Resumen
The design of a healthcare system and its implementation are one of the most
significant challenges for a society. At the same time it is the main guarantee of the right to proper health services for the members of society. Perhaps, the biggest challenge in
designing such systems is to manage the financial risk in the provision of health services.
This document illustrates how such challenge can be approached through the use of
quantitative risk management tools. Although these tool have been in used in the design of the current healthcare system in Colombia it is important to identify them, provide
additional tools to attack specific problems in the system and look at the challenges ahead, especially those related to risk management in current healthcare reform.
