# Núcleo — The sovereign foundation

The sovereign base where the single clinical record lives, along with the workflows that connect your staff, your patients and your sites.

## What it is

Núcleo is the foundational layer of the VectorVida ecosystem: the clinical operating system an institution runs on. It unifies the patient record, patient management and the coordination of specialists and sites into one source of truth, with every action traceable.

Built on international standards and Mexican regulation, Núcleo keeps clinical information intact, auditable and under national control — no silos, and no dependency on foreign infrastructure.

## Features

- **A single electronic health record** — One source of truth, aligned with NOM-024.
- **FHIR interoperability** — Connects today’s fragmented systems over HL7 FHIR.
- **Unified management** — Patients, specialists, providers and sites.
- **Data sovereignty** — Clinical information is processed and held in Mexico.
- **Immutable audit trail**
- **Integration point**

## Compliance

- Aligned with NOM-024-SSA3, the Mexican standard for health information exchange.
- Interoperability built on the HL7 FHIR standard.
- Personal data processed under Mexico’s federal data protection law (LFPDPPP).

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Núcleo replace the system my institution already uses?

Not necessarily. Núcleo can serve as the institution’s single clinical record, but it is designed to connect to existing systems over HL7 FHIR, so integration is the starting point rather than a full migration.

### How does Núcleo comply with NOM-024?

Núcleo aligns with NOM-024-SSA3 for health information exchange: it structures the record according to the standard, keeps every action on that record traceable, and holds the information on infrastructure under national control.

### Can a clinical record be deleted in Núcleo?

Not in any way that removes the recoverable clinical history. Every record, encounter and diagnosis is auditable and permanent, backed by an immutable log that reconstructs who accessed or changed the information, and when.

### Does Núcleo handle multiple sites and specialists?

Yes. It unifies the management of patients, specialists, providers and sites into one source of truth, including the workflows that coordinate staff across locations.
