DELGADO RAMOS, Ariel et al. Impact of the national geographical codifiers in the National System of Health. RCIM [online]. 2012, vol.4, n.2, pp. 221-235. ISSN 1684-1859.

As part of the process of computerization of the National Health System (NHS) in Cuba there is the need for an IT solution at the lowest cost for the management of health information. The solution must be efficient to allow authorized users to combine information from different modules in the system for Health Information (SISalud) and must be deployed centrally for access from any level of the NHS. To share information with other systems, the Computerized Health Record (RIS) follows a service-oriented architecture and component-based, being part of SISalud structure. Currently available as components of the RIS are geographic nomenclatures, uniformly managing information on the Register of Geographical Location, the Locations Registry and the Registry of the Health Areas, incorporating the strength of the processes defined in the NHS and respecting formal procedures to ensure the confidentiality of health information. We discuss the impact on the sector computerization process from the pilot stage. The RIS project contributes to a national objective and results are generalized throughout the country, producing changes in the management of health units.
