- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoAplicación de las TICS (Tecnologías de la información y comunicaciones) en el cuidado de la salud(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Romero Zeas, Carmen Verónica; Guevara Vizcaíno, Claudio Fernando; 0105879415Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in patient care use digital tools to provide services, strengthening a country’s economic and social development; they are classified as soft, soft-hard, and hard. Objective: To develop a literature review on applying Information and Communication Technologies in health services. Methodology: A non-experimental research literature review, structured with articles consulted from scientific sources, such as Taylor & Francis, PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, Medline, ProQuest, Springer, Web of Science, and Redalyc, was conducted. Results: The most widely used computer applications for patient care are mobile applications and digital platforms; concerning the contribution of ICTs in disease prevention, they are classified into primary prevention, focused on avoiding the development of pathologies, while secondary prevention is aimed at early detection of conditions, and tertiary prevention focuses on reducing complications in chronic diseases. Among the existing limitations in care, the following can be distinguished: lack of security, privacy, acceptability, reliability, and others. On the other hand, the areas of nursing in which ICTs are mainly used are assistance, administration, research, and teaching. Finally, the digital divide is evidenced by economic, geographic, and social factors. Conclusion: ICTs are essential tools nowadays and very useful for healthcare professionals because they optimize resources and time spent in different healthcare areas.
