RODRIGUEZ VAZQUEZ, Miguel; PEREZ RODRIGUEZ, Rubén e SANTIAGO PEREZ, Darío G.. Improvement genetics services to pregnant women and newborn by health informatic network SALGEN. RCIM [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.2, pp. 158-165. ISSN 1684-1859.
The Sancti Spíritus Provincial Medical Genetics Network has been using the Salgen informatics platform since 2009 for health care, administrative and research activities oconcerning pregnant mothers and newborns. The network uses the national Infomed backbone to provide real-time connection between community-based polyclinics in primary health care and the Provincial Medical Genetics Reference Center. Until September 2015 the platform has recorded 34 452 pregnant women and sequential clinical data on genetic risk assessment in early pregnancy, prenatal ultrasound, sickle cell anemia screening, alpha-fetoprotein levels, cytogenetic antenatal diagnosis, delivery and newborn characteristics, neonatal metabolic screening, and infant clinical assessment. The system makes health care results immediately available and provides 160 health alerts to enable timely preventive care for pregnant women. It also provides guidelines for processes and practices, and streamlines administrative and monitoring activities through statistical reports. The database generates indicators for assessing fetal growth and applies international standards for antenatal ultrasound quality control. Salgen can be use in any institution of primary health services, municipality or provinces of Cuba.
