[ILUG-BOM] Need inputs for FOSS Hospital Management Tools

Hi All!

I will meeting a charitable hospital management tomorrow. They want to migrate to FOSS technologies for their hospital. This hospital caters to about 1000 OPD cases on daily bases.

They already have some accounting, attendance and payroll software running on MS Windows. They would also like to know if the same can me run on the Linux (GNU/Linux) system.

I would like to get inputs from people who are associated with health care industry what are the components and tools required for Hospital Management. Are these tools available in FOSS. If yes, how good are they? What amount of customisation will be required?

TIA for all your feedback and inputs. With regards,
