RISalud-ANDALUCIA, the institutional repository of the public health system of Andalusia

Introduction: The Andalusian Public Health System is made up of a public care network that has 63 hospitals, 1,500 primary care centers, 5 health research institutes, and other non-care public entities, mainly management and training institutions. RISalud-ANDALUCIA, the Institutional Repository of the Andalusian Public Health System is a unique and open space where the intellectual and scientific production generated by the professionals of the Andalusian Public Health System is gathered, as a result of their assistance, research and management activity. Objective: Development of a new version of RISalud-ANDALUCIA which implies a new software upgrade and functional improvement. Methodology RISalud-ANDALUCIA, was launched in February 2013. In 2022, the Andalusian Public Health Library, BV-SSPA (its administrator), started a project to develop it and migrate to a new version of DSpace. This project meant a big challenge due to the wide network of centers and institutions, and the large number of activities that needed to be carried out: 4. Identification of research, institutional output from 2016 to 2022 5. Bulk upload 6. Migration to DSpace 7.3 7. Functionalities for Datasets 8. New organization in three big communities 9. Connection with other structures and platforms 10. Incorporation of new COAR vocabulary and terms 11. New corporate image Results: Once all these functionalities are implemented, RISalud-ANDALUCIA will be the platform where the research and institutional open access output of more than 100,000 health professionals will be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. We estimate that would be possible by the end of October 2023
