SISUNAPI: FERRAMENTA COMPUTACIONAL DE INTEGRAÇÃO DOS DADOS DA UNAPI/UFMS

Abstract

Integrated Health Institute (INISA) is sectorial unit of UFMS with guidelines for the teaching-service-community integration and, through several different activities, they offer health care different levels complexity. It appears that Institute, although several research and extension projects underway, there no centralized system that stores data allows for obtaining and monitoring information. One these extension projects entitled Multidisciplinary Health Assessment of the Elderly People UNAPI/UFMS (Open University for the Elderly People/UFMS) aims at global and multidisciplinary analysis of health of elderly over 60 years old. For project in question, some difficulties were observed, such as: decentralization of data referring to cultural and sport extension projects in which they participate; the lack of centralization of physiological and psychosocial information of elderly people, among others. It should be noted that many data are distributed across different sectors of Institute and with different researchers, both in the form of electronic spreadsheets and paper forms. This work presents a study for structuring and requirements gathering of a system (SISUNAPI) capable of meeting UNAPI demand, presenting main resources and necessary functions. As a method, a framework was used and a Database was created that met the minimum requirements for obtaining basic information from participants in research, teaching and extension projects. A prototype capable of storing research data and linking them between researchers and research subjects was developed.
