Lleva a cabo la informatizacion del Sistema Nacional de Salud, desarrollando el Sistema de Informacion para la Salud (SISalud), sistema formado por componentes con un nivel de cohesion y acoplamiento que permite integrar las aplicaciones informaticas para la salud, interactuar entre ellas y reutilizar la informacion de manera eficiente; almacenada en bases de datos independientes, soportadas sobre un servidor MySQL y comunicandose entre si mediante Servicios Web, basados en XML y arquitectura en 3 capas. Esto le ofrece al usuario final una vision integrada de los datos para ser usados por distintos niveles de direccion, docencia, investigacion y gestion de salud, lo que garantiza la gestion, en tiempo real y con alcance nacional, de los datos generales de los ciudadanos cubanos y el capital humano en Unidades de Salud. Palabras Claves: Proceso, Inf...

Este Sistema tiene como objetivo estandarizar la arquitectura e integrar todas las aplicaciones que lo conforman. Siendo el Grupo de Gestion de Integracion de Soluciones (GIS), perteneciente a la Empresa Productora de Software para la Tecnica Electronica (SOFTEL), del Ministerio de las Comunicaciones (MINCOM), el encargado de brindar soporte tecnologico para lograr la integracion de las aplicaciones para la salud. Para alcanzarla, GIS define el Proceso de Especificacion y Verificacion para la Gestion de la Integracion. Como todo proceso, existen documentos de entrada y salida en sus actividades, definiendo diferentes plantillas que deben ser utilizadas. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo describir cada documento y plantilla que se usa en el proceso, asi como su utilizacion practica en el mismo,...

The use of this component contributes to save many lives but it can also become a potential risk to health when it is not subjected to a strict quality control; so it is necessary to have a highly reliable quality control that guarantees the quality of the released blood. Objectives: to build up an instrument that allows the evaluation of the implementation process of a computer system for the blood bank network of the country. Methods: an instrument that allowed to evaluate, according to prestablished dimensions, the implementation of the computer application in the blood bank national network was built up. The evaluation was carried out in 48 blood banks in the country. The study was done in two phases. The first one was implemented by a descriptive exploratory design and the second consisted on the application of the instrument 6 and 12 months after the implementation of the system in the blood bank national network of the country. A detailed bibliographic review and consultation to national experts was carried out. The general aspects about the functioning, organization and acceptability by the health personnel were also studied. Results: a progressive improvement between the six months and the year of the implementation in relation to usefulness, capacity for self-recovery and general effectiveness of the system was shown. it was also evidenced that its implementation generated organizational changes. Conclusions: the system is accepted by users, dimension that increases a year after its implementation.

The objective is to provide the National System of Health with reliable, consistent and opportune information for the decision making, through the good use of technologies and the integration with the global infrastructure of the information. In order to this, the National Headquarter of Computer Science of MINSAP defines that the Group of Integration of Solutions (GIS), which belongs to the company SOFTEL, has to offer technological support to guarantee the integration of the applications that bring computer solutions for the health. As a support tool, the Catalog is implemented for the generation of diagrams of components of the System of Information for the Health (SISalud). In the process of development of the computer applications for the health, the

The solution must be efficient to allow authorized users to combine information from different modules in the system for Health Information (SISalud) and must be deployed centrally for access from any level of the NHS. To share information with other systems, the Computerized Health Record (RIS) follows a service-oriented architecture and component-based, being part of SISalud structure. Currently available as components of the RIS are geographic nomenclatures, uniformly managing information on the Register of Geographical Location, the Locations Registry and the Registry of the Health Areas, incorporating the strength of the processes defined in the NHS and respecting formal procedures to ensure the confidentiality of health information. We discuss the impact on the sector computerization process from...

In a previous study on this outbreak, the role of LTR in tropism was unclear and env encoded sequences, likely involved in tropism, were not investigated. This study aimed to analyze heterogeneity of SRLV Env regions - TM amino terminal and SU V4, C4 and V5 segments - in order to assess virus compartmentalization in CNS. Results Eight Visna (neurologically) affected sheep of the outbreak were used. Of the 350 clones obtained after PCR amplification, 142 corresponded to CNS samples (spinal cord and choroid plexus) and the remaining to mammary gland, blood cells, bronchoalveolar lavage cells and/or lung. The diversity of the env sequences from CNS was 11.1-16.1% between animals and 0.35-11.6% within each animal, except in one animal presenting two sequence types (30% diversity) i...
