The pandemic suffered in 2020 following the appearance of the SARS CoV-2 virus has marked a radical change in the way in which the basic pillars of international, and more specifically Spanish, society are understood. The existing social and economic model has had to adapt abruptly and urgently to the reality of what has happened. The impact that these changes will have after the pandemic is still unclear, but it may be surmised that many of them are here to stay. The use of information and communication technologies has been critical in the pandemic scenario and also in the health environment, where factors like telemedicine have come to play a key role for society. This work presents an initial analysis of how degrees in Medicine train students for telematic work with patients and provides a series of reflections based on the pandemic which may serve as a point of departure for future studies.

Currently, there is a lack in companies developing software in relation to assessing their staff’s productivity before executing software projects, with the aim of improving effectiveness and efficiency. QuEF (Quality Evaluation Framework) is a framework that allows defining quality management tasks based on a model. The main purpose of this framework is twofold: improve an entity’s continuous quality, and given a context, decide between a set of entity’s instances on the most appropriate one. Thus, the aim of this paper is to make this framework available to evaluate productivity of professionals along software development and select the most appropriate experts to implement the suggested project. For this goal, Valortia platform, capable of carrying out this task by following the QuEF framework guidelines, is designed. Valortia is a platform to certify users' knowledge on a specific area and centralize all certification management in its model by means of providing protocols and methods for a suitable management, improving efficiency and effectiveness, reducing cost and ensuring continuous quality.
