Death Certificate

The Medical Death Certificate is a legal document signed by a medical professional when a death occurs. This document is necessary to initiate burial procedures with funeral companies, departmental cemeteries, and for registering the event in the Civil Registry. The electronic issuance of the Electronic Death Certificate (CDe) allows the online transmission of data to public and private institutions involved in the process, avoiding delays during a very sensitive time for the deceased's family.

It also allows for the separation of personal identification data from medical data, thereby ensuring the confidentiality of the latter. The system has national coverage and is led by the Ministry of Public Health of Uruguay.

Perinatal Medical History

This system, which is integrated with the electronic live birth and electronic death certificates led by the Ministry of Public Health of Uruguay, aims to register data related to pregnancy, childbirth, the newborn, and the discharge of the mother and newborns.

The system includes an alert module that allows real-time notifications to be sent upon detection of cases requiring special follow-up. This system will be integrated with the Perinatal Information System (SIP) for the collection of statistical data and indicators.

Medical History for the Health Card

The pre-employment and employment examination conducted at the Preventive Clinics Department under the MSP (General Health Directorate - Environmental and Occupational Health Division) consists of a clinical check aimed at identifying existing pathologies, risk factors that could harm workers' health, and positive behaviors to promote that help maintain good health status.

The developed information system automates the process of issuing this health card, including results from dental exams, clinical exams, general medicine and specialist exams (vision and hearing), Women's Polyclinic, Work History, among others. Additionally, the system includes a module for obtaining statistical data and indicators that allow evaluation and improvement of the overall process.

User Management System for problematic drug use treatment, for the National Drug Board of the Presidency of the Republic

This project aims to provide a User Management System for the treatment of problematic drug use at the national level, centralizing its management and information in a secure environment.

During the pilot phase to be considered, work will be done on implementing the system in specific care centers and training the users responsible for entering the information.

Live Birth Certificate

This system enables the management of the electronic issuance process for the live birth certificate. The system is used by doctors across the country, who, by electronically signing the certificate, generate a record in a centralized database at the Ministry of Public Health and submit a request to the Civil Identification Directorate to reserve the newborn’s identity document number.

In this way, an identification is assigned to the newborn, and vital statistics data can be obtained in real time.

This project was selected as a pilot project for the Electronic Government Platform, as it includes a web services layer that is consumed by various agencies that need to be informed of the existence of a new person in the country: Civil Registry Office, Social Security Bank, among others.
