Abstract
This paper evaluates how different entities, both national and international, interact with the design of indicators, and how the Colombian Constitutional Court promotes the use of indicator tools to assess government regulation. The Court highlights use of criteria to fulfill the right to health, and what variables must be included towards a complete understanding of compliance regarding that right. The study examines global concern for the right to health and the use of rights indicators. The Court created guidelines for the development of indicators that helped to identify the features of a constitutional health system.
