Resumo: | Low-resource countries are primarily the ones afected by tropical diseases where environmental factors play a major role. Means for controlling these diseases are often lacking in these countries in part due to their poor support of Health Information Technology. Nowadays, with the advances of standards and software in the health-field, several open-source electronic health record systems (EHR) exist which can assist facilities to capture of information, aiding to research and better health-care of neglected diseases in these countries. In this work, we performed a systematic review of several of such solutions to select the most appropriate candidate to satisfy the requirements of a testbed in a low-resource country - Gondar in Ethiopia. The implementation was conducted with a strong focus on adapting the existing paper-based workflow of the institution to the proposed system, to assure that all the information generated in this center can be captured in a digital way. As a final result, a working prototype was deployed and some conclusions are obtained from all this process. |

No geral estes países não dispõem de métodos para controlar estas doenças eficazmente, em parte devido à fraca implementação de Tecnologias da Informação em Saúde. Atualmente, com o avanço em standards e software na área da saúde, existem diversos sistemas opensource de registos clínicos que podem auxiliar centros de cuidados médicos na captura de informação útil à melhoria dos serviços prestados e há investigação de doenças negligenciadas. Nesta dissertação efectuámos uma revisão sistemática de tais soluções de maneira a escolher um candidato apropriado aos requisitos de uma cama de teste de um país sub-desenvolvido - Gondar, Etiópia. A implementação foi conduzida com ênfase à adaptação do fluxo de trabalho baseado em papel da instituição para o sistema proposto, assegurando que toda a informação gerada pelo centro pode ser capturada de forma digital. Como resultado final, um protótipo foi criado e algumas conclusões obtidas de todo este processo.Universidade de Aveiro2017-09-15T09:10:19Z2016-01-01T00:00:00Z2016info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/18342engMalta, André Filipe Dominguesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T11:34:45Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/18342Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:53:04.276270Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
