Introduction:

The effort of universities to improve the quality of health services leads to building up a culture of quality, and to implementing strategies oriented to research and process reengineering.

Objective:

To carry out an integrative review of the completion works of the specialty Health Management and Organization and which investigate the quality of health services in Cuba.

Methods:

Integrative review of the final works of the residence in the period 2015-2018 in the National School of Public Health. In the search, the following keywords were used: satisfacción [satisfaction], calidad en salud [quality in health], trabajos de terminación de la especialidad [residence completion works], and especialidad Organización y Administración de Salud [specialty Health Management and Organization]. 31 investigations were selected and subjected to a methodological quality-based analysis.

Results:

The largest number of works corresponded to 2018, which were mainly concentrated in the provinces of Cienfuegos and Camagüey. The category evaluation of the quality of the medical care process was the most recurrent. Various quality-based approaches were used, while the systemic approach of structure, process and results predominated.

Conclusions:

The quality of health services constitutes a research topic of interest to graduates; however, the use is scarce of other quality-based approaches not related to the systemic approach. The research carried out allowed to identify difficulties and dissatisfactions of external users and health providers, mainly related to the structural dimension.
