The public health system of Costa Rica, reinvented the way to register its users and included a category to add to the entire Afro-descendant population living in the area, this with the objective of providing them with more specialized attention.<\/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 Unique Digital Health Record (EDUS)<\/strong> of Costa Rica, added an option within its system to include and organize all ethnic groups living in different regions of the area.<\/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

The variable \"ethnicity\", introduced by the Costa Rican Social Security Fund<\/strong>, will allow the design of strategies and treatments focused on the Afro-descendant population to focus their well-being on a set of efforts supported by technology and Digital Health.<\/p>

It is expected to cover the entire country with the public health system and, consequently, reduce the access gap by making it more equitable and available to anyone without exception.<\/p>

The intervention may be timely and with advanced quality thanks to the appropriate tools to determine epidemiological, therapeutic profiles, antecedents, radiological examinations, allergies and laboratory tests.<\/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

It should be remembered that the purpose of EDUS is to establish the necessary mechanisms of action for the development of planning, financing, provision of supplies and resources that make possible a complete and comprehensive system that plans the clinical history of each patient and is available in a way digital on from any platform, place and time.<\/p>

According to studies obtained by the Caja Costarricense, 11 thousand 200 people of Afro-descendant ethnicity are attached to EDUS and only 8 thousand 700 make use of this digital tool.<\/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<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
