Officials from the Health Information System (HIS) of Paraguay presented the progress of teleconsultation in the country during the 44th World Congress of Hospitals, held in Barcelona.<\/h2>\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

The HIS is a technological tool implemented in 2019 by the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare (MSPBS) of Paraguay with the support of the government of the Republic of China. This tool allows the management of patient data, medications, medical records in health establishments, teleconsultation care, among other utilities. At the end of 2020, 55 health establishments had this system, which made it possible to serve more than 1,150,000 people in that year.<\/p>

Also in 2020, it was implemented in seven third-level hospitals and two second-level hospitals exclusively to implement the teleconsultation model. The progress of teleconsultations in the country was a topic at the 44th World Congress of Hospitals, where representatives of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the National University of Asunci\u00f3n (FCM-UNA) and the HIS project, exposed the importance of teleconsultation in Paraguay during the pandemic.<\/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

At the beginning of 2021, the MSPBS reported that there were 2,258 users trained in the use of HIS in health facilities. This allowed more than 27 thousand teleconsultations to be carried out in 2020.<\/p>

Given the drop in the number of consultations, remote consultation services were key. It was not only important for medical care, but also to streamline other services such as the collection of medications in the hospital, appointment scheduling, among others.<\/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

Project progress<\/strong><\/p>

Currently there are more than 60 establishments that make up this project. Health centers are classified into regional hospitals, specialized hospitals, district hospitals, health centers, Family Health units and other establishments.<\/p>

On the other hand, the HIS generates specific information on various departments of the hospital, for example, in emergencies, the system shows a traffic light-type classification of the degrees of urgency of each patient they receive. The system includes information such as admission data, pre-consultation and the procedures to be performed in the hospital. In addition, regarding hospitalized patients, the HIS shows statistical data on pathologies and records the use of medications and their doses.<\/p>

This project has promoted digitalization in Paraguay, and the improvement of the quality of assistance. In addition, as it is a computer system, it seeks transparency and efficiency to transform the country's health system.<\/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

Funcionarios del Sistema Inform\u00e1tico en Salud (HIS, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), de Paraguay, expusieron el avance de la teleconsulta en el pa\u00eds durante el 44\u00b0 Congreso Mundial de Hospitales, realizado en Barcelona. El HIS es una herramienta tecnol\u00f3gica implementada en 2019 por el Ministerio de Salud P\u00fablica y Bienestar Social (MSPBS) de Paraguay con el apoyo del gobierno de la Rep\u00fablica de China. Esta herramienta permite la gesti\u00f3n de datos de pacientes, medicamentos, registros m\u00e9dicos en los establecimientos de salud, atenci\u00f3n por teleconsulta, entre otras utilidades. A finales de 2020, 55 establecimientos de salud contaban con este sistema, lo que permiti\u00f3 atender a m\u00e1s de 1 mill\u00f3n 150 mil personas en ese a\u00f1o. Tambi\u00e9n en 2020, fue implementado en siete hospitales de tercer nivel y dos de segundo nivel exclusivamente para implementar el modelo de teleconsultas. El avance de las teleconsultas en el pa\u00eds fue tema en el 44\u00b0 Congreso Mundial de Hospitales, donde representantes de la Facultad de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas de la Universidad Nacional de Asunci\u00f3n (FCM-UNA) y del proyecto HIS, expusieron la importancia de la teleconsulta en Paraguay durante la pandemia. A inicios de 2021, el MSPBS, inform\u00f3 que sumaron 2 mil 258 usuarios capacitados para el uso de HIS en establecimientos de salud. Esto permiti\u00f3 que se realizar\u00e1n m\u00e1s de 27 mil teleconsultas en 2020. Ante la baja en el n\u00famero de consultas los servicios de consultas a distancia fueron clave. No solo fue importante para la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica sino para agilizar otros servicios como el retiro de medicamentos en el hospital, agenda de citas, entre otros. Avance del proyecto Actualmente ya son m\u00e1s de 60 establecimientos que integran este proyecto. Los centros de salud se clasifican en hospitales regionales, hospitales especializados, hospitales distritales, centros de salud, unidades de Salud de la Familia y otros establecimientos. Por otra parte, el HIS genera informaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica sobre diversos departamentos del hospital, por ejemplo, en urgencias, el sistema muestra una clasificaci\u00f3n tipo sem\u00e1foro de los grados de urgencia de cada paciente que reciben. El sistema incluye informaci\u00f3n como datos de admisi\u00f3n, preconsulta y los procedimientos que se van a realizar en el hospital.  Adem\u00e1s, en cuanto a paciente internados, el HIS muestra datos estad\u00edsticos de patolog\u00edas y registra el uso de medicamentos y sus dosis. Este proyecto ha promovido la digitalizaci\u00f3n en Paraguay, y el mejoramiento de la calidad de la asistencia. Adem\u00e1s, al tratarse de un sistema inform\u00e1tico busca la transparencia y la eficacia para transformar el sistema de salud del pa\u00eds.
