The advantages of new technologies in the health sector

• One of the benefits of digitalisation is the electronic record, which allows several specialists to see the patient as a whole.

Santo Domingo: – Adopting new technologies in the health sector has the potential to optimise clinical records and achieve better coordination, quality and safety of care, as well as making knowledge more accessible and enabling new models of healthcare, explains the CEO of Arium Salud Digital, an international expert in health technology and business.

The advantages of digitalisation include greater control of administrative processes, shorter patient waiting times, fewer errors in handwritten invoices and orders, timely management of demand for services at the centre, less use of paper and efficient application of medical protocols.

For patients, the system improves the administration and monitoring of treatments, tracking of results, clarity about their health condition, and instant, live reporting. “Having a single electronic record makes it possible to see the patient as a whole, receive alerts for conditions, follow up on their medical visit and make communication with their caregivers easier,” says Vidal.

It also enables comprehensive care, collection of information in a single system that integrates all clinical and administrative areas under cross-cutting standards that unify data and information, and training for health professionals to improve the quality of care.

The expert stresses that these state-of-the-art health technologies are based on experience and success achieved in other countries, with the aim of creating effective interconnection between the different players in the health sector.

Vidal explains that their services are offered to many players in the country’s health system, highlighting the Diabetes, Obesity and Specialties Medical Centre (CEMDOE) as a successful implementation. “We have incorporated information systems with custom-built applications that have an impact on the quality of a care model centred on the patient’s experience and needs.”

“Thanks to an integrated system, CEMDOE handles authorisations and billing digitally, while medical records are kept more efficiently, making decision-making easier and reducing medical errors,” he explains.
