Desarrollo de un sistema Integral para la Gestión Digital de Historias Clínicas en Ginecología y Obstetricia

Abstract

Abstract:Nowadays, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have profoundly transformed the world and its digital management across various sectors, including education, finance, agriculture, and healthcare. These technologies enable the automation of complex processes, making them significantly easier to implement and manage. However, in the private healthcare sector in cities like Riobamba specifically within the gynecology and obstetrics practice of Dr. Alexandra León, located at Hospital San Juan records are still maintained using physical documents or digital files that are ill-suited for today s technological era. While this method of management may offer a quick solution, it presents significant limitations regarding access, security, and the tracking of individual patient information (Lope González Vázquez, 2023). Implementing an electronic medical record system tailored for gynecological care and appointment scheduling would allow for the efficient recording, organization, and retrieval of a patient s clinical information from any device with internet access, thereby enhancing both the quality of care and the management of patient data.
