Abstract

Today, more and more hospitals manage patient records using computer support and information technology. This paper presents a Registration and Nursing System far patients using NFC (Near Field Communications), smart mobile devices and a Web-based application. This solution seeks to facilitate the registration of patient information and better track care processes while in a health center. The results of the application of this system indicate that despite benefits to the management of patient information, the nurses feel they still need to adapt themselves to technological changes, as well as training in the use of new technologies.
