Abstract
Honduras presentó un problema considerable con la diabetes y la hipertensión arterial en 2019, donde estas enfermedades han causado un 71.4% de las muertes, señalando la importancia de la identificación y captación de las enfermedades no transmisibles. El sistema de salud ha carecido de un sistema de información integrado y eficiente para las ENT.En este contexto, se ha propuesto el desarrollo de un modelo de historia clínica electrónica para pacientes con hipertensión y diabetes en el Centro Integrado de Salud en El Níspero, Santa Bárbara. El enfoque ha estado en la implementación de un sistema de registros médicos electrónicos en respuesta al incremento de las enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT) en Honduras, donde la hipertensión y la diabetes han sido altamente prevalentes y han representado una porción significativa de la mortalidad nacional.El objetivo ha sido mejorar la gestión y el seguimiento de enfermedades crónicas. Se ha utilizado una metodología en cascada, dado que el proyecto se ha dividido en fases secuenciales que han incluido mapeo de datos, adaptación del formato JICA y pruebas de validación en el sistema GNU Health.Además, se ha propuesto un modelo que ha mejorado la precisión en la captura de datos y la eficiencia en la atención médica. Los resultados principales han mostrado una integración exitosa de los registros, facilitando una mejor coordinación y seguimiento de los tratamientos y condiciones de los pacientes.Las conclusiones han resaltado la efectividad del sistema en mejorar la eficiencia del manejo de la información sanitaria, con una adaptabilidad del 96.69% a las necesidades locales, lo que ha resultado esencial para combatir la prevalencia de enfermedades no transmisibles en la región.
Honduras presented a considerable problem with diabetes and high blood pressure in 2019, where these diseases caused 71.4% of deaths, pointing out the importance of identifying and capturing non-communicable diseases. The health system has lacked an integrated and efficient information system for NCDs.In this context, the development of an electronic medical history model for patients with hypertension and diabetes at the Integrated Health Center in El Níspero, Santa Bárbara has been proposed. The focus has been on the implementation of an electronic medical records system in response to the increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Honduras, where hypertension and diabetes have been highly prevalent and have represented a significant portion of national mortality.The objective has been to improve the management and monitoring of chronic diseases. A waterfall methodology has been used, since the project has been divided into sequential phases that have included data mapping, adaptation of the JICA format, and validation tests in the GNU Health system.Additionally, a model has been proposed that has improved accuracy in data capture and efficiency in healthcare. The main results have shown a successful integration of the records, facilitating better coordination and monitoring of patients' treatments and conditions.The conclusions have highlighted the effectiveness of the system in improving the efficiency of health information management, with an adaptability of 96.69% to local needs, which has been essential to combat the prevalence of non-communicable diseases in the region.
