Como es sabido los servicios públicos hacen parte fundamental de la vida diaria, dado que son esenciales para subsistir. La carencia de alguno de ellos, desestabilizaría parcial o totalmente una zona urbana y/o rural. La empresa de acueducto y alcantarillado de Villavicencio (EAAV) cuenta con un sistema postpago para los servicios que ofrece, uno de dichos servicios es el sistema de acueducto que abastece gran parte del casco urbano y rural de la ciudad de Villavicencio[1], siendo cientos de personas las que hacen uso de este líquido vital, que además no cuentan con un control sobre la cantidad de su consumo mensual, esto lleva a un desperdicio en muchas ocasiones; Aparte de ser un agravante para la situación ambiental, también influye en el bolsillo de los consumidores quienes ven reflejado esto en su factura mensual.Resultado para Optar el Titulo de Ingeniero de Sistemas.

    Global economic burden of unmet surgical need for appendicitis

    Background There is a substantial gap in provision of adequate surgical care in many low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to identify the economic burden of unmet surgical need for the common condition of appendicitis. Methods Data on the incidence of appendicitis from 170 countries and two different approaches were used to estimate numbers of patients who do not receive surgery: as a fixed proportion of the total unmet surgical need per country (approach 1); and based on country income status (approach 2). Indirect costs with current levels of access and local quality, and those if quality were at the standards of high-income countries, were estimated. A human capital approach was applied, focusing on the economic burden resulting from premature death and absenteeism. Results Excess mortality was 4185 per 100 000 cases of appendicitis using approach 1 and 3448 per 100 000 using approach 2. The economic burden of continuing current levels of access and local quality was US 92492millionusingapproach1and92 492 million using approach 1 and 73 141 million using approach 2. The economic burden of not providing surgical care to the standards of high-income countries was 95004millionusingapproach1and95 004 million using approach 1 and 75 666 million using approach 2. The largest share of these costs resulted from premature death (97.7 per cent) and lack of access (97.0 per cent) in contrast to lack of quality. Conclusion For a comparatively non-complex emergency condition such as appendicitis, increasing access to care should be prioritized. Although improving quality of care should not be neglected, increasing provision of care at current standards could reduce societal costs substantially
