Description
Summary:	The aging of the population and the increase in chronic diseases generated the need for care at home for pluripathological patients, who can no longer access outpatient care due to functional and social problems. The use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) improves continuity of care, simplifies data collection, decreases overhead costs, and reduces mortality in chronically ill patients. The use of an App to check and record data in the EMR during the home visit saves time for professionals and helps to avoid transcription errors. This article shares our experience with the design and implementation of a Mobile Application with EMR functionalities for the Homecare setting of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires network.
