Abstract

Comprehensive care for the cancer patient requires the coordination of different medical and surgical specialties, as well as the synergy of a diversity of diagnostic, clinical and social support services. In Colombia, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection is the one who has the power to verify compliance with the standards, technical-scientific conditions, for the opening and operation of new oncology services, identifying it as a service enabled in the Special Registry of Health Service Providers-REPS (Murcia, et al., 2018). The lack of integration of services and timely surgery programming can lead to the fragmentation of health care. This research aims to measure the impact of opening surgical rooms on waiting times in oncological surgical procedures in a highly complex institution in Santander, Colombia. This work is structured as follows, taking into account the problem statement, the aim is to describe the purpose of the research, formulate the problem through the delimitation of the research field within which the project will be developed, justifying it with relevant information about the importance and relevance of the project. It consists of breaking down the main research question, to identify the variables involved, in this way, establish the objectives and purposes. defined for carrying out the research.
