Presenting Epidor: A Management Information System to Support Pain Medicine/ Apresentando Epidor: Um Sistema De Informação Gerencial Para Apoiar a Medicina Da Dor

Abstract

Research on the prevalence of chronic pain in the Brazilian population is still insufficient regarding the electronic recording of these data and their statistical analysis. Considering this scenario, the present article presents a web system for information management on pain management -EPIDOR -, which includes the collection of data from patients with chronic pain and the generation of dashboards from the obtained data. The data collection is performed from two inputs: chronic pain registry from the developed information system and the construction of a digital device -the Digital Survey of Pain -to follow up on the treatment of a specific group of patients. The developed system is in the implantation phase in a regional hospital and the expected result is the mapping of the pain and its epidemiology at municipal level, besides the production of consistent data about the effectiveness of the current treatment.
