Desarrollo de una aplicación interactiva en rshiny para la visualización de indicadores de servicio hospitalario en el hospital pedíatrico alfonso villagómez román

Abstract

This degree work addresses the lack of a platform for interactive representation of hospital service indicators at the Alfonso Villagómez Román Pediatric Hospital. In order to solve this limitation, a web application was developed in R Shiny to improve the visualization of these indicators. The specific objectives included the creation of the application, the design of data storage, the loading of relevant information and the integration of the tool in administrative management. The theoretical justification lies in the current need for efficient management of hospital indicators and the potential of technology in the health sector. Indicators are essential to assess the quality of medical care and support informed decisions. The methodological justification is based on the use of a rigorous approach that ensures the validity and reliability of the results. The methodology covered from the planning and design of the application to its evaluation, using R Shiny for its ability to create interactive visualizations. The development was guided by good programming practices, guaranteeing the efficiency and maintainability of the code. The results include a successfully developed web application, that provides an interactive platform for visualizing and understanding hospital service indicators. Organized and coherent data storage were designed, facilitating the extraction and loading of information. The application was successfully integrated into the hospital’s administrative management, providing users direct access. In conclusion, this work achieved its objective by creating a valuable tool for management and decision-making in the hospital setting. The R Shiny application proved to be effective in improving the presentation and analysis of indicators, thus contributing to a more efficient administration and optimization of resources at the Alfonso Villagómez Román Pediatric Hospital.
