Great!
Could you please introduce yourself? We encourage new users to

In the HMIS, you can associate the person with the login user, in a
similar way we do with health professionals.

They can. GH is a multi-user, multi-language system. Each person can
choose their own language. Check "Preferences".

We have the documentation portal in Wikibooks

Most of the cases are documented. For instance, check the following
chapter on how to create a patient
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Patient_Management 


In any case, you're welcome -once you know the system- to contribute to
the documentation project. There is always room for improvement.
