Open-Source Hospital Information System (HIS) Architecture and Technology Stack Overview

Today we introduce an open‑source Hospital Information System (HIS) project that uses mainstream technologies such as Spring Cloud and Spring Boot 2.x, providing a relatively complete solution for developers working on medical systems.

The system’s main functions are divided by data flow and processing stages into clinical diagnosis, drug management, financial management, and patient management, with various workstations collaborating to collect, process, aggregate, and analyze clinical information.

Project Scope

The project aims to build a complete medical system using current popular technologies.

Future plans include adding deployment tutorials, improving code quality, and updating the technology stack to the latest versions while introducing new technologies.

The repository contains the following modules:
