GNUmed
GNUmed is a comprehensive scalable open source medical
practice management software.
Its purpose is to enable doctors to keep a medically sound
record on their patients' health.
It is intended to become a sophisticated
decision support system that will elevate the
quality of medical care that can be delivered.
GNUmed is suitable for any health care provider interested in
keeping a
sound and comprehensive medical record. It is currently in use with GPs
and physical therapists and it may be a perfect solution for doctors or
nurse clinicians serving rural or
disadvantaged areas with limited infrastructure.
GNUMed stores all data
encrypted so that even hardware theft does not enable disallowed data
access. The software operates on networks of a few to many users, and
will support secure, remote access. It also functions
on a single computer making it possible to initially examine the
software.
