JOSEPH SMARTH, Dayana et al. AlasMEDIGEN v1.1 Computer system for Medical Genetics. RCIM [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.2, pp.195-206. ISSN 1684-1859.

In 2008, alasMediGen (Medical Genetics Computer System) was created. This system is aimed to collect the data obtained from the different genetic studies carried out at the National Center of Medical Genetics. It has seven modules that manage their businesses independently and share the same database: Cuban Register of Genetic Diseases, Cuban Register of Congenital Malformations, Cuban Register of Physical Disabilities, Cuban Register of Mental Deficiency, Cuban Register of Twins, Cuban Register of Clinical Records, Cuban Register of Chromosome Anomalies, Cuban Register of Common Diseases, and Teleconsultation. In 2009, the regulations stating that every computer system in Public Health must have an architecture oriented to the services were created; allowing the integration through web services. This paper is intended to describe the functionalities of the alasMediGen product in its 1.1 version as well as the web services provided by the Health Computerized System consumed by the system, allowing that the information managed in different studies of medical genetics to be reliable and centralized. This service oriented architecture speeds up the development of many scientific researches in the field of medical genetics and ensures data integrity.
