GNU Health HMIS: Libre Hospital Management and Health Information System
========================================================================
 
The GNU Health HMIS provides the following functionality:

#. **Hospital Management Information System (HMIS)**
#. **Electronic Medical Record (EMR)**
#. **Health Information System (HIS)**
#. **Laboratory Information System (LIS)**

The Hospital and Health Information System component (HMIS) from GNU Health (GH) 
provides over 40 standard-based packages (primary care, obstetrics & gynecology,
pediatrics, surgery, lims, genetics, diagnostic imaging, dentistry, reporting...)
to fit your institution needs. The GH HMIS combines the socioeconomic determinants of
health with state-of-the-art technology in bioinformatics and clinical genetics. 

The HMIS manages the internal processes of a health institution, such as 
financial management, billing, stock management, pharmacies or labs (LIMS). 

The GH HMIS 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.
