Bahmni is an integrated hospital management and electronic medical record system designed particularly for healthcare facilities operating with limited resources. It brings together clinical care, patient administration, laboratory services, inventory management and financial operations.
The software builds on established open source healthcare and business applications, including OpenMRS for clinical records, OpenELIS for laboratory management and Odoo for enterprise resource planning. This integrated approach allows healthcare organisations to manage patient information and associated administrative processes without relying on several disconnected systems.
Bahmni provides tools for patient registration, consultations, prescriptions, laboratory investigations, admissions and bed management. Its billing and inventory components help hospitals manage payments, medicines and supplies. The software also includes clinical and operational reporting capabilities to support healthcare delivery and administration.
This is free and open source software.
