Abstract

The problems of the Colombian health sector are diverse and have unique features. These problems can be of different types showing lack of health services coverage, deep economic crisis of national health institutions as well as their managerial insufficiency. In 2004, the Department of Sciences, Technology and Innovation launched the 675 Call which looked for the strengthening of ICT innovation nodes in public health institutions and it was under this call that a project was made to solve one of these problems such as accessing information contained in the clinical histories of Colombian patients in a unified and fast way. This article aims at describing a solution which suggests the implementation of a mobile and web app toconsult primary medical information of patients in emergency by using their identity card number to accessit, thus guaranteeing organizational efficiency.
