Dear all :

This is a sneak preview of what’s going on in the development of MEDICAL

There is a new module for pediatrics, which will cover the existing neonatology and all the other pediatric information.

Newborn wristbands
To maximize security and identification of the newborn, MEDICAL assigns a newborn ID, and allows to print the four identification bands to place it on the baby and mother’s wrists and ankles.

Newborn barcoded wristband created by MEDICAL
The identification band will have a unique barcode that can be checked by the institution security personnel at anytime. 

New Pediatrics Module and enhanced Neonatology information

The new pediatrics module will cover the neonatal , infancy, toddler and teenage information.

The neonatology process has been extensively revised, with many new indicators and functionality, such as :

  • Multiple APGAR tests
  • Automatic APGAR score
  • Newborn reflexes, 
  • Improved sign and symptoms
  • New newborn tests

The antenatal information and the puerperium remains in the gynecology / obstetrics module.

You can check the new functionality in the development version. Please test it and let us know your suggestions !

Luis Falcón is pleased to announce the Medical 1.0.0 release. After more than 2 years we get the first general availability version of Medical, the Free Health and Hospital Information System.

Thanks to all of you who have committed your talent and your time to make a system that can improve the lives of people all over the world, no matter their economical status.

Medical is now installed in many places and countries, from Primary care centers in Argentina, to the United Nations University, to Hospitals in Indonesia or Africa, to name only a few.

Now with the base system settled, we will start to add new functionality in the 1.1 (development) series. Many exciting features and specialities are coming this year : Pediatrics, ophthalmology, epidemiology, nutrition, oncology, cardiology, neurology …. all for free and available to all health professionals around the globe

Today MEDICAL optimizes the promotion of health and the prevention of the disease, by having a holistic view of the patient, her family, socioeconomic status, lifestyle and clinical history. It also allows the health center to manage its resources, and the ministry of health to improve the health campaigns. Used properly, MEDICAL is a great public health tool.

Finally, thanks to the Government of the European Community, for publishing MEDICAL in their Public Software Portal, as well as our Brazilian friends, who have published MEDICAL at the Portal do Software Público Brasileiro.

This common effort will increase the amount of physicians using Free Software, and we will all benefit with their valuable feedback.

I take the opportunity to thank the United Nations and their Development Program – UNDP – ( http://www.undp.org) , since it’s been supporting our mission since 2009. Mr Raul Zambrano, Senior Policy Advisor on ICT and Governance for the UNDP, was one of the lecturers at IWEEE (http://www.iweee.org)  2010 in Las Palmas.

Como en anteriores ediciones, habrá presentaciones, discusiones y mesas redondas llevadas a cabo por un grupo multi-disciplinario que nos relatarán la realidad de sus sociedades, y posibles medidas para mejorar la educación y salud de sus pueblos.

Kisiizi Hospital is located in the Republic of Uganda in Western region near the boarder of DR congo. Kisiizi Hospital treats about 300,000 residents with the nearest hospital nearly 100 kilometers away, in Kabaale, it serves as a health haven for most residents who can barely afford pain killers. 
With support from many well wishers from UK, the hospital also trains Nurses at the Nursing school, these in turn are employed at the hospital. The hospital generates its own power through a hydro power plant. Its capacity is 250 beds. 
We at Geomaqs Technologies Ltd are helping the hospital implement a management Information System based on openerp. 
We would like to adopt medical as a HIS/MRS. Are there any members who have functional modules for openerp 5.0.14, reply mokongo@geomaqs.com

El Hospital Académico Paramaribo es el hospital mas grande y moderno del Suriname.

El AZP fue fundado el 9 de marzo del 966 como un hospital central, transformándose en Hospital Académico Paramaribo en 1969, ganando así su estatus de Universidad.

La plantilla actual consta de cerca de 1700 trabajadores y el Hospital tiene una capacidad de 470 camas.

Cada año se hospitalizan unos 20.000 pacientes, mientras unos 176.000 pacientes ambulatoriales visitan el hospital.

Agradecemos el compromiso de AZP con Medical y el apoyo a nuestra organización: GNU Solidario
Estamos trabajando con AZP para proveer inicialmente una funcionalidad específica en la atención pediátrica y cardiológica. Este es un claro ejemplo de como los grandes hospitales pueden colaborar con el Software Libre, para que el resto del mundo se beneficie también.
