Ask HN: Open Source Hospital or ER Systems

Hi all, Are there any open source systems for Hospitals or Emergency rooms or anything related to Health Care management? please share if you know of anything like that. I was searching a bit but i thought let me also ask just in case Thanks

Edit: use case is for a smal ER in my town, might extend further if it would work well, it would be nice if the systems had the chance to connected between the town, but isolation is fine as well, tracking patients, numbers of patients

I added the edit, but what do you mean use case? did i answer it or is there more to it? let me know, was just looking for something to modernize the work as much as possible and switch away from excel or access that is used at the moment, oh and also paper :)

If you're looking for EMR software, there's OSCAR:

thanks i will check it out, should you find anything else please feel free to post :)!

That is helpful but I have some more questions: - Are you looking for a system to maintain a clinical history for each patient that you see? In this case, you would need an EHR system

- Are you looking for some sort of practice management system to help with scheduling, billing, registration, etc?

- Does your ER need a Lab Information Management system?

- Do you need software to manage bed utilization?

- Do you need two or more of the systems described above? IS the ER a part of another Health System that would want access to your data? You would likely need an interface engine

- What are the requirements around Open Source software? In some cases self-hosting a healthcare solution becomes more costly than paying a vendor when it comes to HIPPA compliance

Healthcare has a wide variety of software tools that can be used. What will is the benefit you are hoping to bring to the business by implementing this open source software?
