RESUMEN
The aging of the population and the increase in chronic diseases generated the need for care at home for pluripathological patients, who can no longer access outpatient care due to functional and social problems. The use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) improves continuity of care, simplifies data collection, decreases overhead costs, and reduces mortality in chronically ill patients. The use of an App to check and record data in the EMR during the home visit saves time for professionals and helps to avoid transcription errors. This article shares our experience with the design and implementation of a Mobile Application with EMR functionalities for the Homecare setting of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires network.

Correct patient identification is the cornerstone for the proper implementation of electronic health records. Up to 20% of the registered patients are duplicated in most systems. Strong identification policies and robust systems can minimize such errors. In this poster we share the Ministry of Health recommendations for the Master Patient Index improvement using search algorithms.

The Ministry of Health (MoH) set the National Digital Health Strategy 2018-2024 as a state policy. It included a National TeleHealth Plan to enhance access and quality of healthcare in a wide territory like Argentina, leveraging more than 20 years of national telemedicine experiences and coordinating it with the territorial integrated health service networks proposed by the Universal Health Coverage strategy. In collaboration with the Ministry of Modernisation, the MoH developed and implemented a new TeleHealth Web Platform to perform eReferrals and eConsultations nationwide. This poster describes the first 2 months of usage.
