• Methodology: Qualitative methodology through the Nominal Group.
• Outcomes: Advantages: Greater speed to obtain information, faster search for number and location of case-history, faster appointment making, and more autonomy. Disadvantages: Lack of specific computer personnel, lack of previous computer knowledge, slowness of the computer programs, system failures, and does not to reveal specific nursing work.
