SABINADIAZ, Yudith; TARAJANO ROSELLO, Antonio Obed; BEMBIBRE MOZO, Dayamí  and  SANCHEZ HERNANDEZ, Marcia María. Information integrity in the emergency statistics subsystem of "Manuel Ascunce Domenech" Provincial Hospital in Camagüey. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.4, pp. 373-388.

Objective: an evaluation study was conducted in the Department of Medical Records and Statistics of Manuel Ascunce Domenech Provincial Hospital in Camagüey during the year 2012, with the purpose of evaluating the integrity of the information stored in the emergency subsystem. Methods: determination of the level of efficacy was based on a survey given to doctors from the emergency service. The Innovative Power Balance Matrix was used as a management instrument. Results: integrity of the statistical information in the Emergency Service was evaluated as deficient, based on the results of the study. The considerable economic loss caused by the omission of diagnoses is evidence of the statistical inefficiency of the subsystem. It was found that weaknesses predominate over strengths, there is vulnerability to threats, and opportunities are hardly taken advantage of. Recommendations: it is recommended that the actions proposed are implemented, with a view to overcoming the present deficiencies.

Keywords : hospital medical records service; health service statistics; omissions in medical records; evaluation studies.
