Estrategias para el mejoramiento en adherencia de los pacientes al programa de riesgo cardiovascular en Sanidad Militar BAS 08

Resumen

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Colombia and the world. Therefore, multiple activities are carried out in health institutions seeking to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce complications and death from these diseases. Nonetheless, adherence to these programs is limited by multiple factors including economic, social, health care-related factors, among others. The present article aimed to identify and analyze the causes of non-adherence to the cardiovascular risk program of the BAS 08 military health establishment in the period 2019 to 2020. Subsequently, based on the modern paradigm to improve the quality of health care, an education plan focused on the patient and his family was designed in order to reduce non-adherence to the cardiovascular risk program. Finally, it was concluded that the implementation of this plan generates a positive impact on the population by reducing the barriers to care and increasing the rate of adherence to the institutional cardiovascular risk program.
