A technological innovation study was conducted in the University of Medical Sciences in Camaguey province from September 2012 through May 2013. The objective was to re-design the automated system for the control of educational records of the resident physicians. To this end, the specialists working at the admission office were surveyed to determine the existing difficulties with the present databases. Then the entities, consultations and reports to be added were designed. The Erwin/Studio was used for the redesigning. Microsoft Access was used for the managing system of databases. The final databases responded to the detected requirements. Its structure was implemented by interfaces allowing the corresponding information management. Testing and evaluation phase of the software yielded positive outcomes. It is recommended to evaluate the software according to experts' criteria with a view to generalizing the results.
