The institution operates within Colombia's Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS) and generates revenue exclusively through capitation payments (Unidad de Pago por Capitación, UPC), fee-for-service arrangements with Empresas Promotoras de Salud (EPS) covering both contributive and subsidized regime affiliates, and government subsidies. No direct patient pricing is disclosed. The entity is 100% state-owned under the departmental government of Cundinamarca, with no parent company, no private investors, and no listing. It is governed by a Board of Directors; current administration (2024-2027) is led by Gerente Luis Alfredo Niño Benitez, with subgerencias covering administrative/financial, scientific, and community portfolios.

The technology stack consists of standard healthcare information management systems for patient care, billing, and administrative operations under the SGSSS framework; no proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or digital products are disclosed. The institution runs on the Mi Colombia Digital government portal infrastructure with institutional presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. It is currently undertaking infrastructure modernization, with a new hospital facility under construction in Villa de San Diego de Ubaté (public tenders active as of mid-2026). Recent regulatory modernization includes Resolución 081 de 2026 (Contracting Manual), Acuerdo 12 de 2026 (Contracting Statute), Resolución 165 de 2025 (Institutional Management Committee), and Resolución 192 de 2025 (Document Management Program).
