Abstract

This article presented the implementation, results, and usability evaluation of a software solution designed to manage oncological cases between healthcare centers. The software was developed to facilitate the exchange of clinical and administrative data for patients referred to the Arturo López Peréz Foundation (FALP) through a charitable program. The software underwent iterative development and included features such as user roles, patient list, progress tracking, document upload and viewer, chat, DICOM viewer, sharing, download, and API integration. The usability of the software was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire, which showed high levels of usability and user satisfaction. The software proved successful in facilitating the coordination and continuity of care for patients referred to FALP and received positive feedback from users. The results of this study highlight the effectiveness and value of the software solution in improving case management and information exchange in the Chilean healthcare system. Future plans include expanding the software for internal patient management at FALP and extending its use to other institutions.
