The Michoacán State Health Registration System has at least 2,000 offices registered with access to telemedicine services. In addition to remote consultations with specialists, they have an electronic clinical record that can be consulted over the internet.
For more than three years, the Michoacán government has implemented the Health Registration System (SRS), which is known as the Digital Health System. This system seeks the digitization of health services in the state, in addition through this system, public health services have been able to perform online consultation by connecting hospitals from different regions with specialist medical hospitals.
Currently, there are more than 2,000 practices in public health centers registered in THE SRS, which facilitates the creation of electronic clinical records, to facilitate access to patient medical information from different clinics and hospitals in the state.
“Health has been a permanent and impossible priority in your government, some results are workers' living wages, in Michoacán there are no precarious workers; equipped and dignified units; the conclusion of 46 works; hospitals with conversion for COVID and Digital Health, with more than 2,000 offices equipped for electronic clinical records; Telemedicine; and many more projects,” explained Diana Celia Carpio Ríos, Michoacán's Secretary of Health.
On the other hand, Governor Silvano Aureoles highlighted the benefits of implementing telemedicine services not only for the state but for the whole country. “It is a national platform not only for us, so that, if another state has this access to technology, the patient record served here can be reviewed anywhere in the country or the world, this is a very significant advance, there are more than 2,000 practices already connected to the Telemedicine system.”
Recently, the Penjamillo Health Center received an investment from the state government for its facilities, including the creation of three special telemedicine practices.
In order to follow-up with recent actions to digitize health services and access to public health, in September the Michoacán government announced that López Mateos Eva Sámano Children's Hospital would have remote consultations through digital means for cancer patients. On the other hand, Michoacán launched a digital health strategy in the face of the pandemic, which included a mobile application to follow up and consult patients suspected of COVID-19, expanding the offer of access to medical services through electronic means.
