Aplicación web para la gestión de historias clínicas odontológicas con odontograma geométrico digital en la Clínica Saúde Medical Group del cantón Pelileo

Abstract

Nowadays, the digitization of healthcare has brought about a radical change in the delivery of health services. In the dentistry field, the effective management of medical records is crucial to ensure quality care that generates patient satisfaction. The main objective of the project is to implement a web application for managing dental records with a digital geometric odontogram at the Saúde Medical Group clinic in the Pelileo canton. The key aspects of the project center around the control of medical records, standardizing the odontogram, and the digitalization of the budget, as well its sending and reception. Techniques such as: interview, survey and observation sheet have been applied to identify the drawbacks and requirements of the system. A hybrid methodology that merges RAD and Kanban practices is adopted for the development of the application. This combination has facilitated rapid construction, constant feedback with the final user, efficient flow management and task prioritization; supported by technologies for instance the fullstack framework Laravel and the MariaDB database. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has reflected that end users are satisfied in terms of the usability and ease of use offered by the web application. Therefore, the implementation of the web application has succeeded in satisfying the client's demands, optimizing the dental records management processes with digital dental chart.
