Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SOGCS?
The SOGCS (Sistema Obligatorio de Garantía de Calidad en Salud) is Colombia’s regulatory framework for healthcare quality. It governs mandatory accreditation, the quality improvement audit program (PAMEC), higher-level quality certification, and the healthcare quality information system.
Do you work only with IPS providers, or also with independent professionals?
We work with both: healthcare provider institutions (IPS) of any size, as well as independent professionals and private practices that must meet accreditation requirements.
How long does an accreditation process take?
It depends on the current state of your processes and the complexity of the services you provide. That’s why the first step is always a diagnosis that lets us estimate timelines and effort together with your team.
Does the engagement include the official verification visit?
Yes. We support you in the preparation beforehand and, if needed, during the verification visit from the competent authorities.
