Attendance and Certification Modules in the Management System for Tele-education of the Telehealth Center - HUUFMA

The Telehealth Brazil Networks Programme is a national action that seeks to improve the quality of care and primary care in the Unified Health System (SUS), which offers conditions to promote Tele-assistance and Tele-education. One of the major areas, Tele-education, is based on the use of information technologies to provide web conferences, courses, and classes. Due to the limitation of the broadcasting platforms to track the detailed users’ information, it was necessary to the Telehealth Center of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Maranhão (HUUFMA) the development of a web system to automatically gather this data. The current release of the system enables users to register in web conferences activities, and the information such as professional area, location, personal info are stored, so the system can track all the activities the user has participated and then automatically generate certificates at any time after the end of the activity

Application Tool for Improvement of the Metrics of Unread and Unevaluated Teleconsultations of the Telehealth Center - HUUFMA

The Brazil Telehealth Networks Programme is a project that contributes to the quality of services provided by the Unified Health System (SUS), which offers conditions to promote Tele-assistance and Tele-education.

The process of a teleconsultation starts with a question on the online platform and finishes with the response sent by a qualified health professional. Previously, monitoring of this task was done by using a digital spreadsheet. It was necessary to develop an application to monitor and manage the inactivated and unevaluated teleconsultations. Before the development of the system, the Telehealth Centre had around 25% of teleconsultations that were not responded to, and this number has decreased significantly since its deployment
