Open Hospital is a health information management system designed for hospitals, clinics and other healthcare facilities. Developed particularly with resource-constrained environments in mind, it provides tools for managing patient records, clinical activities and everyday hospital administration.
The software handles patient registration, outpatient visits, admissions, medical treatments, laboratory results, vaccinations and pharmaceutical stock. Administrative functionality includes appointment scheduling, patient billing, inventory management and statistical reporting.
Open Hospital is developed in Java and offers a graphical desktop interface. It can operate as a standalone application on a single computer or in a client/server configuration where multiple users share a central database. The software is designed to function without a permanent internet connection, making it suitable for healthcare facilities with unreliable connectivity.
This is free and open source software.
