\u201cThe government needed to organize demand and optimize health services, avoiding crowding in health care facilities, trying to avoid face-to-face care as much as possible and decongesting telephone communication channels,\u201d he explained.<\/p>

The advancement of Digital Health in Uruguay, showed its effectiveness this year 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering technology at the service of the population. \u201cJust as people did in the face of the implementation of digital medical history at the country level, public and private health service providers acted together, making information converge in a common center,\u201d Orefice concluded.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Uruguay implement\u00f3 una serie de estrategias digitales que involucr\u00f3 a diferentes ministerios y dependencias p\u00fablicas de salud y de gobernanza, que adem\u00e1s promovieron la colaboraci\u00f3n entre el sector p\u00fablico y privado. Salud.uy la iniciativa del Ministerio de Salud P\u00fablica y el Ministerio de Econom\u00eda y Finanzas, en colaboraci\u00f3n con la Agencia de gobierno Electr\u00f3nico y sociedad de la Informaci\u00f3n y del Conocimiento (Agesic), crearon una estrategia digital para la gesti\u00f3n de la pandemia en el pa\u00eds sudamericano. Primero desarrollaron nuevos canales digitales de comunicaci\u00f3n, como el asistente virtual basado en web que fue integrado a las paginas Estatales del gobierno uruguayo. Posteriormente fue actualizado y lanzaron una versi\u00f3n para WhatsApp y Messenger de Facebook. Adicional a los chatbot, se lanz\u00f3 la app Coronavirus UY, que conjuntamente forman una estrategia integral que busca mejorar el apoyo y la atenci\u00f3n medica durante la pandemia. En entrevista con Revista Salud Digital Latinoam\u00e9rica, Pablo Orefice, director de Salud.uy, mencion\u00f3 que la estrategia digital logra: realizar una atenci\u00f3n adecuada a casos sospechosos, organiza la demanda seg\u00fan los criterios sanitarios y optimiza los servicios sanitarios de asistencia a la poblaci\u00f3n. Orefice, mencion\u00f3 que la aplicaci\u00f3n de herramientas digitales \u201cmejora la calidad de atenci\u00f3n de las personas y protege al personal de salud en el contacto con posibles vectores de la infecci\u00f3n\u201d. Adem\u00e1s, el gobierno uruguayo tambi\u00e9n desarroll\u00f3 una herramienta tecnol\u00f3gica para conocer la disponibilidad de camas y ventiladores en centros de salud, as\u00ed como el personal disponible en servicios de internaci\u00f3n, cuidados moderados y cuidados intensivos. \u201cEl gobierno necesitaba organizar la demanda y optimizar los servicios de salud, evitando aglomeraci\u00f3n en los centros de atenci\u00f3n de salud, tratando de evitar la atenci\u00f3n cara a cara lo m\u00e1s posible y descongestionando los canales de comunicaci\u00f3n telef\u00f3nica\u201d, explic\u00f3. El avance de la Salud Digital en Uruguay, mostr\u00f3 su efectividad este a\u00f1o 2020, durante la pandemia de COVID-19 ofreciendo la tecnolog\u00eda al servicio de la poblaci\u00f3n. \u201cDe la misma manera que poblaci\u00f3n lo hicieron frente a la implementaci\u00f3n de la historia cl\u00ednica digital a nivel pa\u00eds, los prestadores de servicios de salud p\u00fablicos y privados, actuaron de forma conjunta, haciendo que la informaci\u00f3n converja en un centro com\u00fan\u201d, concluy\u00f3 Orefice.
