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.
