Applications
an open source hospital information system that brings double entry accounting, patient billing, stock and human resources together in one application for health facilities
Overview
BHIMA is an open source hospital information management system built for health facilities in low resource settings. It combines a full double entry accounting ledger with the day to day operations of a clinic or hospital: registering patients and running their invoices and payments, managing debtors and cash boxes, tracking medical stock and inventory across depots, handling employees, grades and payroll, and producing the financial and operational reports a facility needs to stay accountable. Everything shares one database so clinical activity and the books stay in step.
It suits rural and district hospitals, clinics and health networks that need dependable accounting and billing without a large IT budget, organisations that report to donors or ministries and need auditable financial statements, and multi site operators that want one consistent system across every facility.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg ships BHIMA as a complete appliance rather than a stack you have to assemble: the Node application, its MySQL database, the Redis session store and an nginx front end are installed, configured and running within a minute or two of first boot, and a preloaded demonstration dataset means the accounting, patient and stock modules are populated the moment you log in rather than showing an empty install. Security is designed in: no administrator account and no secret is baked into the image. On first boot, before the site serves, every instance generates its own database passwords and session secret and rotates the application administrator to a unique per instance password, and the upstream demonstration login is rejected, so no two machines ever share a credential. The first login details are written to a root only file on the machine. The base is fully patched with unattended security updates enabled, and every image comes with a step by step deploy guide tested against the exact build and 24/7 cloudimg support.
