Abstract

Introduction: During pandemics such as COVID-19, the number of people accessing medical services dramatically increases in a short time. Collecting data on the patients is a complex, but necessary process. Having personalized information is useful to individual or collectively follow up certain groups of patients, and to obtain feedback about the medical conduct and the protocols established.

Objective: To present a user-friendly app that allows quick filling in the COVID-19 patient forms from a device with network access.

Methods: Programming of a database system accessible from a connected device.

Results:  The Egreso/COViD-19 app was implemented, which allows, from a connected device, to enter data about a new patient's pre-COVID, COVID and post-COVID medical history. The system allows consulting, updating and incorporating information on each patient, correcting several of the most common filling in errors, and saving material resources.

Conclusions: The proposed app facilitates the completion of COVID-19 patient information. Clinical, epidemiological and administrative authorities will have at their disposal useful information for medical assistance, teaching, research, and administrative management of the pandemic. This way of collecting information could be extended to other epidemics.
