GNU Health HIS: The Libre Hospital Information System

Welcome to the Hospital Information System (HIS) of GNU Health!

The main areas of the HIS are:

• Demographics and Community: Individuals, domiciliary units, families, socioeconomics, demographic & administrative information

• Patient Management: Health encounters and evaluations, hospitalizations, clinical history and other information that makes up the electronic medical records (EMR)

• Health Center: Finances & billing, stock & pharmacy, staff, suppliers, beds, operating rooms and other relevant tasks to manage the health center

• Laboratory and Medical Imaging: Management of complementary orders such as lab tests, medical and diagnostic imaging requests and workflows

• Health Information System: Statistics, analytical reporting on collected data from the community and participating health institutions, e.g. demographics and epidemiology

Functionalities of specific modules are briefly summarized over here:

The GH HIS is part of the GNU Health project, the Libre digital health ecosystem.

The GNU Health project combines the daily medical practice with state-of-the-art technology in bioinformatics and genetics. It provides a holistic approach to the person, from the biological and molecular basis of disease to the social and environmental determinants of health.

This component is ready to integrate in the GNU Health Federation, which allows to interconnect heterogeneous nodes and build large federated health networks across a region, province or country.
