Strategic Focus
The Urgencies and Emergencies Research Group of Universidad de Antioquia’s Faculty of Medicine seeks to generate new knowledge and verifiable quality information as an input for decision making from the clinical levels of health policy administration, framed in the acknowledgment of the scientific community and research excellence. For this reason, we propose the following objectives:
1) To contribute toward improving quality in emergencies assistance;
2) To develop continuing education programs for physicians and health professionals, with an emphasis on emergencies;
3) To provide research training to medical students and emergency residents;
4) To evaluate the quality of health services provision in the emergencies area through a monitoring network;
5) To build models for assistance in emergencies that improve assistance quality;
6) To advice public and private bodies in defining, implementing, and monitoring such models.
Goal: To become a national referent in training, research, and advising in the emergencies area to improve health conditions and health services provision in the country.
Research Areas and Topics

Main Research Results
Telepsychiatry: a successful experience in Antioquia, Colombia. DOI: 10.1016/j.rcp.2019.06.005
- Health systems across the world have not been able to respond to the burden of mental disorders adequately; for this reason, strategies such as telepsychiatry are considered an ideal and sufficiently accepted care modality for persons living in remote areas and facing difficulties in accessing specialized health services in the country.
Non-intentional lesions and deaths in the department of Antioquia, Colombia. Observational descriptive study, 2016 and 2017. Iatreia. 2021 in press. DOI: 10.17533/udea.iatreia.151.
-
This study shows a decrease in the rates of non-intentional lesions and an increase in accidental mortality in Antioquia, when compared to previous years. Such a behavior is different from what is reported in the international literature.
Association between diagnosis delay and advanced clinical stage of breast cancer during consultation in four oncology centers in Medellín, Colombia, 2017. Cross-sectional study. DOI: 10.18597/rcog.3410
-
Educational interventions on patients are required to adhere to early screening programs or timely consultation when a sign or symptom is identified in order to achieve a diagnosis during the early stages of the disease. Furthermore, prospective studies are necessary to determine the factors linked with delays in receiving treatment once breast cancer is diagnosed and to evaluate the interventions intended to reduce delays in care for this cancer.
