The Initiative
➔ This PIMS project was initiated by Dr. Thusith
Gunawardane.
➔ It was developed in my free time.
➔ We named it Neerogi. The name might change.
➔ Published on the internet as an open source software
project: http://github.com/neerogi
➔ Initially being used at Base Hospital Wathupitiwala,
Sri Lanka.

➔ A PIMS could analyze patient data in an aggregated
manner.
➔ For an example patient data could be summarized in
different medical specialities and analyze results.
➔ The results could highlight various aspects of medical
specialities.
➔ Based on gender, age groups, regions, time period, etc.
➔ This technology is called BIG Data in IT.

➔ Useful in national level planning
➔ Programme management
➔ Monitoring and evaluation
➔ Disease surveillance
➔ Understanding disease trends
