BAHMNI DISTRIBUTION

BAHMNI DISTRIBUTION

Bahmni is an open-source EMR and Hospital Management System.

Bahmni distribution has a primary focus on EMR component.

Bahmni distribution is use in hospital to manage patient records and related workflows.

Bahmni create the data in the past and on behalf of another provider (if granted).

User can view the form filled and edit data forms.

Implementers can deploy just the Open MRS component of the Bahmni Distribution and use it purely as an EMR.

Bahmni intends to cover hospitals for bills and pharmacy stock management, rather than just EMR component.

Open ERP can support multiple languages.

Open ELIS also support multiple language to some extent.

Registration and clinical modules of EMR also support multiple languages

It includes drug prescribing. Bahmni has a stronger copy left license.

Patient Registration:

Registration module can be used for managing patient’s details, identities, address, contact information and other non clinical information about the patient. Capture patient’s address on a geographical location hierarchy. Manage relationship of the patient to other patients. Create your own printout based on patient’s registration information and make them available to be printed (e.g identification card)

Program

Program is used for diseases such as HIV or tuberculosis or condition such as pregnancy or intervention such as childhood immunization. Program is used when a patient is identified as belonging to a group for which a particular set of coordinated interventions is to be followed up. Program are important for reporting where entry and exit dates for program. Program define with one workflow and enroll patients in these program using Bahmni. Patient states can be visualize that is change over timeline. Encounters within a program can be easily separate out from other encounter for reporting.

Clinical observation

You can define your own forms and also visualize the filled forms. Your own form can be define using clinical notes for general patients, emergency, surgery, intake-output, delivery, every disease or condition. On each form you can make numeric, textual, coded options, true-false, date, date time, duration type of observations. User can see the form filled previously and choose one of them from the list of forms in the system. These forms can be created by importing CSV files or through the administration user interface. Bahmni can be used in the hospital, which has no issue of sharing data with other hospitals.

Diagnosis

The clinicians can capture diagnosis of patients and manage their old diagnosis. In the database these diagnosis can be mapped to ICD-10 codes for reporting purposes. Bahmni allows you to configure your own attributes for the each diagnosis like inactive, ruled out etc.

Drug Order

Drug order feature allow the user to make new drug order and stop or refill the active one. It allows them to choose dosage and instructions. By providing sensible defaults this features make your users highly efficient.

These template automatically configure the drug order on user interface, user can review and save.

Drug Order Dispensing in Pharmacy

This will provide the ability for the pharmacist dispensing drugs to mark drug orders by a clinician as "Dispensed" using the clinical module

Patient Dashboards

Bahmni provides a wide array of canned widgets which the implementer can choose from - diagnosis, observations, tabular view, graphical view, drug orders, patient profile, lab results, visits, radiology results, disposition and in-patient summary. By choosing number of visits, terminologies, age groups, etc to create your hospital specific dashboard. Bahmni supports multiple dashboards for configuring additional disease.
