La gran oportunidad de la salud digital en América Latina y el Caribe
La pandemia de COVID-19 demostró la centralidad de la salud de la población para las economías y el bienestar social, a la vez que evidenció serios problemas estructurales de larga data en los sistemas sanitarios. En América Latina y el Caribe (ALC), se destacaron serias deficiencias en dimensiones básicas como calidad, resultados, costos y equidad. Hoy, los países deben gestionar la complejidad cada vez mayor de sus sistemas sanitarios mientras …
Barreras y facilitadores a la implementación de la telemedicina en las Américas
Con millones de personas en el mundo en situación de distanciamiento físico por el COVID-19, las tecnologías de la información y comunicaciones (TICs) se han posicionado como uno de los medios principales de interacción y colaboración. Ya al inicio de este milenio se empezaban a mencionar las siguientes ventajas: mayor acceso a la información y a la prestación de servicios; fortalecimiento educativo; control de calidad de los programas de detecci…
Toward a holistic definition for Information Systems for Health in the age of digital interdependence
The article’s main objective is to propose a new definition for Information Systems for Health, which is characterized by the identification and involvement of all the parts of a complex and interconnected process for data collection and decision-making in public health in the information society. The development of the concept was through a seven-step process including document analysis, on-site and virtual sessions for experts, and an online su…
Default options: A powerful behavioral tool to increase Covid-19 contact tracing app acceptance in Latin America
Given the rates of transmission of COVID-19, relying only on manual contact tracing might be infeasible to control the epidemic without sustained costly lockdowns or rapid vaccination efforts. In the first study of its kind in Latin America, we find through a phone survey of a nationally representative sample of ten countries that an opt-out regime (automatic installation) increases self-reported intention to accept a contact tracing app with exp…

Experimental Long-Term Effects of Early-Childhood and School-Age Exposure to a Conditional Cash Transfer Program
Pensions for the Poor: The Effects of Non-contributory Pensions in El Salvador
Experimental long-term effects of early-childhood and school-age exposure to a conditional cash transfer program
Understanding public perception of the need for major change in Latin American healthcare systems
The opinions and experiences of the public regarding health services are valuable insights into identifying opportunities to improve healthcare systems. We analyzed the 2012-2013 Public Opinion Health Policy Survey carried out in Brazil (n = 1486), Colombia (n = 1485), El Salvador (n = 1460), Jamaica (n = 1480), México (n = 1492) and Panama (n = 1475). In these countries between 82 and 96% of participants perceived that their health systems neede…
Shocks and Coping Strategies in the Urban Squatter Settlements of San Salvador
This article provides an assessment of shocks and coping strategies in the urban squatter settlements of San Salvador. Using a multi‐shocks household survey, it is shown that shocks like flooding, landslide, increase in food prices, insecurity, and illness or serious casualty prevail in these areas. Regression results show no significant effects of shocks on current consumption, which may indicate the existence of household consumption‐smoothing …
