The Dr. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna hospital advances in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), with the aim of raising the quality of medical care.

Las Tunas, Cuba.-Erián Cartaya Peña, head of the Department of Information Technology and Communications, explains to 26Newspaper that this project includes the modernization of servers and cabling, to cover the areas of external consultation and hospitalization.
"Almost half of the services have wireless link technology and a hybrid network with cable and Wi-Fi is mounted. The intention is that doctors can see from any place in the center - through tablets, computers or personal telephones - the X-ray images of the Central X-ray Department and the Emergency Room. "
He clarifies that the departments of Economics and Statistics have been automated. "Today we have the Galen Clínica software for the statistical part and other systems that support tomography, accounting and digital radiography."
The hospital already has Internet access for staff members who are in professional development.The external consultation area does not have the technology. However, doctors have access to the network via wireless to some services such as Orthopedics, for the follow-up of patients operated with hip fracture and other ailments.
Cartaya said "the aspiration is to computerize this care institution completely and place a desktop machine by service and room with a printer to access the digital medical record. This process is at the country level and aims to digitize the patient's medical records, facilitating access to the doctor from any medical facility in the country. "
The revitalization of the Information area, to be executed soon, is aimed at bringing the link there by optical fiber. That way they can check the intranet to provide the data to families about the status of their loved ones.
"All this project is aimed at offering useful tools to the medical community of the center to make the best decisions with very sick and not sick patients, this means a higher quality of benefits."
