Objective: To analyze the level of evolution that financial productivity indicators in the subsidized health regime in Colombia has suffered. Materials and Methods: Qualitative, descriptive, purposive, quantitative study supported in a multivariate discriminant analysis (MDA), which allows significant differences analysis during the period between 2008 and 2010. Financial productivity indicators are defined and calculated by analyzing the meaningful differences and means of the periods studied. Results: According to the research work, it could be demonstrated that there are significant differences in the two periods studied; from the indicators selected for the subsidized health regime, it could be demonstrated that the titles for the discriminant function analysis showed significant improvements in Gross Profit / Value Added (IP1), Net Income / Value Added (IP3), Value Added / Capital Operating (IP4) and for the means analysis only the Net Income / Value added (IP3) improved during the period between 2008 and 2010. Conclusion: With this research work, it could be concluded, through the discriminant analysis, that there is a significant difference in the two periods studied, and significant improvement for the indicator IP3. The discriminant function model allows predicting the behavior of indicators in the future with a 92.6% probability.
