Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Identifying a minimum set of efficiency indicators calculated from current information sources. Interventions adopted from the analysis of these indicators could contribute to health services sustainability. METHOD: We applied the discussion group technique. A total of 23 quality coordinators from around the country and the representatives of the regional quality societies in SECA (Spanish Society for Quality in Healthcare) participated. RESULTS: Ten efficiency indicators useful for integrated management areas were identified and accepted, 5 in the area of primary care and 5 for hospital management. CONCLUSION: The efficiency indicators agreed upon could contribute to the sustainability of the health system without this affecting the quality of care.
