• Abstract: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death worldwide. The rapid and accurate diagnosis of these diseases is of great importance in the treatment of patients. Since its invention, the analysis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) has been one of the most widely used tools for this diagnosis. The tests are performed on electrocardiographic equipment. In some hospitals, these devices still make printed records for analysis by the clinical team, with no connection to the existing electronic medical record system. With the expansion of increasing computerization in health services, the recording of the patient's medical record in digital format is significant. The Onofre Lopes University Hospital (HUOL) uses a tool developed by EBSERH, called AGHU, adopted as a standard for all University Hospitals. This project proposes the digitization of electrocardiogram exams in the cardiology outpatient clinic of HUOL. A study was carried out with the aim of making the ECG accessible for storage, consultation and research by the medical team, professors, students and researchers of the institution. The software produced by the equipment manufacturer was used in order to digitize the exam directly to the computer, and with the IT team, the AGHU module was implemented on the computers available in the cardiology outpatient clinic. It is concluded that the analog equipment, from the addition of the software, performed the exam in digital format, facilitating the diagnosis, improving patient care and giving access to all members of the institution at the same time.
