The creation of the electronic medical record at the 'Dr. Carlos Castellanos Blanco' Nursing Home benefits both the patient and the professional due to the security and confidence it provides.

Objective:

to develop the architecture for managing the information of medical records at the 'Dr. Carlos Castellanos Blanco' Nursing Home in Pinar del Río.

Methods:

the research is based on observation, interviews with those involved in the processes, and document review, incorporating technological innovation using Extreme Programming as the methodology for software analysis and design stages. Unified Modeling Language (UML) and StarUML are employed for artifact modeling, and Axure Rp is used to create the prototype of the computer application.

Results:

it allowed the analysis, management, and decision-making in all patient entry processes related to medical records in the nursing home.

Conclusions:
