To preface: I would be happy to see open source adoption in healthcare.
This is presented as an open source software project but it should also make a pitch to managers and doctors - the decision-makers. I put "GNU Health" into YouTube and the first few pages of results were very old and mostly amateur screencasts showing installation while one was an animated presentation with an awful robo voice. I should add none were official videos from the project team.
Then on the official site it says there's a laboratory information management component, but that is not apparent on the documentation page. This is not reassuring if I'm tasked with evaluating for potential adoption.
Next I tried looking up how the Jamaican Health Ministry is using it. The page seems to be over 10 years old: https://www.moh.gov.jm/technical-services-division/health-in... but again this is not under the control of the project team. The main team should help successful users write up their projects (the one page version) and then link to those write ups.
