This article reviews the most significant technological innovations developed by ONPE in recent years. These innovations were born based on the concepts of process management, results management, competencies management and the Malcolm Bridge performance excellence model implemented at the ONPE in 2014. The technological innovations developed in the institution on the basis of Information and Communication Technologies seek to improve services offered to citizens by following what the excellence in management model establishes. The article reflects that currently each of these technological innovations and their positive effects have yielded a high level of competitiveness in the organization, making it become an example of modernization for other public sector organizations in Perú.

Background: Studies on tuberculosis (TB) risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) non-users of biological therapy show contradictory results. Objetives: To determine RA as independent risk factor for TB. Design: Non concurrent cohort study. Setting: Guillermo Almenara Asistential Net, Lima-Peru, a teaching hospital. Participants: Biological therapy non-users RA patients. Interventions: RA patients fulfilled the ARA 1987 diagnosis criteria and were biological therapy non-users. Control group was paired by age and sex to RA patients. Patients in control groups had non immunological disorders. Clinical information was completed by interviews. RA patients follow-up was started at the time of diagnosis and ended at the time of interview and/or TB diagnosis. Density incidence (DI) was found for each cohort and TB relative risk (RR) was calculated. To evaluate time length to TB evolution...
