Prototype of the records and reports management system for professional development at the University of Medical Sciences of Guantánamo

Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become, at present, an essential part of the institutions, which are implementing automated systems to maintain a better control over the information. In this sense, management systems play an important role by allowing easy access and control of data. The objective of this work is to develop a prototype of a management system for records and reports of professional development at the University of Medical Sciences of Guantánamo. A documentary analysis was carried out on the information management systems and the registration process of professional growth; specialists and professors involved in the improvement process were interviewed. The software development methodology was based on prototypes; the Visual Paradigm tool was used for the use-case diagrams and others. The Axure RP8 tool was used to develop the prototype. In response to the program for the computerization of society and to support the process of professional growth at the University, a prototype management system of the records and reports was developed to automate the registration process at the teaching secretary's office and improve the quality and management of information. The designed prototype favors the computerization of records and reports management at the University of Medical Sciences of Guantánamo and other institutions with teaching scenarios, dedicated to professional development.
