academia, professionals, citizens, etc.).<\/li><li>Have a team of professionals specialized in digital health with clear objectives.<\/li><li>Develop a strategy that converts the national vision into an implementation plan as a state policy, aligned with the country&#039;s health system.<\/li><li>Approve the necessary regulations so that the technological tools can be used and the applicable model.<\/li><li>Accompany the ecosystem with knowledge, workshops, artifacts as public goods, collective construction of documentation to carry out their own digital transformation processes in organizations.<\/li><li>Think and create an incentive scheme that pushes suppliers to make the necessary investments (economic incentives, legal obligations, penalties, etc.).<\/li><li>Generate early victories, as part of the strategy of long transformation processes and deploy a national architecture that supports future processes.<\/li><li>Invest in continuous monitoring of progress, for example through recurring surveys.<\/li><li>Remember the human factor, both people who are involved in the digital transformation of the sector, and citizens in general must be accompanied through change management plans.<\/li><\/ol>\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<section class=\"elementor-section

Gobierno de Uruguay ha desarrollado poco a poco su propio ecosistema digital en salud durante los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os a trav\u00e9s de la estrategia Salud.uy. A finales del 2012, el gobierno de Uruguay present\u00f3 la estrategia Salud.uy, para promover el fortalecimiento y uso de tecnolog\u00edas de la informaci\u00f3n en el sector salud. Se trata de una iniciativa conjunta entre la Presidencia de la Rep\u00fablica, el Ministerio de Salud P\u00fablica (MSP), el Ministerio de Econom\u00eda y Finanzas (MEF) y la Agencia de Gobierno Electr\u00f3nico y Sociedad de la Informaci\u00f3n y del Conocimiento (Agesic). A ra\u00edz del programa de Salud.uy el gobierno ha definido est\u00e1ndares y lineamientos de inform\u00e1tica m\u00e9dica y regulaciones sobre salud digital. Esto ha permitido la creaci\u00f3n de la Historia Cl\u00ednica Electr\u00f3nica Nacional (HCEN), que forma parte del Sistema Nacional Integrado de Salud (SNIS). Tras casi diez a\u00f1os de su implementaci\u00f3n Salud.uy, cuenta con un equipo de especialistas de inform\u00e1tica m\u00e9dica y grupos de trabajo multidisciplinarios, que se encargan de la generaci\u00f3n de estos reglamentos y lineamientos. El HCEN es sin duda el proyecto insignia de Salud.uy, lo que ha sido la entrada para la implementaci\u00f3n de nuevos proyectos y est\u00e1ndares en el sector salud. Por ejemplo, a trav\u00e9s del sitio MiHCD, la poblaci\u00f3n puede acceder a toda su informaci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica, sin importar si incluye datos de diversos establecimientos. Pablo Orefice, ex director de la iniciativa Salud.uy, y Luis Tejerina, ecualiza l\u00edder en la Divisi\u00f3n de Protecci\u00f3n Social y Salud del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID), detallaron la importancia que tuvo el HCEN en la lucha contra el COVID-19, ya que la infraestructura y el ecosistema digital se encontraban listos para compartir informaci\u00f3n entre establecimientos de salud y profesionales m\u00e9dicos. \u201cFue posible compartir informaci\u00f3n, por ejemplo, de tests de laboratorio o camas disponibles a trav\u00e9s de la misma infraestructura utilizada para la HCEN\u201d, explican los especialistas. Asimismo, Tejerina y Orefice publicaron un estudio de caso de la HCEN a trav\u00e9s de Social Digital, iniciativa del BID, para la transformaci\u00f3n de los servicios sociales. Disponible en el siguiente enlace: https:\/\/socialdigital.iadb.org\/es\/sph\/resources\/investigaciones-y-publicaciones\/19112 En este sentido, compartieron diez consejos sobre transformaci\u00f3n digital en salud, tomando como referencia el proyecto de Salud.uy: Ubicar siempre al paciente en el centro del dise\u00f1o, dando \u00e9nfasis a la equidad. Construir una visi\u00f3n de lo que se quiere lograr con todos y para todos los actores del sistema (sector p\u00fablico y privado, academia, profesionales, ciudadanos, etc.). Tener un equipo de profesionales especializados en salud digital con objetivos claros. Desarrollar una estrategia que convierta la visi\u00f3n nacional en un plan de implementaci\u00f3n como pol\u00edtica de estado, alineada al sistema de salud del pa\u00eds. Aprobar la normativa necesaria para que las herramientas tecnol\u00f3gicas puedan ser utilizadas y el modelo aplicable. Acompa\u00f1ar al ecosistema con conocimiento, talleres, artefactos como bienes p\u00fablicos, construcci\u00f3n colectiva de documentaci\u00f3n para llevar adelante sus propios procesos de transformaci\u00f3n digital en las organizacionales. Pensar y crear un esquema de incentivos que empuje a los proveedores a realizar las inversiones necesarias (incentivos econ\u00f3micos, obligaciones legales, penalidades, etc.). Generar victorias tempranas, como parte de la estrategia de los procesos largos de transformaci\u00f3n y desplegar una arquitectura nacional que de soporte a futuros procesos. Invertir en monitoreo continuo del progreso, por ejemplo, a trav\u00e9s de encuestas recurrentes. Recordar el factor humano, tanto las personas que est\u00e9n involucradas en la transformaci\u00f3n digital del sector, como los ciudadanos en general deben ser acompa\u00f1adas a trav\u00e9s de planes de gesti\u00f3n del cambio.
