PEC Plus

What is PEC Plus?

PEC Plus is a Chrome extension designed to assist healthcare professionals using the Prontuário Eletrônico (PEC E-SUS) system in Brazil. It provides real-time guidance during patient consultations, such as notifications for mandatory disease reporting, scoring tools for mental health assessments, and printable templates for MRPA and glucose monitoring. The tool integrates seamlessly with PEC to enhance workflow efficiency without storing sensitive data.

Who will use PEC Plus?

PEC Plus is tailored for doctors and nurses working in Brazil’s Primary Health Care (APS) system who use the PEC E-SUS electronic health record platform. It’s ideal for professionals seeking streamlined workflows, compliance with health regulations (e.g., SINAN forms), and tools for longitudinal patient monitoring like GAD-7 or PHQ-9 scores.

How to use PEC Plus?

• Install the PEC Plus extension from the Chrome Web Store.
• Ensure you have access to the PEC E-SUS system.
• During consultations, select conditions in the "Avaliação" (Assessment) field to trigger automated guidance (e.g., SINAN forms or mental health scores).
• Use provided PDF templates for MRPA or glucose diaries from the "Planos" (Plans) section.
• Follow on-screen prompts without data storage concerns, as the tool complies with LGPD privacy laws.

In what environments or scenarios is PEC Plus suitable?

PEC Plus is optimized for primary care clinics and public health units in Brazil using the PEC E-SUS platform. Key scenarios include managing notifiable diseases (e.g., dengue or tuberculosis), conducting mental health assessments (e.g., depression screenings), and creating care plans. It’s unsuitable for non-PEC systems or environments requiring data collection beyond its core functionality.
