Introduction: Concern for patient safety became a priority problem in emergency medicine and specifically in intensive care units (ICU) and renal units. Therefore, there are a number of circumstances that make the system even more vulnerable to error. Objective: To analyze the information available about the patient safety policy in renal units in order to suggest actions that allow strengthening the patient safety policy. Methodology: The type of study is descriptive, observational, monograph type of analysis of experiences. This method is suitable for the study because it allowed to focus the social and human perspective of the patients of the renal units. The corresponding population for this monograph was a total of 119 consulted bibliographic references, from the following databases: articles in academic Google, in Scielo, PROQUEST, and documentary materials obtained from the databases of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection. Results: the information collected allows us to appreciate that the incidence of adverse events in patients with CKD varies in different studies, as well as in the use of different methods in their treatment. The impact that adverse events have on patients, the economic burden they imply for health services and the available evidence on measures to prevent them, have warned about the importance of including patient safety on the health policy agenda. Conclusions: In the development of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, patients are exposed to adverse events generating a cost for the renal unit and the health system; It is for this need that the implementation of the patient safety policy is proposed and the patient safety policy is promulgated, through the design of an adverse event management system, adaptation of safe institutional and healthcare practices, socialization, dissemination and feedback of the patient safety policy.

Objetive: to determine the association between social support and quality of life of patients with HIV / AIDS receiving antiretroviral therapy. Methodology: we performed a quantitative study of analytic type. The population consisted of patients with HIV / AIDS receiving antiretroviral therapy in Monteria, Colombia. A total of 77 patients was choosed using a simple random sampling and were assessed for quality of life through the instrument QLI-SP and perceived social support scale. To determine the degree of association we used the Spearman coefficient. Results: the mean age was 33.3 years [CI 95% (31 – 35,8)]. Sixty two percent of patients were men. Among the dimensions of quality of life, physical and occupational functioning reported higher average, while dimensions of community support, social support and personal fulfillment had the lowest average. None of the average dimensions exceeded 7 points on a scale of 1 to 10. Dimension of community support had the greatest variability. The highest correlation was reported by personal fulfillment and family support (r = 0.56, P = 0.0). Conclusion: the interpersonal functioning, social support, community support, personal fulfillment, spiritual fulfillment and overall perception of the quality of life are moderately correlated with the support of family, friends and significant others

Toxoplasmosis is an infection produced by the parasite toxoplasma gondii, whose reservoir is the domestic cat. This infection is transmitted to humans by the dissemination of cat feces to the environment, causing serious complications in people with compromised immune system and in pregnant women causing congenital toxoplasmosis. Compliance with the clinical practice guideline (CPG) of congenital toxoplasmosis in Colombia in the last 20 years is of importance for the audit because it shows the application and adherence to the maternalperinatal population.

When carrying out management processes in an organization, its main characteristics must be taken into account, including its strategic plan, policies, human talent, financial resources, measurement, corrective and preventive measures, audits, monitoring, performance and improvement plans. That all together favors the effectiveness of all the priority processes that are activated by health-providing institutions or those that act as them, with a view to reducing or eliminating errors in health care during the provision of services; being one of these processes to validate the correct identification of patients in health services of any level of care and complexity. Patient identification serves two purposes: to determine safely that the patient is the legitimate recipient of the treatment or procedure, and to ensure that whatever procedure is to be performed, the patient actually needs it. Studies show many investigations in this field concluding that the use of coded wrist bands is the most widely implemented safe practice for identifying patients during service provision, thus avoiding adverse events with risk to the patient's life.

Introduction: The quality of health care refers to ensuring the provision of individual and collective services in an achievable, equitable and optimal way through suitable officials, taking into account the study between benefits, risks and costs, in order to achieve the user satisfaction. Objective: To analyze the evidence that exists on the perception of the quality of service to adults in the IPS in the last 5 years. Methodology: The monograph was developed in two successive phases: heuristics or search and selection and the hermeneutics known as assimilation or writing of the texts by the authors; From this second phase the final considerations, conclusions and recommendations arise. The aim is to identify the perception of the quality of the adult service and how they classify the care provided by the service providers and what elements it takes into account for it. Results: The main results of the monograph indicate that the perception of quality in the provision of health services in the adult population makes a great difference when the user wishes to consult or choose their care. When providing a service, users express their perception of the care provided and evaluate whether or not it met their expectations; It is at this point that they decide whether or not they want to use them again. They are rated favorably when they are well listened to and oriented due to the stage of life they are in. This is why each IPS must focus on providing quality services and its main axis must be the perception of users. Conclusions: Once the research was concluded, it was possible to show that the perception of the quality and satisfaction of the service lies in the way in which each human being is cared for. Aspects described by users as one of the most relevant, and that in many cases determines the competitiveness and permanence of health institutions in the market.
