Digital Clinical History advances in the province of Argentina

Deputies in the province of La Pampa, Argentina, are promoting laws that favor the implementation of telemedicine and Digital Medical Records.

The health minister of La Pampa, Mario Kohan, participated in a session with the Social Legislation Commission, to talk with deputies about telemedicine projects in the province. One of the objectives of the executive of La Pampa, is the regulation of the Provincial System of Unique Digital Clinical History and the Telemedicine System.

Minister Kohan highlighted the importance of having laws that regulate telemedicine, since it is an instrument that expands the rights of patients. "When I was summoned to start my job at the Ministry, we began to work with telemedicine, but now it is important that there is a law to strengthen this practice," he explained.

La Pampa is an extensive territory, which in turn has a low population density, which makes it difficult for specialized doctors to work in hospitals far from urban centers. That is why the application of telemedicine is important, to bring specialized medicine closer to the entire population and achieve a more equitable health system.

As for the digital medical record, the minister explained that it will not replace paper, since it is a process that will take place little by little. However, there are new hospitals that will not use paper for medical records, since these will start directly from digital.

On the other hand, the deputy Marín Balsa, explained that the digital clinical history: "allows a professional from the public or private sector to access all the information of that patient anywhere in the province." He also pointed out that this system will have different levels of access to information.
