Abstract

: The GNU General Public Licence (GNU or GPL or simply GPL) is a set of widely used free software licences free to run, share, modify and update per users’ requirements. Patients Information Management System is an efficient digital health records system that facilitates tracking patient information such as diagnosis, drug usage, prescription, health history, etc. This study explores and reviews the list of GNU GPL software in the healthcare domain and their comparative analysis. To find out the best FOSS software NGOs and Charitable Hospitals can use to manage their hospital management systems. The authors adopted scientific methods to select the software and visited each website to find the software documentation to collect detailed information; also, some data was collected from the website home pages. All the collected data have been entered into MS Excel; for review and comparison. This study found that OPenEMR is the best software, followed by GNUmed, OneTouchEMR and Nosh. Most of the software programs are written in Python, Javascript, PHP and Cross-platform supported, and most of the software has been released only in the last decade. All the software has the facility of Mediclaim Management interface. Also, the authors have figured out many facilities integrated with the software like inhouse pharmacy and dispensary support, HIPAA friendly, Encryption, 5010 standards, inventory management etc. This study impacts medical informatics and the healthcare sector in selecting appropriate FOSS software.

基于GNU通用公共许可的患者信息管理系统管理医疗系统的研究

GNU通用公共许可证(GNU或GPL或简称GPL)是一组广泛使用的自由软件许可证，可以根据用户的要求自由运行、共享、修改和更新。患者信息管理系统是一个高效的数字健康记录系统，可以方便地跟踪患者的诊断、用药、处方、健康史等信息。本研究探索和回顾了医疗保健领域的GNU GPL软件列表及其比较分析。找出非政府机构和慈善医院可以用来管理医院管理系统的最佳自由/开源软件。采用科学的方法选择软件，访问各网站查找软件文档，收集详细资料;此外，还从网站主页收集了一些数据。收集到的数据已全部录入MS Excel;用于复习和比较。这项研究发现，OPenEMR是最好的软件，其次是GNUmed、OneTouchEMR和Nosh。大多数软件程序是用Python、Javascript、PHP编写的，支持跨平台，大多数软件是最近十年才发布的。所有软件都具有医疗报销管理界面的功能。此外，作者还设计了许多与软件集成的设施，如内部药房和药房支持，HIPAA友好，加密，5010标准，库存管理等。本研究影响医学信息学和医疗保健部门选择合适的自由/开源软件。
