Abstract
MACIAS-ANGEL, Beatriz and AGUDELO-CALDERON, Carlos A. Exploring models for the assessment of the economic, social, political, and scientific impact of health research. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.3, pp.470-481. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v17n3.52918.
Health research produces effects on the health of populations. This document approaches the frameworks and the models used by developed countries to assess the impact of health research through documentary analysis of research with the highest impact. With this, it was possible to identify two guiding axes of analysis: one having to do with focus, and the other having to do with emphasis. With these, the published models, their uses, their reach, and their origins are related. Our study brings awareness to the features they have and the areas in which Colombia could implement them. We found that the framework for evaluating health research known as the "payback model" is a model for monitoring research that tracks the process and research results with multidimensional categorization of the impacts of research.
