SYNOPSIS
GNU Health is a Health and Hospital Information System that uses the Tryton platform.

DESCRIPTION
gnuhealth-server is a Tryton server that has been configured to run a ready-to-use GNU Health installation.
The Tryton server is started on port 8482, you can connect to it using tryton-client. You can also install the gnuhealth-client package, which provides the gnuhealth command that automatically sets up a profile and configuration tailored to your GNU Health server. The modules that your Healthcare organisation wishes to use need to be activated from within the client. Activating the health_profile module will provide your installation with the default modules. General information about GNU Health:

 * Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
 * Hospital Information System (HIS)

 * Designed with industry standards in mind The data model is designed in such a way that centralizes the information, so no duplication occurs. On the other hand, GNU Health optimizes collaboration and communication between health professionals. Standards:
The information generated and gathered in GNU Health should be standard. We use ICD-10 for pathologies / diseases diagnoses. For example, instead of typing an arbitrary name for the condition, the doctor will be able to choose from over 14.000 mutually exclusive classified diseases. This is very important for epidemiological and other statistical studies. GNU Health uses the information on genetics from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and Genecards to link genes disorders to diseases. This information is important to evaluate risks of the patient to contract a specific disease and the probability of transmitting it to next generations. GNU Health also registers all the relevant family history information of the patient. Similarly, the patient history will be in a format that medical centers all over the world would be able to process. Effective, paperless and fast way of practising medicine.
