Information Management System For Monitoring And Alerting Positive Cases Of Neonatal Screening

Abstract

Customized software offers tailored functionality and precisely meets information needs. Its benefits result in a more comfortable and more widely used work platform, widely used in health services. The objective of the research is to develop an information management system for analysis, monitoring and alert, for the monitoring and early treatment of cases of neonatal screening for metabolic diseases, of the Social Security Fund of Panama. For this, an application was developed on a framework model based on open LAMP software, favored with usage statistics, regular improvements, security updates, data encryption and performance guarantee on the server. The system provides alerts and information, which guarantees that its users access it from any point. The software has processed more than 3,000 cases, whose centralized analysis ensures control of the quality of work and expeditious access to statistics, and has an alert and monitoring system to formulate timely health actions, making better use of the health protocol. specialized care. This allows access to information from decentralized laboratories throughout the country, improves data collection and allows secure, agile and timely notification of results at all levels. The platform, by generating alerts, contributes to guaranteeing the efficient execution of the neonatal screening program, as it reduces the waiting time for patients to start treatment and rehabilitation early, which also makes it a learning and development.
