GNU Health Patient Functionality and Disability Information Module

The package health_disability assess the integration of the person in the society. It also integrates the International Classification of Functionality, Disability and Health (ICF) from the World Health Organization

GNU Health focuses in Social Medicine, so the package health_disability helps in assessing not only the molecular basis of the disease, but all the environmental barriers that a person is exposed in their lifetime, and how they affect them from the physical, emotional and in their integration of the society.

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:

https://docs.gnuhealth.org/his/features.html#packages

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.
