Experts launch recommendations for the “digital transformation” of Healthcare incorporating Precision Medicine

MADRID, 17 February (EUROPE PRESS) –

The Roche Foundation has presented to these institutions an information on the implementation of a series of recommendations for the digital transformation of the sanitary system and the incorporation of the Personalized Precision Medicine in the National Health System (SNS).

The document demonstrates the relevance of aspects such as the need to stimulate technological innovation and the availability of a digital interconnected infrastructure, as well as to establish actions that “ensure governance and regulation to ensure the implantation of implantation.” “.

Asimismo, results in the need to “guarantee the organization, standardization and interoperability of data on health, guaranteeing its security, as well as training both the sanitary professionals and the managers and actors of the Sanitary System”.

The authors of the information have analyzed various initiatives relevant at the international, national and autonomous level, in order to identify and extract common elements, as well as good practices or experiences of success that can be adapted to our country. During this analysis, the panel of experts has compiled a list of 50 recommendations in 5 key areas that will be of use for the complete digital transformation of the sanitation system in our country.

Some of the concrete recommendations of the document are the creation of a Public Health Agency, the realization of studies that allow to know and better understand the needs of patients and their families to design solutions that contribute to the result of incorporation Obtained in Salud Digital research projects applied to the Personalized Precision Medicine in Assistive Practice.

During a press conference, the Vice President of the Roche Foundation, Federico Plaza, pointed out that the pandemic “is being accelerated” for some of the health system’s needs, as is the case with digital transformation. In this context, the document offers “conclude concrete and tangible things that can be done and are absolutely factual” in order to incorporate the Precision Medicine into the National Health System.

Plaza has welcomed the experts who have elaborated the document in their effort to identify key areas that will contribute to this cultural change and the organization of traditional medicine. “The digital transformation is one of the major reasons why our sanitary system is in demand and we want to apply a medicine that is actually adapted to each patient. And it specifies major and direct solutions to guarantee good data management, digital acquisition “Interconnected and interoperable information systems, among others, in addition to a funding that will be supported in due course”, he said.

“We are part of a revolution in the sanitation system. During the pandemic, failure to analyze information was made in order for the decisions to be fundamentally based on the data available to us. This change of paradigm of the sanitation system is central to the economy. as we allow the implementation of Personalized Medicine “, commented on the President of the Spanish Society of Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics (SEFF), Adrián Llerena.

The expert said that in order to “transform” the sanitation system, there would be a series of repairs, as the mayor coordinates between the 17 health services of the autonomous communities. “The first is to increase the accuracy in the management of the date. We need complete and regular clinical histories, with interoperable systems. It is possible to allow Spain to be located in the first line of the application of digital health, can increase much the efficiency of our system” , has reflected.

In the same vein, Llerena insisted on the need to incorporate technology into the regular practice of Medicine. “Have endowed the sanitary system of technological advances and increase the capacities of the sanitary professionals”, he insisted.

The Director of Planning at the University Hospital Madrid on October 12, Pablo Serrano, has also been pushing to boost these new technologies by selecting the inversions with efficacy. “It has financially attracted a lot of value, so it values ​​every initiative, as well as guaranteeing the accessibility of the digital structures that are created and the sanitary assistance derived from it,” he said.

Among the proposals, the President of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM), Álvaro Rodríguez-Lescure, has increased the training of sanitary professionals in digital healthcare.

“Of the same form that the Specialized Sanitary Training System has given great value to the provision of health, we believe that this new reality requires the creation of the figure of a resident biomedical computer, which must be incorporated into its training period. “, ha propuesto.

Of the same form, it agreed “to incorporate these transversal competencies into the ambit of the university and within the formation of the Degree on Genetics and Scientific Data”. “Habría considers double degrees in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine, for example”, said the specialist.

The Director of the Bioinformatics Area of ​​the Progress and Health Fund of the Andalusian Youth, Joaquín Dopazo, stated that, by its dimensions, size and point of view, the most international initiative applicable to Spain is the Genome England project ( United Kingdom). “The idea of ​​generating a dependent structure of the Ministry of Health that can be used from the health systems of any autonomous community and that favors the use of genomic data and associated clinics in clinical practice is a very far-reaching plan. “Medicina Personalizada nacional (which is the first part of the IMPaCT project) claims something”, he explained.

The managing director of the Instituto Roche Foundation, Consuelo Martín de Dios, has decided to conclude that the information demonstrates “the relevance of imparting technological innovation, while also having a digital connected infrastructure, with a dedicated implementation Effective of Digital Salud both the fundamental values ​​of bioethics “.

“The digital transformation of the system is a condition without which it is intended to cover a personalized Medicine Precision. From the Roche Institute Foundation, we work in this field from now on and we take from all the perspectives needed, “digital greetings”, has been remade.
