Abstract

Student-run clinics are units found in universities and colleges that provide health care to the internal and external public, integrating theoretical knowledge with situations involving treatment provided to real patients, thus reproducing the environment that the student will find in his or her professional life. In this context, this article presents an information system for the management of health services and electronic medical records in student-run clinics called SigSaude. SigSaude is a solution whose architecture is based on microservices, contemplating specialties such as dentistry, psychology, nutrition, and medicine. This system is being used by the student-run clinics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), bringing benefits to the improvement of the quality of patient care and helping teachers and students in the evidence-based teaching-learning process. This system is being used by these clinics and the current results demonstrate the solution’s high scalability.
