BHIMA

=================

BHIMA is a free, open source accounting and hospital information management system

(HIMS) tailored for rural hospitals in Africa.  We are an international team

based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

BHIMA is an acronym for _basic hospital information management application_.

Project Goals

--------------------

BHIMA aims to provide a flexible and robust accounting and managerial solution

for rural hospitals.  This includes, but is not limited to, basic income/expense

reporting, budgeting, patient and organisational billing, depreciation,

inventory and pricing, and purchasing.

Additionally, BHIMA bundles reports and optional reporting plugins to aid

hospital administrators, aid organisations, and governmental/non-governmental

agencies access up to date utilization data.  It targets insitutions that must conform

to the [OHADA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OHADA) reporting standards in western

and central Africa.

Finally, the entire project is designed to scale from a single, low cost device

in a clinic, to a large multi-hundred bed institution with tens of users

accessing the server simultaneously.

Technology

---------------

The client-side is written in AngularJS and the server in NodeJS.  Session management

is enabled by Redis, and the backend is a MySQL database.
