The Hospital de Heredia is facing a critical situation with the potential closure of its surgical rooms due to a new IT system. This system, intended to manage personnel, has introduced significant drawbacks that are impacting critical hospital operations.
Doctor Priscila Balmaceda, director of the hospital, has warned of severe consequences, including the potential shutdown of three operating rooms. These disruptions stem from issues with generating substitution reasons and processing personnel actions within the new management framework.
The lack of essential information and management rights within the system is causing delays in appointments and approvals. This creates a domino effect, potentially leading to a reduction in emergency observation areas and impacting inpatient care.
Concerns have been raised about the implementation process, with accusations of insufficient testing, inadequate staff training, and a lack of contingency planning. The hospital's IT system issues are also reportedly affecting payroll for many Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social employees.
