Within the practice of public health at a global level there is now a greater interest in conceptualizing, materialize, and achieve the development of "healthy communities". Such communities would require the approach of new approaches in the planning to tackle its challenges based on timely access to information and collaborative planning of their local processes. However, until the moment little research focuses on methods based on these principles collaborative support to this type of response required in health planning of these communities.
In addition in developing countries has been implementing the Model of Integral Health Care Family, Community and Intercultural Education (MAIS-FCI), whose design requires articulate an artifact agile to integrate its public officials, health teams and community in the identification, analysis and decision-making of comprehensive health actions of its territory. Thereby allowing the planning and direction of strategic actions where the community becomes the active subject of the construction and health care, raising sustainable solutions through a proper analysis of its geographical area.
In this way, in this thesis is presented an investigation that was intended to propose and evaluate a conceptual and methodological model of collective planning for the identification of health services in the territory. The model, through a collective intelligence geospatial system sought to provide an ideal tool to optimize the process of decision-making in health planning (for example: the distribution of health services) and facilitate so the development of healthy communities located in varied and complex geographic settings.
By adopting the methodology of Participatory Action Research (IAP by its acronym in Spanish) along with a helper method as is the documentary research, generated an artifact called Geospatial Health Planning Model of Collective Intelligence (MPSIC), with which it was able to promote a process of collective intelligence in the health communities participating in the evaluation of sites suitable for the distribution of health services. This model was evaluated in two different situations of location of sanitary campaigns in Ecuador: The first for post of supply of screening tests of HIV and the second for days of collection of blood. Annual extramural The main results obtained exhibited an acceptable level of relevance and adequacy of the proposed model in health planning, as well as an empowerment of the knowledge of the participants, improve the participation and consensus in the decision-making process for the allocation of health services. It also managed to determine geographic sites suitable to highly specialized problems in the field of health through a group of multidisciplinary experts without previous knowledge in geo-technological tools.
