Some Facts about Brazil • 5th Largest Economy in the World (2010 ) • 190 million Inhabitants • 5th Largest Country in the World, Larger than Continental USA • It is a Country of Huge Contrasts: • some top quality institutions and • a very bad income distribution, though improving • 74 M Internet users today, some 48 M with broadband access • 27% of houses have Internet access in 2010 (http://www.cetic.br/) • e-Business: • 5th largest market in e-business • U$15Bi in e-commerce in 2009 • 95% of IRS Tax Return Forms on the Web • National Voting System is 100% Electronic • More than 100 million voters • Recent national election results in less than 12 hours
SUS – The Brazilian National Health System • Universal Access • Health is a Right of All (~ 150M individuals rely on SUS) • Full Coverage, Free of Charge • All Services and Procedures • SUS principles: • Equity, Universality and Integrality • Funding and Management are Shared Across Levels • Federal, State and Municipal Levels • Private Health Plans for Those Willing to Pay • ~ 1,200 HMOs (cover ~ 50M individuals) • ANS (Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar) regulates the sector
Health Information Systems in Brazil • Health Information Systems have been used in the Public Sector since the 1970s • A huge collection of Public Health data is available from the Department of Health, on www.datasus.gov.br • As in many other places, vertical applications were the focus, leading to literally more than 250 siloed systems, such as HIV, Prenatal and Child Care, TB, Diabetes and others • Lack of national standards started to be reverted by two major projects at the end of the XX Century: • The National Health Card Project defined unique identifiers for individuals (including HC workers), and • The National Registry of HC Organizations and HC workers registry defined unique identifiers and the relationships among workers, equipment and organizations
SIGA SaúdeSão Paulo City’s Health Information System Special thanks to Heloisa Helena Andreetta Corral Informatics Advisor SMS-SP And Maria Aparecida Orsini, MD Director Paulistana Mother Program
SIGA Saúde São Paulo is the largest city in South America, with 12M inhabitants and some 22M in the Metropolitan Area. SIGA Saúde is São Paulo City’s Integrated and Distributed System for Managing the Public Healthcare System. The system belongs to São Paulo City, which is willing to share it with other cities, states and countries. SIGA Saúde has beendeveloped usingfree-software open-code concepts. SIGA Saúde is present in 100% (704) of São Paulo City public health care providers
Before SIGA Saúde • Access to health services was difficult: long waiting lines for specialized procedures and consultations • No integration among health care providers • No control of medication distribution • Very little information for health care management
Volumes per HC Region in the City East Region 15 million patients in the database NorthRegion Population: 2,396,940 Southeast Region Population:2,136,977 South Region CenterEast Region Population:2,499,294 Population:2,402,093 Population: 1,244,456
SIGA Saúde Building Blocks • Identifying Patients • Based on Unique Nation-Wide Patient Identifier • Captures Encounter Data Set • On-line Access to Patient Information • National Registry of HC Units and Workers • Unique Nation-wide Identifiers: • Healthcare Workers, Units & Medical Equipment • Relationships Among Them
SIGA Functionalities • Registries: Persons, HC professionals, HC facilities, Families, CHW • Scheduling: local and reffered • Primary Care: Child and Maternal Health, FHP, Immunizations, Chronic Diseases, Oral Health • Specialized Care: Authorization Higgh Cost Complex Procedures • Real Time Surveillance • Patient flow – referral / counter referral • Encounter Information -> mandatory notifications • Medication • Lab Orders and Results • Reports on the BI tool

Using SIGA Saúde and a BI tool the program: Monitors all pregnancies within the public system, Establishes the referrals to hospitals and emergencies, Hihg risk prenancies ate treated separately by special alerts in the system Guarantees the bed allocation for deliveries Follows-up mother and child till the baby is one year old Recharge of the transport card at each prenatal visit Provides counseling on breast feeding and baby care, and A full layette for the baby at delivery Paulistana Mother
Paulistana Mother Results • Free access to all pregnant women • Registration done in any of the 409 primary care units • 36 hospitals • 25 specialized outpatients clinics • 80 thousand pts in the program • 10 thousand deliveries / month • 74% of pts with 7 or more prenatal consultations
SIGA Saúde: Who else has it? (June, 2010) • São Paulo City • 7800 health care providers • Focus on Patient Flow, Medication, Paulistana Mother • São Paulo State • 28 Cities share the system for Hemodialysis and Hemophilia • Camaçari, BA • Small City near Salvador (Bahia State) • 250,000 inhabitants, 32 Primary Care Units • Focus on EHR, Medication Dispensing, and Billing • Campinas,SP • City 100km from São Paulo • 1.5 million inhabitants, 50 Primary Care Units • Focus on EHR and patient flow • 19 municipalities around Campinas -> project planing phase
SIGA Saúde: Advantages of the Architecture • Several cities can share servers and services; • Simple machines at the point of care; • No need for computer personnel at healthcare units; • Complexity stays away from the user, under central control; • Model can be rolled out to other places; • New functionalities can be added easily; • SIGA Saúde: Periodic Updates
Next Steps for SIGA Saúde • Full EHRS • On-line lab reports: • 8 labs using LOINC + CDA R2 (HL7 v3) for interoperability • Municipal Hospitals IT Project • Health Information for the Citizen • Empowering the patient • Distance Learning • TeleHealth

Lessons learned • DO not underestimate the TRAINNING • 30 % is software the rest is PEOPLEWARE. • Keep the systems as simple as possible at the point of care • Be prepared for the political changes • Understand that health information systems are strategic and therefore a state matter • Empower users and citizens • Use information provided by the systems asap -> BI
Final Remarks • IT can be the tool to promote the quantic jump to offer better health for all • Today the recommendation from all big donors and HMN/WHO is to strengthen countries health systems by providing local ownership of an integrated eHealth Architecture, moving away from vertical applications • SIGA Saúde is a proof of concept of this recommendation and can be used in other countries, specially for MDG4 and 5 goals • SOUTH TO SOUTH COLLABORATION…
