recently born over 30 years the origins of the Department of Emergency Regulators in Colombia, but then did not receive this designation. The Capital District, Antioquia, Valle and Atlantic developed this component with the support of the Emergency and Disaster Branch of the Ministry of Health, at the time. Very rapidly in most departments had, from the respective health directorates, an official with the responsibility of coordinating the communications component in its area of \u200b\u200binfluence and the regulation of accident and emergency, as well as referral and patients.
At that time, the flow of information from local territorial levels to departments was swift, thanks to the strength of communications in the health sector, which was recognized by the different sectors at the national level. In the same order were also major developments of patient transfer component, thus strengthened the National Emergency with modern ambulances and water and replacement of radio equipment.
For various political and strategic circumstances, coupled with the escalation of internal armed conflict in our country, these developments were declining, despite the efforts of today the Ministry of Social Protection and particularly the Group of Care Emergencies and Disasters and cooperating institutions in the field.
health reform and regulation rushed into different departmental levels and shrinking institutional restructuring of or otherwise affected the heterogeneity of the developments in that component. While some departments and districts, were strengthened Department of Emergency Regulators-CRUE, others reduced to a minimum or simply faded away. Illegal armed actors contributed to this situation, attempting to directly and indirectly against the Medical Mission by International Humanitarian Law Violations in all categories, within which, the looting of the base stations and radios are not left out.
If to this we add the complexity of the Security System Social Health, the multiplicity of actors involved in the care of the population and the diversity of forms of contracting and performance-stimulated and vilified the last link in the chain, the health personnel serving in the emergency department, we understand what is coined the words "walk of death" or "the macabre tour, without trying to justify it.
In an effort to counter these situations, strengthen the Essential Function of Public Health No. 11 and provide another element to improving the quality component of health care, the Ministry of Social Protection Social issued Resolution 1220 of April 8, 2010, by which sets out the conditions and requirements for the organization, operation and functioning of Regulators Department of Emergency, which develops Article 18 of Decree 4747 of December 7, 2007.
Thanks to this legislation, which gives six months for its implementation (October 8, 2010), the country's territorial authorities must ensure, either directly or through contracts or agreements, the organization of their centers Regulators Accident and Emergency, duly authenticated by administrative act. The health system allows for the financing of The CRUE through contracts or agreements with the different actors.
means that from this period is an opportunity for departments to create or adjust the existing CRUE, giving life to strengthen legal and human resources, physical, technical / technological, information and organization of the transport network and an agreed definition, effective and efficient processes and procedures for the proper regulation of emergency, emergency or disaster situations, including coordination with network transplant, blood, red toxicological , among others. Undoubtedly
that, to show that through the work of CRUE results in a reduction in the impact of emergencies, emergencies and disasters on the health of communities will be necessary to implement the relevant indicators and approved from the national level and implement effective strategies for information dissemination to all stakeholders.
