Aplicación web para la gestión de insumos médicos en el Hospital Docente Veterinario de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato (HDV-UTA)

Abstract

Healthcare systems require effective management of medical supplies, as this ensures availability, minimizes waste, and improves care times. In the field of veterinary medicine, this management is even more necessary due to the variety of supplies to be managed and the need to control stock and expiration dates. At the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Technical University of Ambato (HDV-UTA), supplies were managed manually. This led to inconsistencies in records, the risk of supplies expiring, a lack of traceability in records, and time spent recording and controlling supplies. In response to this situation, a technological tool was implemented that reduces operation times and improves the accuracy of the data managed. In this project, a web application was developed to digitize and automate the management of veterinary medical supplies. This project was carried out using the hybrid agile methodology of Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) to enable continuous validation with staff. The system was developed in Blazor WebAssembly and ASP.NET Core 9 with SQL Server 2022 as the database management system. The solution integrated modules for recording supplies and batches, managing incoming and outgoing movements, real-time alerts, reports, and dashboards. Its implementation reduced the time required to enter and control supplies; the process took an average of 180 minutes and now takes a maximum of 5 minutes.
