Continuing activities within the framework of Academic Exchange Programs, the Director of International Relations and Scholarships at the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Asuncion, Prof. Dr. Ramón Battaglia with his support team presented this morning three new professionals from the United States and Canada.
The fellows will be working along about two years to implement an innovative computer records to support patients in the emergency department Clinical Hospital.
The doctor of medicine and Dr. Matthew Kesinger Mohini Dasari University of Pittsburgh in addition to the computer engineer and programmer Barret Stutzman, University of Vancouver, visit the Hospital de Clinicas, specifically Adult Emergency Department over two years, in order to train staff in the use of new software that will facilitate patient care and diagnosis.
“We came as part of a International Fellowship in countries like Canada, USA, Paraguay, Guatemala, and Colombia participate; and here we are looking forward to implement and test a new system for the emergency room, “said Dr. Matthew Kesinger
.” This software can write notes and patient information electronically; It is a possibility of adding information on users coming from trauma or surgery to the urgency and study more quickly. It is useful to analyze the statistics and other data. We believe it is better to know in updated form what is happening in this hospital unlike hospitals that use only papers in the consultations, it is best to advance the information, “said Mohini Dasari professional.
This program is intended to summarize all the information that doctors now write paper on patients from the moment of admission to the emergency room physician to discharge; also access the laboratory analysis, trends, directions, but in an electronic tablet.
“The first thing to do is adapt the scheme to the hospital, for example doctors here should remember other data unlike countries where this system is already implemented. Data collected from patients are not the same, then we are here also to customize the system to the hospital Clinics “added Dr. Kesinger.
For his part, he explained that the software developer” will allow select data on the patient with whom they will work, so that care is rapid and effective. This software provides all the basic and vital of patients to the attending doctor, as reports, laboratories, probabilities of life and serves to display statistics in the end, to keep track of patient information Hospital. We will adapt the software to the Hospital de Clinicas, but it should be noted that this software already implemented in South Africa a year ago, with very good results. “
About the plans they have for this new system, international specialists said they expect to implement this service in other departments of the hospital and operating room, medical clinic, among others.
To operate this software, a person is carrying data through an internet connection function effectively, in addition to work in conjunction with the IT department of the hospital.
The next step is to install printers, you need two that are connected to the tablet. Then proceed to customizing the data used here in the ER and enable all parties. No permanent internet connection required, but it is better to load and recall patient data, no limits on amount of data loading, since these will automatically cloud and managed through HubSpot (content management system ), then it is easier to work when you have a connection.
This system is very easy to know immediately and explain scientifically as professionals, on the conditions of patients. As doctors have little time, with this admission procedure and care it is faster, time is very important in emergency room saves; and emerges at the University of Vancouver and later doctors unite in medicine to perfect it.
The professional exchange, would be in our country a week to make explanations and teaching about the use of this system, but the visits will be constant, every two to three months for two years to see how people progress on this project.
About his stay and the reality of our hospital added that “we were all day in the room emergency, we noticed that is different from other countries and we believe that this system will help a lot, we have to see how long we will be able to teach and apply this system because it is a big change. The system is easy to use, but a big change always represents difficulties of any kind. Currently all doctors use paper and we want to see if it already can be changed and that everyone is using the system, then there are some things that together with doctors, interns, students must apply “.
important that everyone knows in the rooms that this system will save much valuable for physicians time, and all the staff working in the emergency.
Finally they added “we know that’s terrible to a new system that does not work so we need everyone’s help to make this work for the Hospital de Clinicas “
