health facilities with a range of scores between 25.4 and 28%
in the medical units evaluated; The highest range of scores
was in the component of nosocomial infection prevention
between 78.3 and 92%.

quality initiatives.
