- Nursing roundings ( evaluations, procedures, medications ... )

Comments
This is really interesting development for me. I think that it is essential that something as confidential as patient records should stored in free software applications, such as GNU Health. Thereby increasing the software's security, relaibility and freedom to be further developed on a community basis for the community.
Giving hospitals and clinics the possibility to buy into software that promotes sustainability whilst reducing expenditure.
