VIDAL LEDO, María; RODRIGUEZ DIAZ, Alfredo; DELGADO RAMOS, Ariel  and  MANRIQUE GARCIA, Eduardo. Educational strategy for the formation of human resources in health information management. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2009, vol.35, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3127.

The need for the formation of human resources in health information management implies the availability of a useful educational strategy to these ends. The strategy followed by Cuba responds to the characteristics of the Cuban university, that is, scientific, technological, humanistic and socially compromised. On the basis of this model, an educational strategy was submitted, which takes into account the competencies and performance that the health care staff requires for information processing. The axes of formation, architecture and design characteristics were presented. The suggested strategy foresees the enabling processes at service, the basic or undergraduate formation, defines the various educational figures for upgrading, specialization and master's degree of these professionals; it is comprehensive and relevant and contributes to the formation of a broad profile graduate who is very competent in informatics, health statistics, scientific information and other branches. This educational strategy is implemented as part of the development of the health care sector and of the Cuban society, with wide political support, and finally it assures the required human resources for each work post as well as the integral informatics systems to attain suitable health information management.
