Dear sir,
I am new to the healthcare sector after a long distinguished career in the Indian Army. Aim being not just a second career but also a different way of contributing to patient health care. Seeing the passion of your young energetic team here, I am intrigued to get in touch with you on the IT challenges I found in the hospital where I am trying to contribute. How can I give the surgeons here an OT scheduler or an app where availability of both our OTs is visible to them to plan and schedule there surgeries for efficient utilization of theatres. I am sure you will not mind helping out a army veteran on this to perform his role better. I am based out of Bangalore & it will be a pleasure to host you anytime. Warm Regards, Col Rakesh Bhardwa,VSM(Retd), Contact -7896003305
Hi Sir, thank you for showing interest in Bahmni. OT scheduling is available in standard Bahmni version. As Bahmni LITE version is for smaller clinics OT scheduling functionality is not provided in this version.
Also, please note that all of IPD features, including Appointment Management and OT Scheduling, are undergoing major development this year in Bahmni. So, you can expect improvements in the screens and some new features in coming months!
Congratulations to all of you who do such a wonderful job and share it in such a nice way. I am impressed and grateful.
I would like to ask for a little help, because I can’t find how to configure appointment notices and reminders for patients.
I have installed the Lite version in Docker and according to what I have read, this is possible.
From already thank you very much.
Greetings, Federico from Argentina.
REMINDER: A community demo / Q&A meeting on Bahmni Lite v1.0 by @akhilmalhotra (Dr. Akhil) is scheduled from tomorrow 24-July-2023 (Monday) at 6:30pm India Time.
The Bahmni Lite Docker setup is now easier to manage with the introduction of .env and .env.dev files for configuring environment variables. The .env file points to the stable and tested version of Bahmni Lite v1.0.0, while the .env.dev file points to the latest image version for development and testing.
To get started, use the default setup with .env by running run-bahmni.sh . If you prefer to use the latest images, simply execute run-bahmni.sh env.dev. For those who need more flexibility, create a custom .env file, like .env.local , and run run-bahmni.sh .env.local with your custom configuration.
Please ensure your chosen environment variables file is properly configured before running the commands. Refer this README.md for detailed instructions and further information.
