Info

  1. Bahmni Lite is a light-weight, opensource flavor of Bahmni targeted towards clinics & small hospitals, which don’t need a heavy-weight HIMS, but are looking for an easy-to-use EMR & Billing software.

  2. Bahmni Lite contains Bahmni EMR (backend is OpenMRS) and Crater (billing and invoicing solution) – and is cloud ready for quick deployment. Read more here.

  3. In contrast to standard version of Bahmni for hospitals, the Lite version of Bahmni does not package opensource OpenELIS (Lab information system) and Odoo (ERP). Instead it packages Lab Lite module and Crater. The EMR/Clinical portion of Bahmni Standard and Bahmni Lite are exactly the same. Its just the Lab & ERP pieces which are different – due to the fact that Lite is targetted towards clinics/small hospitals which don’t need full block Lab management systems or ERP for stock management, etc.
