( Over 4200 NCBI and Diseases genes )* Includes International Classification of Diseases, version 10, as well as the ICD-10-PCS ( Procedure Coding System )The data model is designed in such a way that centralizes the information, so no duplication occurs.On the other hand, medical optimizes collaboration and communication between health professionals. For example, a doctor may request an specific lab test for a patient, this is processed by the pathologist which diagnoses it and inputs the result on the system. The doctor now has all the analysis information linked to the patient chart.GNU Health allows to attach documents (X-rays, Biopsy results, ... ) to the Patient chart.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 14000 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 an 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.Security--------It follows the access control and security model of TrytonInternationalization--------------------The main language will be English, but it can be easily translated to any other language using module translation.Download--------You can download the latest version or the development branch (svn) at the GNU Health project at GNU  . http://health.gnu.orgSupporting Governments----------------------Special thanks to the European Community (OSOR) and to the Brazilian Portal do Software Público Brasileiro (SPB) for supporting Free Software and GNU Health, as a public good.Collaboration--------------There are many ways that you can contribute to the project, for example :* Documentation* Translation* Bug reporting* Quality Assurance* Coding* New functionality* ImplementationsYou can also help by passing the word. Many health professionals do not know that there are free health systems that can be used for free. By letting them know about GNU Health, they will be able to iinvestigate it further and see whether it fits their needs.Tell your government officials and health authorities about Free software solutions in Health. No matter whether is GNU Health or other free health information system. What it matters is that they have to get involved in Free Software for the health sector. Tell them about the benefits about implementing a Free Health Information System.Governments like the European Commission and Brazil have already published GNU Health at their public software portals.Support GNU Solidario :----------------------GNU Health is a project of GNU Solidario.
