La premisa de la iniciativa IS4H (Information Systems For Health), sugiere que la IS4H es una herramienta para evaluar la capacidad organizativa relacionada con la gobernabilidad, la gesti\u00f3n de datos, la transformaci\u00f3n digital, la innovaci\u00f3n y la gesti\u00f3n de conocimiento. Seg\u00fan la definici\u00f3n oficial de la OPS los sistemas de informaci\u00f3n de la salud o IS4H son un mecanismo de gesti\u00f3n de sistemas interoperables de datos abiertos procedentes de diferentes fuentes de uso \u00e9tico, mediante herramientas efectivas de TIC, con el fin de generar informaci\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gica por el bien de la salud p\u00fablica. Tras la reuni\u00f3n en 2016, se realizaron otras dos en Centroam\u00e9rica y Sudam\u00e9rica en 2017 y 2018 respectivamente. Estas reuniones funcionaron para introducir una visi\u00f3n que ayudara a establecer un marco general de operaci\u00f3n y una comprensi\u00f3n general de los componentes de los IS4H. Los informes de estas reuniones est\u00e1n disponibles en: https:\/\/www.paho.org\/ish\/index.php\/es\/ Seg\u00fan Marcelo D&#8217;Agostino, asesor senior de la OPS\/OMS, IS4H es un programa de trabajo que fue construido con y para los pa\u00edses que buscan fortalecer sus sistemas de informaci\u00f3n, mejorar procesos de gesti\u00f3n de datos, crear m\u00e9todos de an\u00e1lisis, producci\u00f3n de escenarios, formulaci\u00f3n de pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas y toma de decisiones informadas, entre otros, todo para el desarrollo de la salud p\u00fablica. \u00a0D\u2019Agostino ha mencionado que \u201cpara tener pol\u00edticas de salud y decisiones informadas es necesario tener una visi\u00f3n hol\u00edstica del tema y es fundamental poder tener acceso a datos, estructurados y no estructurados que provengan de todos los sectores y que puedan ser de inter\u00e9s del sector salud&#8221;. Como su nombre lo indica los IS4H no son solamente sistemas de informaci\u00f3n enfocados directamente a la salud sino sistemas de informaci\u00f3n que pueden ser implementados adecuadamente a los sistemas de salud. La meta principal de los IS4H es implementar un mejor mecanismo para la formulaci\u00f3n de pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas con base en las buenas pr\u00e1cticas de toma de decisiones mediante sistemas de salud que garanticen el acceso universal gratuito y puntual a datos e informaci\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gica, empleando herramientas digitales y TIC con mayor costo beneficio. Algunos de los principios de estos sistemas son: El manejo de estad\u00edsticas vitales, la estandarizaci\u00f3n de m\u00e9todos, la digitalizaci\u00f3n de los gobiernos, la promoci\u00f3n de datos como factor para el \u00e9xito, y el aprovechamiento del uso de datos estructurados y no estructurados. La implementaci\u00f3n de las IS4H abre infinidad de posibilidades para los gobiernos en materia de gesti\u00f3n de datos y el descubrimiento de nuevos desaf\u00edos en salud p\u00fablica. La OPS gu\u00eda el Maturity Model (IS4H-MM), en palabras de D&#8217;Agostino &#8220;un conjunto de herramientas y m\u00e9todos que permiten trabajar junto a los pa\u00edses para definir no solo el nivel de madurez de sus sistemas de informaci\u00f3n para la salud, sino que, y m\u00e1s importante a\u00fan, elaborar un plan de acci\u00f3n y hoja de ruta basado en evidencia s\u00f3lidas&#8221;. Las IS4H-MM se clasifican en cinco niveles que se encargan de diferentes tareas y desaf\u00edos. el IS4H-1 Iniciado, su principal caracter\u00edstica son los datos disponibles y se enfoca en la concientizaci\u00f3n. El segundo nivel IS4H-2 En desarrollo, tiene como caracter\u00edstica la informaci\u00f3n en salud es administrada, y se enfoca en la implementaci\u00f3n de mejores pr\u00e1cticas, Para el IS4H-3 Definido, se busca la toma decisiones basadas en informaci\u00f3n de calidad en salud y se enfoca en la estandarizaci\u00f3n de procesos y mejora continua. El IS4H-4 Optimizado, se caracteriza por la gobernanza y la integraci\u00f3n del IS4H, y se enfoca en la integraci\u00f3n y alineaci\u00f3n. El ultimo nivel, IS4H-5 Innovaci\u00f3n, se refiere a cuando todos los componentes del sistema est\u00e1n totalmente desplegados y se enfoca en la innovaci\u00f3n continua de estos componentes. \u00a0D&#8217;Agostino explica que estos sistemas est\u00e1n dirigidos a los Ministros de Salud de las am\u00e9ricas, para el trabajo de datos desagregados a nivel subnacional, que es lo que se necesita para la medici\u00f3n del progreso de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenibles (ODS). La aplicaci\u00f3n de herramientas complejas de Salud Digital que involucran la gesti\u00f3n y an\u00e1lisis de datos a gran escala, buscan fortalecer las instituciones para de esta forma promover las pol\u00edticas bien fundamentadas. Y tambi\u00e9n buscan generar herramientas para la gesti\u00f3n de datos en salud p\u00fablica como los registros electr\u00f3nicos de salud, las cartillas de vacunaci\u00f3n digitales, la clasificaci\u00f3n de informaci\u00f3n gracias a la infraestructura tecnol\u00f3gica de an\u00e1lisis masivo de datos como es el Big Data. Adem\u00e1s de promover la transparencia y el Gobierno abierto a trav\u00e9s de la digitalizaci\u00f3n del mismo.
