The engineer Carlos Rodríguez, National Executive Director of Innovation and Transformation of the Social Security Fund (CSS), spoke this Tuesday about the change from the manual file to the digital one, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
He assured that, with this digital document, the entity is saving around $5 million annually. “The process used to be that I had to buy paper, print the file for each employee at the national level, and then the companies had to come to the Bolívar building to remove the blocks of file and set up logistics to deliver it,” he explained.
He specified that they currently have a tool, whose name is validation of the right, and it is no longer necessary to present the printed form.
“When presenting the card that our general data has, the photo, all health units have this tool and validate this in the system to verify whether or not they are entitled to the care they are requiring,” Rodríguez remarked,
