Hello,
     We are considering GNU Health for the township hospital in Auroville, a universal town in India.  We are a small team and would be grateful if you could give us an idea of the efforts involved and clarify some of the following :

1. How long does it approximately take from start to deployment for a 100 bed hospital?
(Implementing Patient Appointments, Inpatient and Outpatient evaluations, surgeries, finances, obstetrics , stock management , Laboratory management, bed management, ICU, Pathology, Radiology, USG and Pharmacy.)

It will depend on how many resources are involved in the project, but personally i think that between nine months to one year.

 

2.  Would we have to make any source code changes?. Or do we only have to configure and create the database?.

Usually you will have to create a module for all the localization stuff (changes to some forms, reports, etc) to adapt GNU Health to the hospital needs.

 

3. We understand it depends heavily on Tryton which is owned by a different organisation. If Tryton project were to run into any difficulties would that affect GNU Health?.  Is there any issue we need to be aware of in this regard?. Please let us know.

Tryton is supported by the Tryton Foundation [0] and many companies, so the future of the project it is not at risk.

Best regards!
