Core Platform

The Core is the foundation that everything else in LAMISPlus runs on. It handles patient identity, staff accounts, facility configuration, and the clinical module system. Every other module, EHR, public health, inpatient, billing, runs on top of Core.

Patient registry​

Every patient in LAMISPlus has a single identity that spans all modules. A patient registered at the front desk is the same patient the nurse sees in triage, the doctor sees in consultation, and the lab sees when their sample arrives. There is no re-registration between departments.

Patient records include demographic information, contact details, and a unique identifier that can be used to retrieve the record from any workstation in the facility.

Staff and roles​

Facility administrators manage staff accounts through the Core. Each staff member is assigned one or more roles, doctor, nurse, lab scientist, pharmacist, records officer, and so on. Roles determine what each person can see and do in the system.

Roles can be customised to match the actual staffing structure of the facility. A facility with specialist roles like "senior registrar" or "HTS counsellor" can create those roles and assign the appropriate permissions.

Facility configuration​

System administrators use Core to:

  • Enable and disable clinical modules for the facility
  • Configure facility details (name, address, contact information)
  • Manage staff accounts and role assignments
  • View system health and module status
  • Access the audit log

Multi-facility administration​

For organisations running multiple facilities, Core provides a central administration panel. Super-administrators can view all facilities, manage which modules each facility has access to, and install new modules across the platform without logging into each facility individually.

Session management​

Core manages every staff member's login session. Sessions are time-limited, staff are automatically logged out after a period of inactivity and must re-authenticate. This protects patient data on shared or unattended workstations.
