SIGHU: Automation of Urgency Service of the Hospital de Clínicas

This work proposes a solution to the problem of management automation in the Emergency Department of the Hospital de Clínicas of the National University of Asunción. This tool will generate benefits for both the patient and the hospital's target staff, since by computerizing the processes, which is still done manually, there will be more time to dedicate better care to the patient and doctors could spend part of their time analyzing the statistics and information, that can be generated through the application to carry out investigations in the emergency care area, as well as optimize the resources of both, the staff and the logistics used in the Hospital. To achieve the main objective of this work, an application based on international health standards has been developed, as well as good practices in the care processes in an extremely sensitive area such as the Emergency Department. With this application it is possible to innovate in the Emergency Department, given that after more than 100 years of history of the Hospital, for the first time it intends to automate processes and generate online information quickly and efficiently from this modern tool optimizing attention to patients in the emergency area.
