Introduction:
The evaluation of the quality of care in the health field has generated important results allowing to improve the services offered.
Objective:
To evaluate the quality of care for patients with clinical suspicion of leptospirosis.
Methods:
An investigation was carried out in health services through an observational and analytical design including 166 patients who were admitted with clinical suspicion of leptospirosis at Manuel Ascunce Domenech and Amalia Simoni Provincial Clinical Surgical Hospitals in Camagüey city, during January -December 2022. The studied variables were age groups, sex, skin color, place of origin, structure, process and results indicators.
Results:
Patients aged between 33-44 years (25.9%), male (84.3%), and from Camagüey municipality (63.9%) predominated. 56.2% were non vaccinated workers under exposure (95.9%). The overall evaluation of the structure indicator was 77.8%, while the process and results obtained 30.4 and 23.1%, respectively.
Conclusions:
The evaluation of the medical care provided, in terms of process and outcome criteria, was inadequate; in contrast, the structure indicator was adequate.
