Sistema de información aplicado al proceso de atención de pacientes de un establecimiento de salud en el norte de Perú.

Abstract

In this study, the implementation of an information system was explored to improve the patient care process in a level III health center in Cajamarca, Peru. In the past, the health center managed everything manually, which was time-consuming and made it difficult to access clinical information. To address this challenge, it was decided to deploy an information system following the AUP methodology, divided into four phases: project conception, development, and system construction transition. In terms of technology, Microsoft Access was used as a development environment and Microsoft SQL Server as a database engine in a client-server architecture. The results were promising, since the system had a positive impact on the management of patient care, managing to reduce the execution time of the processes by 22.04% on average. Ultimately, it is stated that the Information System deployed increased its effectiveness by more efficiently managing patient care at the Cajamarca health center.
