I can't quite understand what is actually part of GNU Health:
> Social Medicine and Public Health
> Bioinformatics and Medical Genetics
Are these that a piece of software? scopes? Intents?
> Hospital Management (HMIS)
Ok, now this is software for sure, but what exactly does this mean? There are many things to manage within a hospital. Is this software for managing inventories? Scheduling? Personnel assignments and organizational relations? Patient flow records? And - is most of this stuff really specific to hospitals? e.g. how is this different from managing, say, a hotel?
> Laboratory Management (Occhiolino)
Again not so clear what kind of management we're talking about.
> Personal Health Record (MyGNUHealth)
Ok, this I (think I) understand.
> GNU Health embedded on Single Board devices
What exactly needs to get embedded? And - what kind of device? It could be a Raspberry Pi, that's a single-board device, right? So, just another general-purpose computer, but on ARM-based silicon. Or - it could be an, I don't know, some kind of scanner, like a portable UltraSound.
Bottom line: I'm sure it's a collection of useful software but very difficult to figure out exactly what, and how it's specific to healthcare.
Laboratory Management Systems, or LMS, is laboratory software which handles laboratory orders, retrieving results from the laboratory equipment and sending back the results to the electronic patient record (EPR). It does a lot more than that of course, but basically it's a big database handling thousands of blood tests, biopsies, tissue samples, as well as worklists for staff, in order to get diagnostics results back to the clinicians.
