Reduction of waiting times and improvement in patient experience One of the main results observed was the reduction in waiting times to receive medical care, which directly impacts the timeliness of diagnosis and treatment. By improving coordination between units, the CeCoSaBi centers contributed to streamlining referral and counter-referral processes, facilitating access to specialized services when necessary. This approach also allowed for the optimization of human and material resources, strengthening the operational efficiency of the health system.
Strengthening the first level of care The strategy prioritized the role of the first level of care as the axis of the system, by equipping it with greater capabilities to resolve health problems in a timely manner. In this context, the CeCoSaBi promoted preventive care, continuous patient follow-up, and the timely detection of diseases, fundamental elements for improving health outcomes. The model also favored the integration of services, allowing for a more complete care focused on the needs of individuals.
Institutional coordination and population-centered approach The implementation of these centers represented an advance in the articulation between different components of the health system, promoting greater institutional cohesion. The population-centered approach made it possible to identify specific needs in each territory, adapting the service offer and strengthening equity in access. In this way, the CeCoSaBi contributed to building a more efficient, accessible, and results-oriented system.
Towards a more efficient and closer health system The consolidation of the CeCoSaBi reflected an effort to transform the organization of health services in Mexico, through a model that prioritizes proximity, timeliness, and coordination. This approach allowed for progress towards a more comprehensive care, with a direct impact on reducing access gaps and improving the quality of medical services.
