01 / The platform
A longitudinal patient record built around real hospital work.
GDMS is more than an electronic file. It coordinates people, decisions, orders, results, resources and accountability from first contact through discharge and follow-up.
Follow the patient journey →Workflow before paperwork
Role-specific workspaces help registrars, nurses, doctors, technicians, pharmacists and managers act on the same care journey without duplicating paper processes.
Accountability by design
Permissions, biometrics, audit events, verification gates, status histories and technical diagnostics make sensitive actions visible and reviewable.
Local care, national intelligence
Facility data can support hospital operations, surveillance, geographic statistics, telehealth and controlled exchange with national health infrastructure.

From arrival to recovery,
every handoff is visible.

WHO Newborn Care Standard
Operational signals for safe postnatal care.
The dashboard follows WHO newborn and postnatal-care domains: routine assessment, early recognition of danger signs, special care for preterm or low-birth-weight babies, thermal care, feeding support and timely follow-up.
Fields not yet structured in GDMS are shown as documentation gaps rather than assumed care.
Danger Signs
Review breathing, feeding, temperature, convulsions, lethargy, jaundice and possible infection.
KMC / Thermal Care
Prioritize preterm and low-birth-weight babies for skin-to-skin/KMC, warmth, feeding support and close follow-up.
Low Birth Weight
WHO threshold: birth weight below 2.5 kg. Very low birth weight is tracked below 1.5 kg.
Breathing / APGAR
APGAR below 7 is surfaced for immediate breathing, resuscitation review and newborn observation handover.
Core Documentation
Date and time of birth, birth weight and APGAR form the minimum visible completeness signal.

09 / Public audit dossier
Claims connected
to evidence.
This edition distinguishes observable source implementation, configurable hospital content, standards alignment, and operational validation. That distinction keeps the public record precise and reviewable.
Complete module directory under the application layer.
Clinical, administrative, integration and operational entry points.
Endpoints, workflow actions, helpers and controller-level implementation.
Forms, dashboards, worklists, reports and patient-facing screens.
Implemented in source
A controller, model, schema, route or view directly implements the capability. Examples include ICD-11 fields, CT/MRI viewers, WHO surgical phases, MUAC thresholds and lab acceptance gates.
- File-level implementation can be inspected
- Routes and actions can be traced
- Schema fields preserve workflow state
- Views expose the function to an authorized role
Configurable hospital content
GDMS provides the machinery while each deployment supplies approved local data. This includes departments, services, specialties, tests, medicines, wards, users, permissions and reporting scope.
- No fixed departmental ceiling
- Local catalogues remain governable
- Role access adapts to the facility
- Clinical wording can follow approved policy
Standards alignment
The code carries fields or workflows modeled on a named international standard or instrument. The site names the implemented portion instead of extending the claim beyond the evidence.
- WHO ICD-10 and ICD-11
- WHO/UNICEF child MUAC
- WHO WHODAS 2.0 and surgical checklist
- DICOM/DICOMweb and SNOMED-oriented structures
Operational validation
Deployment teams record local protocol review, training, connectivity tests, access review, backup exercises, quality audits and workflow acceptance.
- MISAU and hospital governance review
- Departmental SOP confirmation
- Staff competency and training records
- Recurring audit and improvement evidence
Traceability model
Claim → module → action → stored evidence → accountable role
- ClaimWhat the system is described as doing.
- ModuleThe source area responsible.
- ActionThe user or integration event.
- EvidenceRecord, state, audit or output produced.
- RoleThe authorized owner or reviewer.
10 / Safety, quality & continuity
Controls that work
across every department.
Many of GDMS’s most important functions are not a single menu item. They operate across the patient journey to reduce missed information, unsafe handoffs and unaccountable actions.
Patient identity continuity
Registration, demographic details, contact records, relatives, visit context and patient overview keep orders, results, medicines, admissions and reports tied to the correct record.
Clinical decision context
Diagnoses, allergies, chronic diseases, prior results, previous prescriptions, history, examination and SOAP notes remain available when clinicians make new decisions.
Medication safety
Allergy checks, active safety rules, hard-stop warnings, biometric prescription authorization and pharmacist override review place controls around prescribing and dispensing.
Diagnostic traceability
Requester, patient, specimen/study, acquisition, status, findings, validator, delivery and prior results create a connected diagnostic chain across lab, pathology and imaging.
High-risk verification
WHO surgical phases, blood compatibility, bedside verification, electronic signatures, dual review and biometric checkpoints strengthen sensitive workflows.
Infection surveillance
Admission, emergency and OPD infection-control records include catheter-associated, urinary-catheter and surgical-site infections, with a reported-infections register.
Handover and transitions
Referrals, observation, admission, ward transfer, bed movement, rounds, Cardex, discharge orders and patient summaries preserve continuity between teams and locations.
Audit and accountability
Clinical events, pharmacy overrides, PACS activity, biometric actions, permission changes, user presence and technical support actions provide multiple audit surfaces.
11 / Standards references & implementation boundaries
Named sources.
Precise boundaries.
The standards language used throughout this site is anchored to recognized sources and paired with the exact scope visible in GDMS.

What the source audit establishes
Presence of application logic, routes, schemas, workspaces, fields, reports and audit mechanisms in this GDMS repository.
What deployment evidence establishes
Which modules are enabled, which catalogues are loaded, who has access, which integrations are connected and whether workflows have been locally accepted.
What ongoing governance establishes
Current protocol wording, staff competency, data quality, incident response, access review, backup readiness and sustained safe use.
