The Bahmni software is a hospital system for low-resource settings used to manage patient records by integrating several open source platforms
The Bahmni is an open source electronic hospital records management software distributed by the Bahmni Coalition. The system integrates three open source platforms: OpenMRS, OpenELIS, and OPENERP. It stores data from different domains of a healthcare institution and is accessible to staff with low literacy. A dedicated support team updates it periodically and can export the information to other formats (i.e. CVS, PDF, HTML, XLS). The availability of tutorial videos allows accessibility for people with low literacy.
