COBIELLAS CARBALLO, Lázaro Ibrain; BONET CHACON, Linet; ANAZCO HERNANDEZ, Anabell  e  APONTE, José. Epi InfoTM in Health Information Systems for COVID-19. RCIM [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.1  Epub 01-Abr-2021. ISSN 1684-1859.

COVID-19 has unleashed an international Public Health emergency by affecting millions of people, causing deaths, and a humanitarian crisis never seen before. This has saturated the health information systems of the affected countries, where computer tools are useful for managing a large number of cases, at the lowest possible economic cost. In this context, the Epi InfoTM package of epidemiological programs which allows creating electronic forms for data collections, stands out in addition with modules to analyze the information through calculations and representations of epidemiological measures. It also allows creating maps of suspected or confirmed cases and has applications for mobile devices and web; all with proven experiences in epidemic situations such as Ebola, HIV, and the previous outbreaks of Coronavirus. Therefore, Epi InfoTM is a robust and free of cost application, very useful for its implementation in health information systems for the adequate management of COVID-19 cases.

Palavras-chave : COVID-19; health information systems; geographic information systems; epidemics.
