Uruguay is one of the countries in the region that has made the greatest progress in digital transformation in health<\/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 digital transformation strategy of the health system in Uruguay began to take shape more than 15 years ago. A health reform in 2007 promoted the creation of the National Integrated Health System (SNIS), which in turn promoted the implementation of the Salud.uy strategy in 2012. Through Salud.uy it was possible to define the standards and guidelines for creation of the National Electronic Clinical Record (HCEN), one of the greatest achievements in Digital Health achieved in Uruguay in recent years.<\/p>

With the support of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), a delegation of officials from the Ministry of Health of El Salvador (MINSAL) visited Uruguay from June 6 to 8. The purpose of the visit was to learn about the advances in Digital Health achieved by Uruguay.<\/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

\u201cUruguay takes more advanced steps in relation to many countries in the region<\/a> and for us it is important to accompany this delegation from El Salvador to see what the potentialities and limitations are that they had in this implementation agenda and to mark the critical routes within El Salvador to be able to advance and obtain results such as those that Uruguay has\u201d, he explained. \u00c1ngel Manuel \u00c1lvarez, Communicable Diseases and Immunization consultant at PAHO headquarters in El Salvador.<\/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

Ricardo Ruano, director of Health Technologies of the MINSAL, I can learn about various projects such as the HCEN; the teleultrasonography project of the State Health Services Administration (ASSE) at the Pereira Rossell Hospital Center, which offers remote pediatric and prenatal care; o The National Information Node for Mammography of the National Cancer Institute; among others.<\/p>

On the other hand, members of the delegation from El Salvador and PAHO recognized the advances in telemedicine, and were able to learn about the telecare process and how queries are answered. In this sense, \u00d3scar Gianneo, advisor to the General Directorate of Health of the Ministry of Public Health (MSP) of Uruguay, explained that the telemedicine law was promoted during the pandemic, which was key to the adoption of this care modality.<\/p>

El Salvador, for its part, has advanced little by little, in 2020 it began to promote the electronic clinical file, and to provide connectivity to first-level health centers. Likewise, one of its most recent achievements was obtaining an accreditation from the European Commission in its digital certificate of vaccination against COVID-19.<\/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 es uno de los pa\u00edses de la regi\u00f3n que han logrado un mayor avance en transformaci\u00f3n digital en salud La estrategia de transformaci\u00f3n digital del sistema de salud en Uruguay, comenz\u00f3 a gestarse hace m\u00e1s de 15 a\u00f1os.

Por otra parte, miembros de la delegaci\u00f3n de El Salvador y la OPS, reconocieron los avances en materia de telemedicina, y pudieron conocer el proceso de teleasistencia y c\u00f3mo se responden las consultas. En este sentido \u00d3scar Gianneo, asesor de la Direcci\u00f3n General de la Salud del Ministerio de Salud P\u00fablica (MSP) de Uruguay, explic\u00f3 que la ley de telemedicina fue impulsada durante la pandemia, lo que fue clave para la adopci\u00f3n de esta modalidad de atenci\u00f3n. El Salvador por su parte ha avanzado poco a poco, en 2020 comenz\u00f3 a potenciar el expediente cl\u00ednico electr\u00f3nico, y a dotar de conectividad a centros de salud del primer nivel de atenci\u00f3n. Asimismo, uno de sus logros m\u00e1s recientes fue la obtenci\u00f3n de una acreditaci\u00f3n de la Comisi\u00f3n Europea en su certificado digital de vacunaci\u00f3n contra COVID-19.
