In the present work, we try to find the determinants of innovation capabilities in the health care organizations. Firstly, the structural and measurement model was elaborated to account the relations between the latent variables and the manifest ones. Secondly, the model was identified; subsequent to this, we proceeded to calculate the adjustment indexes and using some techniques of multivariate methods. Then, we analyzed the areas of the model that did not fit properly to intervene them and thus achieve an optimal adjustment. We proposed some hypothesis that allowed us to prove positive causal relationships between the Innovation Capabilities and the variables. We had 283 observations extracted from the network of high complexity hospitals in Colombia during the years 2016 and 2017. A model with a significant adjustment that would account for the triggers of Innovation Capabilities in health care organizations was obtained. Finally, the positive impact of knowledge management, human resource management, management capabilities, organizational culture, and some factors associated with the health care Organizations on Innovation Capabilities was demonstrated.
