The net of health of the Province Espaillat has had a significant development in the last 30 years. It has gone on from 2 establishments to 35, nevertheless this growth has not been accompanied of an effective integration between the primary level of attention and the specializing level. The system of reference between both levels has not worked due. For example, there is very low the proportion of above-mentioned and entered patients (2 %), to the provincial hospital Dr. Toribio Bencosme, proceeding from the establishments of the primary level (Units of Attention Primary, municipal hospitals, between others).
With the advances of the TIC there is had the opportunity to accelerate the fluid relation between(among) institutions of health of different levels of attention, as well as of interconnecting to the sanitary personnel of Espaillat's provincial net between(among) them themselves, contributing(paying) to the interchange of information and knowledge in benefit of a better service of health.
