Transparency and public accountability are two essential aspects of public administrations because they help to prevent possible cases of corruption and encourage citizen participation. In this sense, transparency is a communicative, not merely administrative or legal, process between public institutions and citizens. The main objective of this study is to identify predictive factors of transparency in government healthcare centers in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Spain in 2021. To do this, we analyzed the websites of 64 public administrations from these countries. Content analysis was applied to assess the presence of 24 indicators on each website. The results for the studied cases reveal an association between the level of transparency and three factors: healthcare systems, internet access, and administration levels. We also identified a predictive factor that should be considered in future studies on the transparency of healthcare websites: the likelihood of decreased transparency was reduced by 91% for public healthcare systems (Ecuador and Spain) as opposed to mixed public -private healthcare systems (Chile and Colombia). We thereby conclude that the involvement of the State, at least in matters related to the healthcare field, favors greater access to information by the community, at the same time as providing greater social responsibility because of substantial communication of the activities carried out by these centers, as well as how and by whom. |

En este sentido, la transparencia es un proceso comunicativo, no un mero proceso administrativo o legal entre las ins-tituciones públicas y los ciudadanos. El objetivo principal de este artículo es identificar los factores predictivos de la transparencia en los sitios gubernamentales de salud de Chile, Colombia, Ecuador y España en 2021. Para ello, hemos analizado los sitios web de 64 administraciones públicas de estos países. El estudio se basó en un análisis de contenido a partir del examen de 24 indicadores en cada una de esas páginas. Los resultados revelan una asociación entre el nivel de transparencia y tres factores: los sistemas de salud, el acceso a internet y los niveles de la administración. También se identifica un factor predictivo que debe ser considerado en estudios futuros sobre la transparencia de los servicios de salud: la probabilidad de contar con una menor transparencia se reduce en un 91% de posibilidades para los sistemas públicos de salud (Ecuador y España), frente a los sistemas mixtos público-privados (Chile y Colombia). En consecuen-cia, la presencia del Estado en el campo de la salud genera una mayor apertura de la información y, al mismo tiempo, muestra una mayor responsabilidad social de esas instituciones gracias a la comunicación sobre lo que se hace, quiénes lo hacen y cómo lo hacen. 22022-01-0120222022-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/251559https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.3145/epi.2022.ene.04reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
