Sistema para la Integracion Automatica de Datos de Automonitoreo Glucemico a una Historia Clinica Electronica

摘要

The prevalence of Diabet es in Argentina is now reaching 9.6 % of total population. Self blood glucose monitoring is one of th em ost h elpful tools for d iabetes healthcare, mainly in Type I diabe tes patients an d Ty pe 2 diabetes p atients u nder in sulin treatmen t. We d escribe t he design, development and implementation of a computer system for the collection, analysis, interpretation and storage of all the patient's blood glue ose readings obtained by blood g lucose meters in the course of S elf Glucose Monitoring. The system has the capability to download data from the main models and brands of meters used in our market. It also has the chance to record all th is data in the patient's electronic medical record (EMR). We r esume our experience on building such a s ystem and s how that X ML-based infor matics standar ds like H L7-CDA and structured text file fo rmat t echnology for clinica 1 and biome dical r aw data r epresentation and storage (nativ e DB-XML), plus Web-based technologies such as Web Services (JAX-WS) are pow erful tools for agile and c ollaborative development of healthcare systems.
