Methods: Through a factorial analysis, the results of the application of an instrument to a sample of four hospital institutions in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba, were summarized and validated. In addition, Pareto analysis was used to identify the main qualitative deficiencies, based on the application of another instrument in the selected institutions.
Results: Deficiencies were identified from the technological, accounting, structural and human talent dimensions. For the main deficiencies, alternative solutions were proposed to mitigate their effects on medical services.
Conclusions: the main problems were concentrated in the technological and human talent dimensions.
