Sistema de historias clínicas y citas médicas aplicado a la especialidad de pie diabético.

Abstract

The vast majority of the data from the clinical history of patients who attend medical consultations is recorded manually or in Excel files, which causes many inconveniences to the doctor. The EHRs are the automation alternative for the HCs because they incorporate all the information corresponding to the patient's pathologies, requested and performed tests and all the medical information. Although the EHR is the most appropriate option, it is not for the diabetic foot specialty, since it does not contemplate many parameters of the disease. To solve this inconvenience, the development of a system of HC and medical appointments applied to the diabetic foot specialty for a medical office is proposed, for which the inductive method and the qualitative methodological approach and the interview were used to gather information. From the interviews carried out, it was discovered that the EHR implemented for diabetic foot could become a tool of great value for doctors and their patients, especially if it is customized for diabetic foot, facilitating better diagnosis and treatment. It is concluded that the EHR for diabetic foot based on the Saint Elian classification met the expectations of the medical office. It is recommended to extend new developments to other medical specialties.
